Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are promising for precise protein separation and purification. However, challenges persist due to their large size, variable configuration, and instability during preparation. Here, a simple silicon self-assembly program was designed to synthesize MIPs without any organic reagents and acid-base catalysis, avoiding the structural damage of protein under severe conditions. In this method, employing hemoglobin (Hb) as a model protein, with tween-20 in emulsification, and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the cross-linking agent, along with co-functional monomers 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and benzyl(triethoxy)silane (BnTES), enhanced binding efficacy was achieved. Successful imprinting was evidenced through surface morphology observation and physical/chemical property evaluations of the synthesized MIPs. A series of adsorption experiments were performed to investigate the recognition performance of Hb-MIPs. The Hb-MIPs not only exhibited large adsorption capacity (400 μg/mg) and good imprinting factor (6.09) toward template protein, but also showed satisfactory selectivity for reference proteins. Five cycles of adsorption proved that the Hb-MIPs had good reusability. In addition, the successful isolation of HB from bovine blood indicated that Hb-MIPs were an excellent separation and purification material. The mild preparation conditions and good adsorption capacity demonstrated the potential value of this method in separation and purification research.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic polymers that mimic the functions of antibodies. Though MIPs are promising tools in various areas, achieving high selectivity in MIPs can be difficult. To improve selectivity, various approaches have been implemented; however, the role of polymerization methods or synthetic techniques in enhancing the selectivity of MIPs has not been studied and remains a crucial area for further research. MIPs are typically prepared from free radical reactions. Recently, we found that Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) plasma can be used to initiate the polymerization of vinyl monomers. The DBD plasma method allows the monomers to associate with the template molecules and initiate polymerization with minimal disruption to the positioning of the monomers. We hypothesize that this could be a preferred method to prepare MIPs over the traditional radical reaction that may cause a disturbance of the pre-associated monomers on the templates for the polymerization. Chicken egg white serum albumin (CESA) was used as the template protein for the MIPs. Our results show that in all test conditions, approximately twofold improvement in selectivity was achieved, which is the primary performance metric for MIPs. This enhancement was evident across all categories, including MIPs prepared from various monomer combinations.

Abstract
Over the past decades, the proteomics field has undergone rapid growth. Progress in mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, together with separation methods, has brought many innovative approaches to the study of the molecular biology of the cell. The potential of affinity chromatography was recognized immediately after its first application in proteomics, and since that time, it has become one of the cornerstones of many proteomic protocols. Indeed, this chromatographic technique exploiting the specific binding between two molecules has been employed for numerous purposes, from selective removal of interfering (over)abundant proteins or enrichment of scarce biomarkers in complex biological samples to mapping the post-translational modifications and protein interactions with other proteins, nucleic acids or biologically active small molecules. This review presents a comprehensive survey of this versatile analytical tool in current proteomics. To navigate the reader, the haphazard space of affinity separations is classified according to the experiment's aims and the separated molecule's nature. Different types of available ligands and experimental strategies are discussed in further detail for each of the mentioned procedures.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131132. [PMID: 38531529 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is an essential biomacromolecule in the blood circulatory system because it carries numerous molecules, including fatty acids (FAs), bilirubin, metal ions, hormones, and different pharmaceuticals, and plays a significant role in regulating blood osmotic pressure. Fluctuations in HSA levels in human biofluids, particularly urine and serum, are associated with several disorders, such as elevated blood pressure, diabetes mellitus (DM), liver dysfunction, and a wide range of renal diseases. Thus, the ability to quickly and accurately measure HSA levels is important for the rapid identification of these disorders in human populations. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), well known as artificial antibodies (Abs), have been extensively used for the quantitative detection of small molecules and macromolecules, especially HSA, in recent decades. This review highlights major challenges and recent developments in the application of MIPs to detect HSA in artificial and real samples. The fabrication and application of various MIPs for the depletion of HSA are also discussed, as well as different MIP preparation approaches and strategies for overcoming obstacles that hinder the development of MIPs with high efficiency and recognition capability for HSA determination/depletion.

