Folding states of proteins may have an important
contribution to the NOEmediated contrast in chemical
exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging of tumors.
In
1
H
NMR experiments with bovine serum albumin (BSA) under
different denaturing conditions a characteristic
signature of protein folding state in the Zspectrum was
identified. This signature may enable to determine the
extent of changes of Zspectra due to protein unfolding
in
vivo
