Hi Sam,

This is perfectly normal!  The key is the line:

diffusion_tensor.init(1e-8,fixed=True)

Here you have fixed the diffusion tensor to spherical tumbling of 10
ns.  Note that >80% of the contribution to relaxation is due to the
global tumbling.  So if you get this global tumbling wrong, it has an
absolute crushing effect on the remaining 20% and the fine model-free
parameter values and model selection dependent on that 20%.  So
obtaining a very good estimate for the molecular Brownian diffusion is
essential, otherwise you should expect catastrophic failures in the
fine internal motions (which is what you are seeing).  This is why in
the last 20 years, that no one will take any published results
seriously if you do not have data at two field strengths.  It is also
why I developed that long protocol for obtaining a highly refined
diffusion tensor together with the internal motions.

You may think that you can obtain a diffusion estimate from another
technique (optical rotation data, hydrodynamics bead modelling, MD
simulation, etc.), however these are either not good enough or plain
wrong, specifically because of the packing interactions and
microviscosity in your NMR tube being poorly, or not at all, modelled.
It is imperative that the diffusion tensor is optimised against the
relaxation data.

Regards,

Edward
