Dear all,

We would like to invite you to the 83rd Global NMR meeting on Tuesday March 26th. Prof. Leif Schroeder from the German Cancer Research Center will give a tutorial talk on:

Title: Hyperpolarized Xenon NMR for Exploring Molecular Host Cavities and Advancing MR Imaging

Abstract: The large chemical shift range of Xe-129 NMR makes this nucleus a valuable probe in spectroscopy and biomedical imaging. Hyperpolarized Xe can be used also as dissolved noble gas to provide 10’000-fold improved sensitivity over extended periods of time. In combination with saturation transfer techniques, reversibly bound hyperpolarized xenon gives insights into exchange kinetics of various host-guest complexes. This talk will give an overview of studies investigating the affinity of dissolved Xe for various hosts like biogenic hollow protein structures with attoliter volumes or synthetic hosts for trapping individual Xe atoms. Both strategies find applications in the spectroscopic investigation of exchange kinetics of host-guest systems and in the design of ultra-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging agents.
