Hi Daniel

Calculations for the reduced spectral density mapping need only the R1,
R2 and NOE at one field. R1, R2 and NOE are 3 variables you measure and
you extract 3 parameters from them. This is only a simple calculation
using in relax the equations that follow :

j0 = -1.5 / (3.0*d + c) * (0.5*r1 - r2 + 0.6*sigma_noe)
jwx = 1.0 / (3.0*d + c) * (r1 - 1.4*sigma_noe)
jwh = sigma_noe / (5.0*d)

where j0, jwx and jwh are, respectively, the spectral density at the
zero frequency, at the nitrogen frequency (in the special case where you
work with 15N relaxation) and at the apparent proton frequency
(sometimes called J(wH) or J(0.87wH) ).

The other constants and variables are :

c = CSA constant
d = dipolar constant
sigma_noe = cross-relaxation rate (calculated using NOE and R1)

That said, you can extract spectral densities using data from different
magnetic fields at the same time. This only changes the obtained value
for J(0), as J(wN) and J(wH) are field dependent... For example, if you
have data at three fields, you would get 1 value for J(0), 3 values for
J(wN) and 3 values for J(wH). This approach is not yet implemented in
relax, but it could be something useful. In fact, it's something I
personally would like to contribute when I have time, maybe this fall...

However, calculating J(0) using different fields in separated
calculations is something useful you may want to do prior to any
calculation using multiple field data. The reason is that J(0) should be
field independent, in cases where us-ms motions (Rex in the model-free
language) are not present. Thus, calculating J(0) helps you assess the
quality of your data. This is quite important as different factors may
influence the consistency of your data acquired at different magnetic
fields...

A part of relax is specially designed to do 3 different consistency
tests : J(0), Fn and FR2. Those consistency tests are implemented in a
special branch of relax which contains, apart from that, all the same
functions. A sample script is also available as for other functions
within relax. You can get that version of the program with svn by typing :

svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/branches/consistency_tests_1.2/ .

Some of the topics in that mail were already discussed some time ago...

You can find useful information on reduced spectral density mapping by
reading the following post :

Also, some interesting information on consistency tests is available at :

I hope this helps you out !!

Cheers
