Here we will compare outcomes of the four alternative models for conditions when binding is weak and the off-rate is fast. The isomerization is chosen to be slow here. I choose binding affinity of 106 M-1 and the off-rate constant of 500 s-1. R and RL are separated by 100 s-1 and R* or R*L - by 100 s-1 from corresponding species. Isomerization equilibrium is shifted 5:1 toward *-forms. The reverse isomerization rate is 17 s-1 to make kex =100 s-1 .

Note remarkable narrowing of the peak in the very beginning of titration! | Similar to U model | Notice remarkable narrowing of the peak near the end of titration! |
NOTE: The transient narrowing of the line shapes in U_R and U_RL models is only happening if *-isomer chemical shift is in between the R and RL chemical shifts as can be seen below:

Shifting of the final peak is a remarkable feature. Shifting of the initial peak is small inversely proportional to the R*/R. | Shifting of the initial peak is a remarkable feature. Shifting of the final peak is small inversely proportional to the RL*/RL. The FWHH of the final peak sharply decreases at the end. |
The models produce very feature-rich lineshapes. Forward and reverse titrations will enable sensitive distinction between the models.

slow exchange conditions help us see the average resonance of R and RL moving through the R* resonance | Exchange between R and R* is in intermediate regime (kex=60) and significant narrowing of the overlapped line is seen at L/R=0.1, 0.2 | Exchange between R and R* is faster so the peak at L/R=0 becomes narrower while the overlapped resonance at 0.1 and 0.2 stays same narrow (visual narrowing effect disappears). | The R-R* exchange is fast now, now visual narrowing is seen but the line widths are significantly different from what U-model would produce | ||||||

Reason to the significant narrowing of the peak in the initial steps after ligand addition is that the fast-exchange resonance between R and RL shifts and overlaps with the position of R*. When k2 accelerates so the exchange between R and R* becomes intermediate and the significant narrowing of the average peak between all three states is observed. As k2 further accelerates the initial broadening of R-R* peak reduces so there is no visual narrowing any more.
Another large effect is that the maximum of broadening is at L/R=0.5 when exchange in R-R* is intermediate and shifts even further away to 0.6 when exchange becomes fast so no initial narrowing is seen any more. Only when exchange rate exceeds 3000/s the maximum of broadening returns to the 0.4 observed in the 2-state model.
These are very significant effects indicative of the U_R model.

U_RL system gives rise to much more significant line broadening than U system. Visually, when k2(B) brings B-transition into intermediate regime we see narrowing of the average peak at the end of titration (L/R=0.9) followed by a new broadening process. As k2(B) accelerates the effect is reduced and the maximum of broadening in the titration series shifts from L/R 0.4-0.5 to 0.4 (relatively minor shift) and the end-point broadening is reduced as well.
If isomerization is fast then we only see a shifting peak. However, these two cases as still markedly distinct

Kd and Koff are roughly in the range but pattern of discrepancy between U and U_R is remarkable due to significant differences in line broadening distribution across L/R range | Discrepancy between U and U_RL is smaller because line broadening effect is distributed similarly along L/R but much larger line width dictate significantly smaller Koff. Pattern of mismatch between the line shape is less remarkable and very different from what U_R shows. |
