Folding states of proteins may have an important contribution to the NOEmediated contrast in chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging of tumors. In 1 H NMR experiments with bovine serum albumin (BSA) under different denaturing conditions a characteristic signature of protein folding state in the Zspectrum was identified. This signature may enable to determine the extent of changes of Zspectra due to protein unfolding in vivo .
