Transforming Thymidine into a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Probe
for Monitoring Gene Expression

This paper describes an NMR-timescale proton exchange of imino (in a thymidine analogue) and water protons, leading to chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) contrast. This mechanism relies on phosphorylation-based mechanism for the localization of the thymidine analogue in cells that express HSV1-tk genes.
