However, if there are time points in the series which only consist of a single spectrum, then the standard deviations of replicated time points will be averaged. Hence, for the entire experiment - there will be a single error value for all residues and for all time points. + there will be a single error value for all spins and for all time points. A better approach rather than averaging across all time points would be to use a form of interpolation as the errors across time points generally decreases for longer time periods.
