Long-lived states to sustain hyperpolarized magnetization.
Major breakthroughs have recently been reported that can help overcome two inherent drawbacks of NMR: the lack of sensitivity and the limited memory of longitudinal magnetization. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) couples nuclear spins to the large reservoir of electrons, thus making it possible to detect dilute endogenous substances in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and magnetic resona...
متن کاملHyperpolarized long-lived nuclear spin states in monodeuterated methyl groups.
Monodeuterated methyl groups may support a long-lived nuclear spin state, with a relaxation time exceeding the conventional spin-lattice relaxation time T1. Dissolution-DNP (dynamic nuclear polarization) may be used to hyperpolarize such a long-lived spin state. This is demonstrated for the CH2D groups of a piperidine derivative. The polarized sample is manipulated in the ambient magnetic field...
متن کاملDrug Screening Boosted by Hyperpolarized Long-Lived States in NMR
Transverse and longitudinal relaxation times (T1ρ and T1) have been widely exploited in NMR to probe the binding of ligands and putative drugs to target proteins. We have shown recently that long-lived states (LLS) can be more sensitive to ligand binding. LLS can be excited if the ligand comprises at least two coupled spins. Herein we broaden the scope of ligand screening by LLS to arbitrary li...
متن کاملObservation of anomalously long-lived hyperpolarized C13 states in parahydrogen-induced polarization
Introduction: Hyperpolarized contrast media based on nuclei such as C yield significant enhancements of signal-to-noise ratio in MRI (1). These agents are beginning to show promise for a variety of applications, including real-time metabolic imaging (2) and cancer imaging (3). One challenge to the widespread application of these agents is the relatively short spin-lattice (T1) relaxation time o...
متن کاملProton hyperpolarisation preserved in long-lived states.
The polarisation of abundant protons, rather than dilute nuclei with low gyromagnetic ratios, can be enhanced in less than 10 min using dissolution DNP and converted into a long-lived state delocalised over an ensemble of three coupled protons. The process is more straightforward than the hyperpolarisation of heteronuclei followed by magnetisation transfer to protons.
