Abstract:Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic receptors that mimic the specificity of biological antibody–antigen interactions. By using a “lock and key” process, MIPs selectively bind to target molecules that were used as templates during polymerization. While MIPs are typically prepared using conventional monomers, such as methacrylic acid and acrylamide, contemporary advancements have pivoted towards the functional potential of dopamine as a novel monomer. The overreaching goal of the proposed review … Show more
“…Phenyl groups offering π–π interactions, amines, and hydroxyl groups can help in the formation of hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions, and the ethyl and phenyl groups help to bind via hydrophobic interactions. Overall, it is found from computational studies that dopamine is a suitable monomer for protein imprinting; however, non-specific interactions could lead to poor imprinting factors (0.82) due to comparable binding with NIP as well 49 (Fig. 3).…”
