Area of Science:

  • Biomolecular Engineering
  • Surface Chemistry
  • Biosensor Technology

Background:

  • Developing artificial recognition sites on biosensor surfaces is crucial for selective molecular detection.
  • Existing methods for creating molecularly imprinted monolayers (MIMs) face challenges with template molecules exhibiting low binding affinities.
  • Gold optical biosensors require robust surface chemistries for stable and selective imprinting.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new two-step methodology for preparing thiol monolayers with artificial recognition sites.
  • To investigate the impact of template concentration and backfilling conditions on imprinting efficiency.
  • To demonstrate improved imprinting flexibility for template molecules with low binding energies on gold surfaces.

Main Methods:

  • A two-step approach involving template deposition followed by thiol monolayer formation (backfilling).
  • Utilizing Nepsilon-Dansyl-L-lysine (DK) as the template molecule for molecularly imprinted monolayers (MIMs).
  • Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) spectroscopy for rebinding studies and selectivity assessment.

Main Results:

  • The two-step method allows for imprinting template molecules with low binding energies on gold.
  • Optimized conditions provide control over the surface density of imprinting sites.
  • MIMs prepared using this method demonstrated selective binding for DK over didansyl-L-lysine.

Conclusions:

  • The novel two-step methodology offers enhanced flexibility and control in creating molecularly imprinted monolayers.
  • This approach is particularly beneficial for imprinting molecules with weak interactions on gold biosensor surfaces.
  • The developed MIMs exhibit specific recognition capabilities, paving the way for improved biosensor applications.