Abstract
Inspired by the anisotropic structure of biological tissues, anisotropic hydrogels have been developed using various nanofillers, however, it remains a big challenge to synthesize hydrogels with large swelling anisotropy. Herein a single molecule filler, α-helical polypeptide, instead of nanoscale fillers, was used to synthesize anisotropic hydrogels. First nematic liquid crystal of poly(γ-benzyl l-glutamate) (PBLG) was prepared by shearing and stabilized by embedding in a crosslinked polymer matrix. The resulting PBLG composite gels were then converted to poly(L-glutamic acid) (PLGA) composite gels by debenzylation. The rigid rod-like structure of α-helical PBLG chains makes them easy to be orientated. The pH-sensitivity of PLGA makes the resulting composite gels pH-sensitive without the need to couple with a stimuli-responsive hydrogel matrix. In response to pH change PLGA composite gels swell anisotropically with a much larger swelling degree in the radial direction than in the axial direction. The swelling anisotropy (3.43) is much higher than most anisotropic hydrogels, particularly the stimuli-responsive ones reported previously. The composite gel also exhibits anisotropic mechanical properties with a larger Young's modulus in the axial direction than that in the radial direction. Preliminary test demonstrated that the composite gels have potential in embolotherapy thanks to its large pH-triggered anisotropic swelling. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Anisotropic hydrogels have important biomedical applications. Introduction of oriented nanofillers has been demonstrated a popular and versatile method for their synthesis, however, it remains a big challenge to achieve large swelling anisotropy. Herein a single molecule filler, α-helical polypeptide, instead of nanoscale fillers, was used to synthesize anisotropic hydrogels. This filler can be easily oriented by shearing. More importantly, as single molecule filler, it can constrain the swelling of hydrogel matrix more effectively. Using this filler, a pH-sensitive hydrogel with large swelling anisotropy (3.43) was successfully synthesized. Thanks to its large pH-triggered anisotropic swelling the hydrogel was successfully used as embolic agent to occlude vessels.

Abstract
Efficient separation and purification of hemoglobin from blood and other complicated biological fluids still remains a big challenge. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) of hemoglobin are potential choices; however, they suffer from severe problems including difficult template removal and low imprinting efficiency like other protein-imprinted polymers. Herein, a novel MIP of bovine hemoglobin (BHb) was designed in which a peptide crosslinker (PC), instead of the commonly used crosslinkers, was used. The PC, a random copolymer of lysine and alanine, adopts an α-helical conformation at pH 10 but transits to a random coil conformation at pH 5. The introduction of alanine residues lowers the pH range at which the PC undergoes helix-coil transition. The imprint cavities in the polymers are shape-memorable due to the reversible and precise helix-coil transition of the peptide segments in the polymers. They can be enlarged by lowering pH from 10 to 5, thus allowing complete removal of the template protein under mild conditions. When the pH is adjusted back to 10, their original size and shape will be recovered. Therefore, the MIP binds the template protein BHb with high affinity. Compared with the MIP crosslinked with the commonly used crosslinker, the imprinting efficiency of the PC-crosslinked MIP is significantly improved. In addition, both the maximum adsorption capacity (641.9 mg/g) and imprinting factor (7.2) are much higher than the BHb MIPs reported previously. The new BHb MIP also exhibits high selectivity toward BHb and good reusability. Thanks to the high adsorption capacity and high selectivity of the MIP, when it was applied to extract BHb from bovine blood, BHb in the blood sample was extracted almost completely, and high purity product was obtained.

