ABSTRACT:
Featured is an MRI/NMR methodology or process to detect amide protons of endogenous mobile proteins and peptides via the water signal. Such methods and processes can be used for the purposes of detection of pH effects and labile amide proton content of mobile proteins/peptides or content changes thereto using MRI Also featured are methods whereby assessment of determined pH effects and amide proton content or content changes and related mobile protein and/or peptide content or content changes can be used in connection with diagnosis, program and treatment of brain related disorders and diseases, cardiac disorders and diseases, and cancer and to use such methods for monitoring, detecting and assessing protein and peptide content in vivo and pathologically for any of a number of diseases or disorders of a human body, including but not limited to cancers, ischemia, Alzheimers and Parkinsons.
