Surface molecularly imprinted nanowire for protein specific recognition

摘要

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.rnMolecular imprinting technology is one of the most promising approaches towards both rapidly and inexpensively producing biomimetic materials for applications in material science, molecular devices, separation science, catalysis and biomedical fields, especially in molecular recognition. The imprinting of small organic or biomolecules such as drugs, steroids, sugars, amino acids and peptides is now well achieved and the resulting molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been considered as routine.
