Hi Eldon and Edward, Currently, from what I understand from the BMRB storage format, Rex values derived from model-free analysis are stored in the "T2 relaxation" frame under "_Rex_value" and "_Rex_error" tags.
Those are the old v2.1 tags. For the values from a model-free analysis they are now called _Order_param.Rex_val and _Order_param.Rex_val_fit_err. I'm not sure if you can use the model-free Rex values in the _Auto_relaxation.Rex_val tag though. I'm guessing these tags are for experimentally measured Rex values rather than fitted via a specific theory values.
Generally, these values will be scaled and deposited for a single magnetic field. Hence, I wonder: * If there should be some automatic scaling of the data so that Rex values scaled to other magnetic fields could be readily available in the BMRB file. This would, of course, need the user to confirm that values should be scaled, for example, assuming a fast exchange regime... Moreover, in the case where some R2 values are deposited but were not used in the model-free analysis (for example, in case of inconsistency as in Morin and Gagné, 2009, Biophys.J. 96: 4681–4691), no Rex should be associated with this particular magnetic field...
If the values are from model-free analysis, this analysis assumes fast exchange and hence quadratic scaling. So if you used the model-free Rex values in the relaxation saveframes, you could scale these and have different Rex values per Auto_relaxation saveframe, as each of these saveframes corresponds to a different magnetic field strength. But I don't think we should use the _Auto_relaxation.Rex_val tag.
* If the magnetic field independent value should be stored somewhere else. I guess that Edward has already discussed this before in some post..? Any idea / comment ?
I have only recently noticed this problem with the scanning of the entire BMRB. But I think we need a tag identifying the frequency of the Rex data in the Order_parameter saveframe. For example: _Order_parameter_list.Rex_frequency_1H This is modelled on the _Auto_relaxation_list.Spectrometer_frequency_1H tag. Alternatively the Rex values could be the sigma_Rex field strength independent value, though none of the current data is in this notation. Regards, Edward
