Journal ArticleDOI
Electrochemical Sensor for Catechol and Dopamine Based on a Catalytic Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-Conducting Polymer Hybrid Recognition Element
Dhana Lakshmi,Alessandra Bossi,Michael J. Whitcombe,Iva Chianella,Steven A. Fowler,Sreenath Subrahmanyam,Elena V. Piletska,Sergey A. Piletsky +7 more
TL;DR: The preparation and characterization of novel hybrid materials combining a catalytic MIP, capable of oxidizing the template, catechol, with an electrically conducting polymer, and the catalytic properties of the sensor were characterized by chronoamperometry and were found to be consistent with Michaelis-Menten kinetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface-Grafted Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Protein Recognition
TL;DR: Easy preparation of the MIPs, their high stability, and their ability to recognize small and large proteins, as well as to discriminate molecules with small variations in charge, make this approach attractive and broadly applicable in biotechnology, assays and sensors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solid-Phase Synthesis of Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanoparticles with a Reusable Template - "Plastic Antibodies".
Alessandro Poma,Antonio Guerreiro,Michael J. Whitcombe,Elena V. Piletska,Anthony Turner,Sergey A. Piletsky +5 more
TL;DR: This work reports a reusable solid-phase template approach (fully compatible with automation) for the synthesis of MIP nanoparticles and their precise manufacture using a prototype automated UV photochemical reactor and demonstrates the reliable re-use of molecular templates in the synthesisof MIPs for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recognition of ephedrine enantiomers by molecularly imprinted polymers designed using a computational approach
Sergey A. Piletsky,Khalku Karim,Elena V. Piletska,C. J. Day,K. W. Freebairn,Coulton Heath Legge,Anthony Turner +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a virtual library of functional monomers was developed and screened against the template using molecular modelling software, and the monomers giving the highest binding score were co-polymerized with a crosslinker in the presence of ephedrine.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to find effective functional monomers for effective molecularly imprinted polymers
Kal Karim,Florent Breton,Régis Rouillon,Elena V. Piletska,Antonio Guerreiro,Iva Chianella,Sergey A. Piletsky +6 more
TL;DR: This review covers work developed in understanding molecular imprinting mechanisms and presents different strategies utilised in optimising MIP design.
