Area of Science:

  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Biotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic receptors with tailored recognition properties.
  • Developing selective MIPs for complex biomolecules like proteins remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a facile method for creating protein-specific MIPs on microplate surfaces.
  • To investigate factors influencing MIP imprinting and template recognition.

Main Methods:

  • Polymerization of 3-aminophenylboronic acid in the presence of protein templates (microperoxidase, horseradish peroxidase, lactoperoxidase, hemoglobin) using ammonium persulfate oxidation.
  • Grafting a thin polymer layer onto polystyrene microplate wells.
  • Analysis of washing procedures, template concentration, and buffer pH on polymer affinity.

Main Results:

  • Successful imprinting of MIPs with increased affinity for specific protein templates.
  • Identification of support stabilization and polymer chain orientation as key factors in imprinting.
  • Demonstrated ability of MIPs to recognize diverse proteins and discriminate based on charge.

Conclusions:

  • The developed MIP coating technique is easy to prepare and yields highly stable polymers.
  • The MIPs exhibit broad applicability for recognizing small and large proteins in assays and sensors.
  • This approach offers a promising platform for advanced biotechnological applications.
