Abstract
Noble gases have well-established biological effects, yet their molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated, both experimentally and computationally, the molecular modes of xenon (Xe) action in bacteriophage T4 lysozyme (T4L). By combining indirect gassing methods with a colorimetric lysozyme activity assay, a reversible, Xe-specific (20 ± 3)% inhibition effect was observed. Accelerated molecular dynamic simulations revealed that Xe exerts allosteric inhibition on the protein by expanding a C-terminal hydrophobic cavity. Xe-induced cavity expansion results in global conformational changes, with long-range transduction distorting the active site where peptidoglycan binds. Interestingly, the peptide substrate binding site that enables lysozyme specificity does not change conformation. Two T4L mutants designed to reshape the C-terminal Xe cavity established a correlation between cavity expansion and enzyme inhibition. This work also highlights the use of Xe flooding simulations to identify new cryptic binding pockets. These results enrich our understanding of Xe-protein interactions at the molecular level and inspire further biochemical investigations with noble gases.

Abstract
At the beginning of the millennium, the first chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) contrast agents were bio-organic molecules. However, later, metal-based CEST agents (paraCEST agents) took center stage. This did not last too long as paraCEST agents showed limited translational potential. By contrast, the CEST field gradually became dominated by metal-free CEST agents. One branch of research stemming from the original work by van Zijl and colleagues is the development of CEST agents based on polypeptides. Indeed, in the last 2 decades, tremendous progress has been achieved in this field. This includes the design of novel peptides as biosensors, genetically encoded recombinant as well as synthetic reporters. This was a result of extensive characterization and elucidation of the theoretical requirements for rational designing and engineering of such agents. Here, we provide an extensive overview of the evolution of more precise protein-based CEST agents, review the rationalization of enzyme-substrate pairs as CEST contrast enhancers, discuss the theoretical considerations to improve peptide selectivity, specificity and enhance CEST contrast. Moreover, we discuss the strong influence of synthetic biology on the development of the next generation of protein-based CEST contrast agents.

Abstract
Nanomaterials play an important role in the development and application of hyperpolarized materials for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this context they can not only act as hyperpolarized materials which are directly imaged but also play a role as carriers for hyperpolarized gases and catalysts for para-hydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) to generate hyperpolarized substrates for metabolic imaging. Those three application possibilities are discussed, focusing on carbon-based materials for the directly imaged particles. An overview over recent developments in all three fields is given, including the early developments in each field as well as important steps towards applications in MRI, such as making the initially developed methods more biocompatible and first imaging experiments with spatial resolution in either phantoms or in vivo studies. Focusing on the important features nanomaterials need to display to be applicable in the MRI context, a wide range of different approaches to that extent is covered, giving the reader a general idea of different possibilities as well as recent developments in those different fields of hyperpolarized magnetic resonance. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging.

Abstract
Protein interiors contain void space that can bind small gas molecules. Determination of gas pathways and kinetics in proteins has been an intriguing and challenging task. Here, we combined computational methods and the hyperpolarized xenon-129 chemical exchange saturation transfer (hyper-CEST) NMR technique to investigate xenon (Xe) exchange kinetics in maltose-binding protein (MBP). A salt bridge ∼9 Å from the Xe-binding site formed upon maltose binding and slowed the Xe exchange rate, leading to a hyper-CEST 129Xe signal from maltose-bound MBP. Xe dissociation occurred faster than dissociation of the salt bridge, as shown by 13C NMR spectroscopy and variable-B1 hyper-CEST experiments. "Xe flooding" molecular dynamics simulations identified a surface hydrophobic site, V23, that has good Xe binding affinity. Mutations at this site confirmed its role as a secondary exchange pathway in modulating Xe diffusion. This shows the possibility for site-specifically controlling xenon protein-solvent exchange. Analysis of the available MBP structures suggests a biological role of MBP's large hydrophobic cavity to accommodate structural changes associated with ligand binding and protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
A serious limitation of high resolution 129Xe chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) NMR spectroscopy for comparing competitive host-guest interactions from different samples is the long acquisition time due to step-wise encoding of the chemical shift dimension. A method of optimized use of 129Xe spin magnetization to enable the accelerated and simultaneous acquisition of CEST spectra from multiple samples or regions in a setup is described. The method is applied to investigate the host-guest system of commercially available cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) and xenon with competing guests: cis-1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane, cadaverine, and putrescine. Interactions with the different guests prove that the observed CEST signal is from a CB6 impurity and that CB7 itself does not produce a CEST signal. Instead, rapid interactions between xenon and CB7 manifest in the spectrum as a broad saturation response that could be suppressed by cis-1,4-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane. This guest prevents interactions at the CB7 portals. The suggested method represents a type of spectroscopic imaging that is capable of capturing the exchange kinetics information of systems that otherwise suffer from shortened T2 times and yields multiple spectra for comparing exchange conditions with a reduction of >95% in acquisition time. The spectral quality is sufficient to perform quantitative analysis and quantifications relative to a CB6 standard as well as relative to a known blocker concentration (putrescine) that both reveal an unexpectedly high CB6 impurity of ca. 8%.

