## Abstract An array of 33 prototype polypeptides was examined as putative contrast agents that can be distinguished from each other based on the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) mechanism. These peptides were chosen based on predictions of the chemical exchange rates of exchangeable am
It has been previously shown that intrinsic metabolites can be imaged based on their water proton exchange rates using saturation transfer techniques. The goal of this study was to identify an appropriate chemical exchange site that could be developed for use as an exogenous chemical exchange depend
## Abstract Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI has been shown capable of detecting dilute labile protons and abnormal tissue glucose/oxygen metabolism, and thus, may serve as a complementary imaging technique to the conventional MRI methods. CEST imaging, however, is also dependent on