Abstract
One of the primary purposes of proteomic studies is to analyze the proteins in the blood to be considered as biomarkers. Albumin, which constitutes the majority of total serum proteins, complicates the discovery of low-density proteins that are important for the diagnosis of diseases. Based on this, an alternative approach for albumin depletion was developed in this study by covalently attached Cibacron Blue 3GA (CB) to magnetic microcryogels. After detailed characterization of CB attached magnetic microcryogels synthesized via a microstencil array chip, albumin adsorption studies were performed to examine the optimum depletion conditions. In the presented study, the maximum albumin adsorption capacity (Qmax) was calculated as 149.25 mg/mL in pH 5.0 acetate buffer solution, which is the optimum pH value for albumin. Experimental studies have demonstrated that CB-attached magnetic microcryogels can be reused without loss of performance for albumin depletion after 10 adsorption-desorption cycles.

Abstract
Low-cost and highly effective methods are highly desirable to replace the costly ethanol fractionation and affinity chromatography in IgG isolation from human plasma. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) of IgG are potential candidates, however, they still suffer from severe problems such as difficult template removal and low imprinting efficiency. Here, a recently developed strategy was adopted to overcome these problems. The MIPs were synthesized using poly(L-glutamic acid) (PLGA) peptide crosslinkers instead of commonly used crosslinkers, such as N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS). Because of the pH-induced helix-coil transition and the precise folding of the peptide segments in the polymers, the imprint cavities can be enlarged by adjusting the pH from 5.0 to 7.0, but their original size and shape are restored when the pH is adjusted back. Therefore, the IgG template can be eluted completely under mild conditions, and significantly improved imprinting efficiency can be achieved. Compared with BIS-crosslinked MIP, 8.6 times more binding sites can be created by molecular imprinting PLGA-crosslinked MIP. The factors influencing the performance of the MIP were studied systematically. An optimized MIP with a high adsorption capacity (612.5 mg g-1), high IF (4.92), and high selectivity was obtained. The adsorption capacity and selectivity of the MIP are much higher than the previously reported IgG MIPs. Because of its high adsorption capacity and selectivity, it can separate IgG from human serum effectively, affording high purity products.

Abstract
As the changes of biomarkers directly reflect the occurrence of degenerative diseases, accurate detection of biomarkers is of great significance for disease diagnosis and control. However, single index detection has high uncertainties to accurately reflect the pathological characteristics because of the complexity of the human internal environment and the extremely trace concentration of indicators. To this end, a method for simultaneous detection of dual-biomarkers based on anti-interference magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (D-mag-MIPs) is thereby proposed, and successfully applied in human urine analysis for the detection of Parkinson's disease bio-indicators 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and dopamine (DA). In this work, carboxyl functionalized ferric oxide served as a magnetic core, laying a solid foundation for batch detection. Hyperbranched polyethylenimine, whose abundant amino groups can provide multiple interaction forces to templates with high affinity, is employed as a functional monomer. Relative to single-template MIPs, D-mag-MIPs achieve the detection of dual bio-indicators in a one-time test, reducing the false positive result probability and enhancing the detection accuracy. The proposed methodology has been evaluated to exhibit good anti-interference, satisfactory precision, low detection limits, wide linear ranges and fast batch detection for DA and DOPAC. This work thus offers an alternative and efficient pathway for convenient batch detection of dual bio-indicators from biofluids at once.

Abstract
Boronic acids can reversibly bind diols, a molecular feature that is ubiquitous within saccharides, leading to their use in the design and implementation of sensors for numerous saccharide species. There is a growing understanding of the importance of saccharides in many biological processes and systems; while saccharide or carbohydrate sensing in medicine is most often associated with detection of glucose in diabetes patients, saccharides have proven to be relevant in a range of disease states. Herein the relevance of carbohydrate sensing for biomedical applications is explored, and this review seeks to outline how the complexity of saccharides presents a challenge for the development of selective sensors and describes efforts that have been made to understand the underpinning fluorescence and binding mechanisms of these systems, before outlining examples of how researchers have used this knowledge to develop ever more selective receptors.
