The Precise Molecular Location of Gadolinium Atoms has a Significant Influence on the Efficacy of Nanoparticulate MRI Positive Contrast Agents

In this work, we studied the influence of the structure of macromolecular ligands on the relaxivity of gadolinium contrast agents constructed as nanoparticle systems. Macromolecular ligands were assembled as single-molecule nanoparticles in the form of either discrete core cross-linked star polymers...
