No Rex

The relaxation dispersion model for no chemical exchange. This if for all SQ CPMG-type data, MMQ CPMG-type data, and R1rho-type data. This model is labelled as No Rex in relax.

Parameters

The No Rex model has the parameter R₂⁰ or R_1ρ' depending on the data type.

Equation for No Exchange in CPMG

[math] R_{2,\textrm{eff}} = R_2^0 [/math]

Equation for No Exchange in R1rho

[math] \mathrm{R}_{1\rho}= \mathrm{R}_1\cos^2\theta + \mathrm{R}_{1\rho}{´} \sin^2\theta [/math]

If no R₁ values has been loaded, but the R1_fit flag has been turned on, the R₁ will be fitted as well.

For data without a loaded offset, (see also relax disp.spin lock offset+field ), if
[math] \bar{\Omega}_{S,i} = 0.0 [/math] then the Rotating frame tilt angle θ is set to: [math] \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} [/math]

and as such
[math] cos^2\theta = cos^2\left( \frac{\pi}{2} \right) = 0.0 [/math]

Therefore the fitted R₁ values have no meaning for "No Rex" model, if there is no offset.
