A cyclic peptide containing one cysteine and five alternating tryptophan and arginine amino acids [(WR)<sub>5</sub>C] was synthesized using Fmoc/tBu solid-phase methodology. The ability of the synthesized cyclic peptide to produce gadolinium nanoparticles through an in situ one-pot mixing of an aqueous solution of GdCl<sub>3</sub> with [(WR)<sub>5</sub>C] peptide solution was evaluated. Transmission electron microscopy showed the formed peptide-Gd nanoparticles in star-shape morphology with a si ...[more]
