Molecular Recognition Effects in Atomistic Models of Imprinted Polymers

Molecular Recognition Effects in Atomistic Models of Imprinted Polymers

In this article we present a model for molecularly imprinted polymers, which considers both complexation processes in the pre-polymerization mixture and adsorption in the imprinted structures within a single consistent framework. As a case study we investigate MAA/EGDMA polymers imprinted with pyrazine and pyrimidine. A polymer imprinted with pyrazine shows substantial selectivity towards pyraz...

Molecular Imprinted Polymers: A Review

Chemical recognition in cell-imprinted polymers.

A glass slide covered with bacteria is pressed into another glass slide coated with partially cured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The PDMS is hardened and the cells are removed to create a textured surface whose indentations preferentially capture the same type of bacteria when a mixture of bacteria is flowed over it. Overcoating the cell-imprinted PDMS with methylsilane groups causes the result...

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for the Selective Recognition of Proteins

Title of dissertation: MOLECULARLY IMPRINTED POLYMERS FOR THE SELECTIVE RECOGNITION OF PROTEINS Daniel S. Janiak, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Dissertation directed by: Professor Peter Kofinas Fischell Department of Bioengineering Molecular imprinting is a technique used to synthesize polymers that display selective recognition for a given template molecule of interest. In this study, the role of...

Supramolecular recognition of estrogens via molecularly imprinted polymers

The isolation and preconcentration of estrogens from new types of biological samples (acellular and protein-free simulated body fluid) by molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction has been described. In this technique, supramolecular receptors, namely molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are used as a sorbent material. The recognition sites of MIPs were prepared by non-covalent multiple int...
