Purification and Structural Characterization of a Novel Class of Protein- Based Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast Agents

More than one-third of all Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans employ image-enhancing contrast agents to increase the differential signal intensity between diseased and normal tissue. Because current clinical contrast agents exhibit low relaxivity (mM-1 s-1), low dose efficiency, and rapid secret...
