Using the amide proton signals of intracellular proteins and peptides to detect pH effects in MRI

In the past decade, it has become possible to use the nuclear (proton, 1 H) signal of the hydrogen atoms in water for noninvasive assessment of functional and physiological parameters with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here we show that it is possible to produce pH-sensitive MRI contrast by expl...
