Food Chem 2024; 453:139626. [PMID: 38759440 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139626] [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: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
Ethyl carbamate (EC) is a carcinogen widely found in the fermentation process of Baijiu. Herein, we construct a molecularly imprinted polymers/MXene/cobalt (II) based zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (MIP/MXene/ZIF-67) nano-enzyme sensor for the detection of EC during Baijiu production. The ZIF-67 is synthesized in situ on the MXene nanosheets to provide a superior catalytic activity to H2O2 and amplify the electrochemical signal. The MIP is prepared by the polymerization reaction to recognize EC. Owing to the interaction between EC and EC-MIP, the interferences are effectively eliminated, greatly improving the accuracy of the expected outcome. This approach attains an ultrasensitive assay of EC ranging from 8.9 μg/L to 44.5 mg/L with detection limit of 0.405 μg/L. The accuracy of this method is confirmed by the recovery experiment with good recoveries from 95.07% to 107.41%. This method is applied in natural EC analyses, and the results are consistent with certified gas chromatograph- mass spectrometer.

Carbonized polymer dots-based molecular imprinting: An adsorbent with enhanced selectivity for highly efficient recognition and removal of ceftiofur sodium from complex samples. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 473:134637. [PMID: 38772112 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024]
Abstract
Highly selective removal of residual cephalosporin antibiotics from complex systems is crucial for human health and ecological environment protection. Herein, a newly molecularly imprinted polymer adsorbent (CPDs-NH2@MIP) with enhanced selectivity for ceftiofur sodium (CTFS) was developed by using the special carbonized polymer dots (CPDs-NH2) as functional monomer. The CPDs-NH2 has a nano-spherical structure and functionalized groups (CC, -NH2) via the incomplete carbonization polymerization of citric acid, acrylamide and ethylenediamine, which can accurately interact with CTFS by overcoming steric hindrance, resulting in more precisely imprinted sites and reducing non-imprinted regions in MIP. The presented CPDs-NH2@MIP exhibited excellent adsorption capacity for CTFS (68.62 mg g-1), achieving equilibrium within 10 min, and highly selectivity in mixed solution containing five coexisting substances, with an imprinted factor (5.61). Compared with commercial adsorbents and MIPs prepared with traditional chain functional monomers, the CPDs-NH2@MIP showed significant advantage in selective recognition and separation of target. Analysis of microstructure and mechanism proved that usage of the spherical functional monomer generated precise imprinting sites and dense structure in CPDs-NH2@MIP, which effectively enhanced the selectivity in complex system combined with hydrogen bonding interaction. The idea of designing and using spherical functional monomer will promote the practicality of molecularly imprinted polymer adsorbents.

