“…42,[1243][1244][1245][1246][1247] The use of polyurethane to imprint larger chemical/biochemical entities has been detailed by the group, using combinations of QCM analyses with atomic force microscopy to examine cell/polyurethane 'impression' interactions. [1248][1249][1250] By creating an imprinted polymer layer bound to the surface of silica beads, Hirayama and co-workers 763 succeeded in creating a QCM sensor with specificity for the enzyme lysozyme, again demonstrating the applicability of this technology to larger chemical species than the smaller organic molecules typically used in imprinting protocols. 764 Smaller biochemicals, however, such as AMP, 703 peptides 1251 and amino acids, 1252 are more typical templates.…”
