Abstract:
A simplified approach for preparation of sandwich type molecularly imprinted polymers (PPDA-MIPs) is proposed for simultaneously identify Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and dispose "bad cholesterol". Porous polydopamine nanosphere (PPDA) is applied as a matrix for immobilization of LDL, and the imprinted layer is formed by dopamine acting as a functional monomer. Since imprinted cavities exhibit shape memory effects in terms of recognizing selectivity, the PPDA-MIPs exhibit excellent selectivity toward LDL and a substantial binding capacity of 550.3 μg mg-1. Meanwhile, six adsorption/desorption cycles later, the adsorption efficiency of 83.09 % is still achieved, indicating the adequate stability and reusability of PPDA-MIPs. Additionally, over 80 % of cholesterol is recovered, indicating the completeness of "bad cholesterol" removal in LDL. Lastly, as demonstrated by gel electrophoresis, PPDA-MIPs performed satisfactory behavior for the removal of LDL from the goat serum sample.