Abstract
Conventional molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) perform their functions principally depended on their three dimensional (3D) imprinted cavities (recognition sites) of templates. Here, retaining the function of recognition sites resulted from the imprinting of template molecules, the role of functional monomers is explored and expanded. Briefly, a class of dual-functional renin imprinted poly(methyldopa) (RMIP) is prepared, consisting of a drug-type function monomer (methyldopa, clinical high blood pressure drug) and a corresponding disease biomarker (renin, biomarker for high blood pressure disease). To boost target-to-receptor binding ratio and sensitivity, the microstructure of recognition sites is beforehand calculated and designed by Density Functional Theory calculations, and the whole interfacial structure, property and thickness of RMIP film is regulated by adjusting the polymerization techniques. The dual-functional applications of RMIP for biomarker detection and disease therapy in vivo is explored. Such RMIP-based biosensors achieves highly sensitive biomarker detection, where the LODs reaches down to 1.31 × 10-6 and 1.26 × 10-6 ng mL-1 for electrochemical and chemical polymers, respectively, and the application for disease therapy in vivo has been verified where displays the obviously decreased blood pressure values of mice. No acute and long-term toxicity is found from the pathological slices, declaring the promising clinical application potential of such engineered RMIP nanostructure.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a commensal organism found on the human skin, is commonly associated with nosocomial infections and exhibits virulence mediated by toxins and resistance to antibiotics. The global threat of antibiotic resistance has necessitated antimicrobial stewardship to improve the safe and appropriate use of antimicrobials; hence, there is an urgent demand for the advanced, cost-effective, and rapid detection of specific bacteria. In this regard, we aimed to selectively detect S. aureus using surface molecularly imprinted magnetic nanoparticles templated with a well-known biomarker protein A, specific to S. aureus. Herein, a highly selective surface molecularly imprinted polymeric thin layer was created on ∼250 nm magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) through the immobilization of protein A to aldehyde functionalized MNPs, followed by monomer polymerization and template washing. This study employs the rational selection of monomers based on their computationally predicted binding affinity to protein A at multiple surface residues. The resulting MIPs from rationally selected monomer combinations demonstrated an imprinting factor as high as ∼5. Selectivity studies revealed MIPs with four-fold higher binding capacity (BC) to protein A than other non-target proteins, such as lysozyme and serum albumin. In addition, it showed significant binding to S. aureus, whereas negligible binding to other non-specific Gram-negative, i.e. Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), and Gram-positive, i.e. Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis), bacteria. This MIP was employed for the capture and specific detection of fluorescently labeled S. aureus. Quantitative detection was performed using a conventional plate counting technique in a linear detection range of 101-107 bacterial cells. Remarkably, the MIPs also exhibited approximately 100% cell recovery from milk samples spiked with S. aureus (106 CFU mL-1), underscoring its potential as a robust tool for sensitive and accurate bacterial detection in dairy products. The developed MIP exhibiting high affinity and selective binding to protein A finds its potential applications in the magnetic capture and selective detection of protein A as well as S. aureus infections and contaminations.

Abstract
A molecularly imprinted electrochemiluminescent sensor is developed for the sensitive detection of tetracycline in environmental and food samples. The sensor uses an ionic liquid (i.e. [APMIM]Br) modified graphene-carbon nanotube composite (GMI) material as substrate, a double-layered core-shell metal-organic framework NH2-UiO-66@ZIF-8 (NUZ) loaded bipyridyl ruthenium (NUZ@Ru) as luminescent material, and a molecularly imprinted copolymer of o-phenylenediamine and hydroquinone as recognition element. The ionic liquid-modified graphene-carbon nanotube composite has a favorable three-dimensional structure, high specific surface area, and good hydrophilicity; the core-shell structured metal-organic framework has high stability and plentiful reaction sites for loading; the molecularly imprinted copolymer film has enhanced stability and recognition effect. Hence, the resulting sensor combines the merits of several materials and presents improved performance. Under the optimum detection conditions, it shows a wide linear range of 0.05 µM - 1 mM, a low detection limit of 20 nM, high selectivity, and excellent stability. It has been successfully applied to the detection of tetracycline in different samples.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting techniques have attracted a lot of attention as a potential biomimetic technology, but there are still challenges in protein imprinting. Herein, multifunctional nanosized molecularly imprinted polymers (nanoMIPs) for human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) were prepared by epitope imprinting of magnetic nanoparticles-anchored peptide (magNP-P) templates, which were further applied to construct a competitive displacement fluorescence assay toward ACE2. A cysteine-flanked dodecapeptide sequence was elaborately selected as an epitope for ACE2, which was immobilized onto the surface of magnetic nanoparticles and served as a magNP-P template for imprinting. During polymerization, fluorescent monomers were introduced to endow fluorescence responsiveness to the prepared self-signaling nanoMIPs. A competitive displacement fluorescence assay based on the nanoMIPs was established and operated in a washing-free manner, yielding a wide range for ACE2 (0.1-6.0 pg/mL) and a low detection limit (0.081 pg/mL). This approach offers a promising avenue in the preparation of nanoMIPs for macromolecule recognition and expands potential application of an MIP in the detection of proteins as well as peptides.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) synthesized from chain functional monomers are restricted by spatial extension and exhibit relatively poor affinity and selectivity; this results in unsatisfactory applications in complex media. In this study, we prepared unique spherical carbonized polymer dots (CPDs-OH) via the incomplete carbonization of 1-allyl-3-vinylimidazolium bromide and ethylene glycol, and used it as a functional monomer to prepare a newly imprinted polymer (CPDs-OH@MIP) in aqueous media. As a result, the CPDs-OH@MIP exhibited effective recognition of oxytetracycline with an impressive imprinting factor of 6.17, surpassing MIPs prepared with chain functional monomers (1-3). Furthermore, CPDs-OH@MIP exhibited excellent adsorption for oxytetracycline (278.52 mg g-1) and achieved equilibrium in 30 min, with stronger resistance to coexisting cations, anions, and humic acid. Compared to other MIPs and adsorbents, the recognition performance of CPDs-OH@MIP improved 2-4 times; this polymer could remove >92.1% of oxytetracycline in real water samples with at least 10 cycle times. CPDs-OH@MIP prepared using the special spherical monomer forms a denser structure with fewer nonimprinted regions and precisely imprinted sites, remarkably improving the affinity and selectivity of MIPs combined via hydrogen bonds and electrostatic and π-π interactions. Our proposed strategy provides an effective basis for breakthroughs in the practical application of MIPs.

