MRI endoscopy using intrinsically localized probes.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is traditionally performed with fixed externally applied gradient magnetic fields and is hence intrinsically locked to the laboratory frame of reference (FoR). Here a method for high-resolution MRI that employs active, catheter-based, tiny internal probes that utilize the spatial properties of the probe itself for localization is proposed and demonstrated at 3 T...
متن کاملMetalloprotein Design & Engineering
Metalloproteins play important roles in biology. They account for about 1/3 of structurally characterized proteins and about 1/2 of all proteins.1 The availability of different metal ions with various redox states, ligands, and geometries about the metal ion allows for fine-tuning of the reactivity of proteins at the highest level. As shown in other sections of this encyclopedia, studies of nat...
متن کاملDevelopment of supramolecular metalloprotein mimics
Supramolecular mimics of metalloproteins, viz. cytochrome P-450 and ironsulfur proteins are described. The cytochrome P-450 mimic consists of a Mn porphyrin and a Rh complex which are incorporated within a vesicle membrane in water. This system catalyses the reductive activation of molecular oxygen in the epoxidation of alkenes at Mn, with reducing equivalents derived from the simultaneous Rh c...
متن کاملParamagnetic Gd-based gold glyconanoparticles as probes for MRI: tuning relaxivities with sugars.
Combining sugar conjugates and DO3A-Gd complexes, paramagnetic gold glyconanoparticles (GNPs) with different relaxivity values were obtained and tested in vivo as MRI probes.
متن کاملDNA-based MRI probes for specific detection of chronic exposure to amphetamine in living brains.
We designed phosphorothioate-modified DNA probes linked to superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) for in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of fosB and Delta fosB mRNA after amphetamine (AMPH) exposure in mice. Specificity of both the fosB and Delta fosB probes was verified by in vitro reverse transcriptase-PCR amplification to a single fragment of total cDNA obtained from acutel...