Abstract
The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) in the clinical setting enables the acquisition of valuable anatomical information in a rapid, non-invasive fashion. However, MRI applications for identifying disease-related biomarkers are limited due to low sensitivity at clinical magnetic field strengths. The development of hyperpolarized (hp) 129Xe MRI/MRS techniques as complements to traditional 1H-based imaging has been a burgeoning area of research over the past two decades. Pioneering experiments have shown that hp 129Xe can be encapsulated within host molecules to generate ultrasensitive biosensors. In particular, xenon has high affinity for cryptophanes, which are small organic cages that can be functionalized with affinity tags, fluorophores, solubilizing groups, and other moieties to identify biomedically relevant analytes. Cryptophane sensors designed for proteins, metal ions, nucleic acids, pH, and temperature have achieved nanomolar-to-femtomolar limits of detection via a combination of 129Xe hyperpolarization and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) techniques. This review aims to summarize the development of cryptophane biosensors for 129Xe MRI applications, while highlighting innovative biosensor designs and the consequent enhancements in detection sensitivity, which will be invaluable in expanding the scope of 129Xe MRI.

Abstract
Spin exchange between different chemical environments is an important observable for characterizing chemical exchange kinetics in various contexts, including protein folding, chelation chemistry, and host-guest interactions. Such spins experience effective spin-spin relaxation rate, R 2,eff, that typically shows a dispersive behavior which requires detailed analysis. Here, we describe a class of highly simplified R 2,eff behavior by relying on hyperpolarized 129Xe as a freely exchanging ligand reporter. It provides large chemical shift separations that yield reduced expressions of both the Swift-Connick and the Carver-Richards treatment of exchange-induced relaxation. Despite observing a diamagnetic system, R 2,eff is dominated by large Larmor frequency jumps and thus allows detection of otherwise inaccessible analyte concentrations with a single spin echo train (only 0.01% of the overall hyperpolarized spins need to be transiently bound to the molecule). The two Xe hosts cryptophane-A monoacid (CrA-ma) and cucurbit[6]uril (CB6) represent two exemplary families of container molecules (the latter one also serving as drug delivery vehicles) that act as highly efficient phase shifters for which we observed unprecedented exchange-induced relaxivity r 2 (up to 866 s-1 mM-1). By including methods of spatial encoding, multiple data points can be collected simultaneously to isolate the exchange contribution and determine the effective exchange rate in partially occupied binding sites with a single delivery of hyperpolarized nuclei. The relaxivity is directly related to the guest turnover in these systems and temperature-dependent measurements yield an activation energy of E A = 41 kJ mol-1 for Xe@CrA-ma from simple relaxometry analysis. The concept is transferable to many applications where Xe is known to exhibit large chemical shifts.

