CEST Based Marker Proteins

To create bacteria with the ability to generate contrast on a CEST MRI scan, polypeptides that have that ability had to be found. Various solutions based on short Lysine, Arganine, Threonine or Serine rich sequences were proposed.McMahonDIACESTM.T. McMahon, New "Multicolor" Polypeptide Diamagnetic Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (DIACEST) Contrast Agents for MRI. Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 60, 803-812 (2008) However, it is hard to predict how well these sequences will express in bacteria and whether they are sufficiently stable in vivo. To avoid these problems a new approach was taken. The suitability as a CEST Based Marker was estimated for proteins of which the structure is already clarified.
