Hi Edward, Principally I am looking for pure R2 without Rex contribution. Currently we are using some home made scripts which basically are using equation 20 in Palmer, Massi, 2006 (PMID 16683750). So for the technical side, how do I proceed in relax? Do I need to fix the decay for R1 and R1rho and then calculate R2 or just fit R1 and use my raw intensities from the R1rho measurements for the R2 calculation?
