Protein-size molecularly imprinted polymer nanogels as synthetic antibodies, by localized polymerization with multi-initiators.
A new approach is proposed for the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) (synthetic antibodies) as soluble nanogels with sizes close to the size of real antibodies. To imprint a molecular memory in particles consisting of only a few polymer chains, an initiator carrying multiple iniferter moieties is used. This allows for the simultaneous initiation of several polymer chains, and y...
متن کاملImprinted nanogels as biomimetic catalysts
The term ‘biomimetic’ is commonly used to describe instances in which a chemical process imitates a biochemical reaction and has attracted considerable interest as more and more scientists study Nature’s phenomena and mechanisms. The design and synthesis of catalytic systems capable of mimicking enzyme’s activity while overcoming some of the protein’s inherent limitations is an important challe...
متن کاملA pH-responsive, low crosslinked, molecularly imprinted insulin delivery system
A new type of insulin delivery system capable of better self-regulating the release of insulin was reported in this study. This insulin delivery system was made of a low crosslinked insulin-imprinted hydrogel that exhibited pH-dependent interpolymer interactions between poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). At acidic conditions (such as pH 3.5), this delivery system res...
متن کاملMolecularly Imprinted Biodegradable Nanoparticles
Biodegradable polymer nanoparticles are promising carriers for targeted drug delivery in nanomedicine applications. Molecu- lar imprinting is a potential strategy to target polymer nanoparticles through binding of endogenous ligands that may promote recognition and active transport into specific cells and tissues. However, the lock-and-key mechanism of molecular imprinting requires relatively r...
متن کاملProtein crystallization facilitated by molecularly imprinted polymers.
We present a previously undescribed initiative and its application, namely the design of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for producing protein crystals that are essential for determining high-resolution 3D structures of proteins. MIPs, also referred to as "smart materials," are made to contain cavities capable of rebinding protein; thus the fingerprint of the protein created on the polyme...
