Fig. 6. Testing the method using MD-derived results.

(A) Scoring function φα (Eq. 3) for different normal modes with reference to the MD-derived ζcoh(q,Δt). (B) Comparison of ζcoh(q,Δt) derived from MD with that calculated from the first normal mode with < x2 > NM = 0.44 Å2 required to minimize φα.
