NMR spin relaxation measurements of picosecond to nanosecond timescale backbone and sidechain fluctuations of protein molecules, and subsequent entropic interpretation yield interesting, but sometimes counterintuitive, insights into proteins. The stabilities of proteins and protein interactions are achieved through enthalpy-entropy compensation, which is partitioned between the backbone and sidechains depending on the nature of the system.
