CR72

The Carver and Richards 1972 2-site relaxation dispersion model for SQ CPMG-type data for most time scales whereby the simplification $R_{2A}^0$ = $R_{2B}^0$ is assumed. This model is labelled as CR72 in relax.

Equation

Please see the summary of the model parameters here.

[math] R_{2,\textrm{eff}} = \frac{R_2^A+R_2^B+k_{\textrm{EX}}}{2} - \nu_{\textrm{cpmg}} \cosh^{-1} (D_+\cosh(\eta_+) - D_-\cos(\eta_-)) [/math]

Which have the following definitions

[math] \zeta = 2 \Delta \omega \, (R_2^A - R_2^B - p_A k_{\textrm{EX}} + p_B k_{\textrm{EX}}) \\ \Psi = (R_2^A - R_2^B - p_A k_{\textrm{EX}} + p_B k_{\textrm{EX}})^2 - \Delta \omega^2 + 4 p_A p_B k_{\textrm{ex}}^2 \\ \eta_+ = \frac{\sqrt[3]{4}}{\nu_{\textrm{cpmg}}}\sqrt{+\Psi + \sqrt{\Psi^2 + \zeta^2}} \\ \eta_- = \frac{\sqrt[3]{4}}{\nu_{\textrm{cpmg}}}\sqrt{-\Psi + \sqrt{\Psi^2 + \zeta^2}} [/math]

[math]k_{\textrm{EX}}[/math] is the chemical exchange rate constant, [math]p_A[/math] and [math]p_B[/math] are the populations of states A and B, and [math]\Delta \omega[/math] is the chemical shift difference between the two states in ppm.

Parameters

The CR72 model has the parameters {$R_2^0$, $...$, $p_A$, $\Delta\omega$, $k_{ex}$}.
