Abstract
Sensing methodologies for the detection of target compounds in mixtures are important in many different contexts, ranging from medical diagnosis to environmental analysis and quality assessment. Ideally, such detection methods should allow for both identification and quantification of the targets, minimizing the possibility of false positives. With very few exceptions, most of the available sensing techniques rely on the selective interaction of the analyte with some detector, which in turn produces a signal as a result of the interaction. This approach hence provides indirect information on the targets, whose identity is generally ensured by comparison with known standards, if available, or by the selectivity of the sensor system itself. Pursuing a different approach, NMR chemosensing aims at generating signals directly from the analytes, in the form of a (complete) NMR spectrum. In this way, not only are the targets unequivocally identified, but it also becomes possible to identify and assign the structures of unknown species. In this review we show how relaxation- and diffusion-based NMR techniques, assisted by appropriate nanoparticles, can be used to edit the 1H NMR spectrum of a mixture and extract the signals of specific target compounds. Monolayer-protected nanoparticles, in particular those made from gold, are well suited to this task because they provide a versatile, protein-size support to build or incorporate supramolecular receptors. Remarkably, the self-organized and multifunctional nature of the nanoparticle coating allows exploitation of different kinds of non-covalent interactions, to provide tailored binding sites for virtually any class of molecules. From the NMR standpoint, the reduced translational and rotational diffusion rates of bulky nanoparticles offer a way to manipulate the states of the monolayer spins and build a reservoir of magnetization that can be selectively transferred to the interacting analytes. In addition, the low correlation time and the enhanced rigidity of the coating molecules (due to their grafting and crowding on the particle surface) promote efficient spin diffusion, useful in saturation transfer experiments. The optimized combination of NMR experiments and nanoreceptors can ultimately allow the detection of relevant analytes in the micromolar concentration range, paving the way to applications in the diagnostic field and beyond.

Abstract
When dealing with trace analysis of complex mixtures, NMR suffers from both low sensitivity and signal overlap. NMR chemosensing, in which the association between an analyte and a receptor is "signaled" by an NMR response, has been proposed as a valuable analytical tool for biofluids and natural extracts. Such chemosensors offer the possibility to simultaneously detect and distinguish different analytes in solution, which makes them particularly suitable for analytical applications on complex mixtures. In this study, we have combined NMR chemosensing with nuclear spin hyperpolarization. This was realized using an iridium complex as a receptor in the presence of parahydrogen: association of the target analytes to the metal center results in approximately 1000-fold enhancement of the NMR response. This amplification allows the detection, identification, and quantification of analytes at low-micromolar concentrations, provided they can weakly associate to the iridium chemosensor. Here, our NMR chemosensing approach was applied to the quantitative determination of several flavor components in methanol extracts of ground coffee.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is seriously limited when aiming for visualization of targeted contrast agents. Images are reconstructed from the weak diamagnetic properties of the sample and require an abundant molecule like water as the reporter. Micromolar to millimolar concentrations of conventional contrast agents are needed to generate image contrast, thus excluding many molecular markers as potential targets. To address this limitation, we developed and characterized a functional xenon NMR biosensor that can identify a specific cell surface marker by targeted (129)Xe MRI. Cells expressing the cell surface protein CD14 can be spatially distinguished from control cells with incorporation of as little as 20 nM of the xenon MRI readout unit, cryptophane-A. Cryptophane-A serves as a chemical host for hyperpolarized nuclei and facilitates the sensitivity enhancement achieved by xenon MRI. Although this paper describes the application of a CD14-specific biosensor, the construct has been designed in a versatile, modular fashion. This allows for quick and easy adaptation of the biosensor to any cell surface target for which there is a specific antibody. In addition, the modular design facilitates the creation of a multifunctional probe that incorporates readout modules for different detection methods, such as fluorescence, to complement the primary MRI readout. This modular antibody-based approach not only offers a practical technique with which to screen targets, but one which can be readily applied as the xenon MRI field moves closer to molecular imaging applications in vivo.
