title: Gadolinium-binding cyclic hexapeptoids: synthesis and relaxometric properties.
abstract: Two new cyclic hexapeptoids incorporating N-carboxyethylglycine and N-methoxyethylglycine residues are able to efficiently bind Gd(3+). Their thermodynamic stabilities and relaxivities have been assessed by (1)H-relaxometric investigations.
