The selectivity of a molecularly inprinted polymer (MIP) was substantially enhanced by inactivating the non-specific binding sites distributed within the polymer. Treatment of the polymer with varying amounts of methyl iodide in the presence of the template molecule resulted in stronger binding of the template and more effective separation from similar steroids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
