Hi xveesi, Thanks for reaching out and for sharing your data. The wavy nature of the ChemEx profile is not necessarily a cause for concern. In fact, it is often expected in many cases and reflects the accurate physics modeled by ChemEx, particularly in the context of off-resonance effects and pulse imperfections. ChemEx uses a detailed Bloch-McConnell approach, which integrates the effects of all pulses and accounts for the different relaxation pathways during the pulse sequence. These effects can lead to subtle variations in effective relaxation rates as a function of the CPMG frequency, manifesting as the observed waviness. This behavior is intrinsic to ChemEx’s modeling and doesn’t imply poor fit or inaccurate results. Instead, it often provides a more realistic depiction of the experimental system than the smoother Carver-Richards curves that might overlook details. If you'd like, I can help investigate further to ensure everything is set up optimally for your analysis. To do so, it would be helpful to look at your experiment.toml, fitted.toml, fixed.toml, and constrained.toml files to understand the parameter settings and constraints applied in the fitting process. Let me know if you'd like to proceed or have additional questions! Best, |

Hi Guillaume, Please find the method.toml, experiment.toml, fitted.toml, fixed.toml, and constrained.toml attached here. Thanks again. Best, |

Hi Guillaume, Thanks for your prompt response. I got the gist of how the program includes pulse imperfections and offset parameters. Coming back to the issue of my fitting, I do give the CS_A in the original parameter files. Somehow it returns to 0 ppm for all after the calculations. It may be something silly mistake I am making. I can't figure it out at the moment. I am attaching the entire fitting for 4 residues. Please have a look and let me know. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, |

Thanks a lot. I never would have thought that naming would be the error! |
