TABLE III.

Some examples of possible results that can be obtained after sorting the set of DCM pure entropies from lowest to highest, and then assigned ranks of 1 and greater, respectively. Pure entropy values listed on the leftmost column are rank ordered in the various columns. The letter R indicates that the constraint is always redundant, and therefore is always ineffective in reducing conformational entropy. The last row gives the dimension [34] of the transfer matrix T for the particular rank ordering. Column h corresponds to the rank ordering used in example (23). Column l is similar to column h except that degeneracy is lifted from all the γxyz pure entropies.
