We demonstrate the use of molecular dynamics and molecular mechanics methods to calculate properties and behavior of metal-chelate complexes that can be used as MRI contrast agents. Static and dynamic properties of several known agents were calculated and compared with experiment. We calculated the static properties such as the q-values (number of inner shell waters) and binding distances of chelate...
