Applications of BBa_K1123013

This part was designed to generate CEST MRI contrast. The basic principle behind this technique is based on compounds that contain pools of exchangeable protons that can be selectively saturated using radiofrequency irradiation. Upon proton exchange with bulk water, these compounds can be indirectly visualized by measuring the bulk water using an MRI machine. The amino acids Lysine, Arginine, Threonine and Serine contain those exchangeable protons and polypeptides containing those amino acids in abundance are therefore potential contrast agents. The protein of this part has a high lysine percentage of .
