Before revision:  Based on analysis of extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulation trajectories of eleven proteins with different sizes and folds, we found that significant spatially long-range backbone torsional pair correlations exist extensively in some proteins and are dominantly executed by loop residues .
After revision:  Based on analysis of extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulation trajectories for ten proteins with different sizes and folds, we found that significant spatially long-range backbone torsional pair correlations exist extensively in some proteins and are dominantly executed by loop residues .