Abstract
Hyperpolarized noble gases have been used early on in applications for sensitivity enhanced NMR. 129Xe has been explored for various applications because it can be used beyond the gas-driven examination of void spaces. Its solubility in aqueous solutions and its affinity for hydrophobic binding pockets allows "functionalization" through combination with host structures that bind one or multiple gas atoms. Moreover, the transient nature of gas binding in such hosts allows the combination with another signal enhancement technique, namely chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). Different systems have been investigated for implementing various types of so-called Xe biosensors where the gas binds to a targeted host to address molecular markers or to sense biophysical parameters. This review summarizes developments in biosensor design and synthesis for achieving molecular sensing with NMR at unprecedented sensitivity. Aspects regarding Xe exchange kinetics and chemical engineering of various classes of hosts for an efficient build-up of the CEST effect will also be discussed as well as the cavity design of host molecules to identify a pool of bound Xe. The concept is presented in the broader context of reporter design with insights from other modalities that are helpful for advancing the field of Xe biosensors.

Abstract
Dysregulation of cellular ribose uptake can be indicative of metabolic abnormalities or tumorigenesis. However, analytical methods are currently limited for quantifying ribose concentration in complex biological samples. Here, we utilize the highly specific recognition of ribose by ribose-binding protein (RBP) to develop a single-protein ribose sensor detectable via a sensitive NMR technique known as hyperpolarized 129Xe chemical exchange saturation transfer (hyper-CEST). We demonstrate that RBP, with a tunable ribose-binding site and further engineered to bind xenon, enables the quantitation of ribose over a wide concentration range (nM to mM). Ribose binding induces the RBP "closed" conformation, which slows Xe exchange to a rate detectable by hyper-CEST. Such detection is remarkably specific for ribose, with the minimal background signal from endogenous sugars of similar size and structure, for example, glucose or ribose-6-phosphate. Ribose concentration was measured for mammalian cell lysate and serum, which led to estimates of low-mM ribose in a HeLa cell line. This highlights the potential for using genetically encoded periplasmic binding proteins such as RBP to measure metabolites in different biological fluids, tissues, and physiologic states.

Abstract
Detection of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is limited by current bioanalytical methods. A protein complementation assay (PCA), split TEM-1 β-lactamase, interacts with xenon at the interface of the TEM-1 fragments. Reconstitution of TEM-1-promoted here by cFos/cJun leucine zipper interaction-gives rise to sensitive 129Xe NMR signal in bacterial cells.

Abstract
β-Lactam antibiotics are generally perceived as one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, and these small molecular compounds have saved millions of lives. However, upon clinical application of antibiotics, the β-lactamase secreted by pathogenic bacteria can lead to the gradual development of drug resistance. β-Lactamase is a hydrolase that can efficiently hydrolyze and destroy β-lactam antibiotics. It develops and spreads rapidly in pathogens, and the drug-resistant bacteria pose a severe threat to human health and development. As a result, detecting and inhibiting the activities of β-lactamase are of great value for the rational use of antibiotics and the treatment of infectious diseases. At present, many specific detection methods and inhibitors of β-lactamase have been developed and applied in clinical practice. In this Minireview, we describe the resistance mechanism of bacteria producing β-lactamase and further summarize the fluorogenic probes, inhibitors of β-lactamase, and their applications in the treatment of infectious diseases. It may be valuable to design fluorogenic probes with improved selectivity, sensitivity, and effectiveness to further identify the inhibitors for β-lactamases and eventually overcome bacterial resistance.

Abstract
Spin hyperpolarization techniques have enabled important advancements in preclinical and clinical MRI applications to overcome the intrinsic low sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance. Functionalized xenon biosensors represent one of these approaches. They combine two amplification strategies, namely, spin exchange optical pumping (SEOP) and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). The latter one requires host structures that reversibly bind the hyperpolarized noble gas. Different nanoparticle approaches have been implemented and have enabled molecular MRI with 129Xe at unprecedented sensitivity. This review gives an overview of the Xe biosensor concept, particularly how different nanoparticles address various critical aspects of gas binding and exchange, spectral dispersion for multiplexing, and targeted reporter delivery. As this concept is emerging into preclinical applications, comprehensive sensor design will be indispensable in translating the outstanding sensitivity potential into biomedical molecular imaging applications.
