R1ρ in the presence of chemical exchange. A) ωeff,GS (blue) and ωeff,ES (red) in the rotating frame where the spin-locking field ω1 appears stationary, for two-state and n-state exchange. B) Alignment of the net magnetization at the start of an R1ρ experiment for a system undergoing GS-ES exchange under fast and slow exchange regimes. C) Rotation of the magnetization of GS/ES spins around their respective effective fields leads to dephasing of the bulk magnetization along ωeff,OBS during the R1ρ experiment. Shown is a representative example under conditions of fast exchange.
