A transfer of motion from the side chains to the protein backbone had already been hypothesized (Lakomek et al. 2005). Due to the lack of dynamic information for the side chains, conclusions were based on the assumption that solvent-exposed side chains were more mobile than those in the core of the protein. Now that direct experimental information about side chain dynamics in a time window from pico- to milliseconds becomes available, it is of interest to investigate whether there is a direct correlation between the order parameters of the methyl groups and those of the backbone amides to which they are directly bonded."}
