Molecularly-Imprinted Material for Dibenzothiophene Recognition Prepared by Surface Imprinting Methods

Surface molecularly imprinted nanowire for protein specific recognition.

A surface molecularly imprinted nanowire is designed by chemical polymerization of dopamine in neutral aqueous solution, which shows high binding capacity and acceptable specific recognition behavior towards template proteins.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymer for Serotonin Recognition

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a biogenic amine that acts as a neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems [1]. It is present in a variety of organisms, ranging from humans to species such as worms that have primitive nervous systems [2], and mediates a variety of physiological responses in distinct cell types. It is believed to play a role in the regulation of various co...

Molecularly imprinted polymers prepared using protein-conjugated cleavable monomers followed by site-specific post-imprinting introduction of fluorescent reporter molecules.

Molecularly imprinted polymers were prepared using a protein-conjugated disulfide cleavable monomer. After removing the protein by disulfide reduction, a thiol-reactive fluorophore was introduced into the thiol residue located only inside the imprinted cavity, resulting in specific transduction of the binding events into fluorescence spectral change.

Productive encounter: molecularly imprinted nanoparticles prepared using magnetic templates.

Synthesis of core-shell nanoparticles by surface initiated reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization in presence of a chiral template conjugated to magnetic nanoparticles is reported. The approach leads to imprinted nanoparticles featuring enantioselectivity and enhanced affinity compared to nanoparticles prepared using free template.
