Steric interactions within the amino acid sequence introduce local orientation within the random flight polymer chain. The net effect is that RDC at the termini will tend toward zero, whereas internal sequences will have non-vanishing values.

A novel and interesting feature of this work is the use of gene ontology (GO) terms to estimate the over- and under-representation of predicted disorder in the molecular function, biological process and cellular component ontologies.