Abstract
The VEGF-VEGFR2 (VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor) signaling has been a promising target in cancer therapy. However, because conventional anti-angiogenic therapeutics suffer from drawbacks, particularly severe side effects, novel anti-angiogenic strategies are much needed. Herein, we report the rational engineering of VEGF-targeted molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIP) for anti-angiogenic cancer therapy. The anti-VEGF nanomedicine was prepared via a state-of-the-art molecular imprinting approach using the N-terminal epitope of VEGF as the template. The nanoMIP could target the two major pro-angiogenic isoforms (VEGF165 and VEGF121) with high affinity and thereby effectively block the VEGF-VEGFR2 signaling, yielding a potent anti-angiogenic effect of "killing two birds with one stone". In vivo experiments demonstrated that the anti-VEGF nanoMIP effectively suppressed tumor growth via anti-angiogenesis in a xenograft model of human colon carcinoma without apparent side effects. Thus, this study not only proposes an unprecedented anti-angiogenic strategy for cancer therapy but also provides a new paradigm for the rational development of MIPs-based "drug-free" nanomedicines.

Abstract
Whole-cell bacteria imprinted polymer-based sensors still face challenges in the form of the difficulty of removing the template entirely, low affinity, and poor sensitivity. To further improve their performance, it is pivotal to modulate the morphology and chemical properties of imprintied polymer by taking advantage of doping engineering. Here we introduced D-tartaric acid (D-TA) as a dopant and employed pyrrole as a functional monomer to construct D-TA/polypyrrole (PPy)-based bacteria imprinted polymer (DPBIP) sensor for Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) detection. It is demonstrated that D-TA doping can synergistically accelerate the removal of template bacteria from imprinted polymers (1.5 h), improve bacteria affinity of imprinted sites (the recognition time of 30 min), and enhance the sensitivity of DPBIP sensor (a detection limit of 19 CFU mL-1). The DPBIP sensor had a linear range of 102∼106 CFU mL-1 and exhibited high selectivity and good repeatability. Moreover, a recovery of 94.8%-105.3% was achieved in drinking water and oyster samples. Therefore, small functional molecules doping opens a new avenue to engineering BIP-based sensors with high performance, holding potential applications in securing food safety.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have recently emerged as robust and versatile artificial receptors. MIP synthesis is carried out in liquid phase and optimized on planar surfaces. Application of MIPs to nanostructured materials is challenging due to diffusion-limited transport of monomers within the nanomaterial recesses, especially when the aspect ratio is >10. Here, the room temperature vapor-phase synthesis of MIPs in nanostructured materials is reported. The vapor phase synthesis leverages a >1000-fold increase in the diffusion coefficient of monomers in vapor phase, compared to liquid phase, to relax diffusion-limited transport and enable the controlled synthesis of MIPs also in nanostructures with high aspect ratio. As proof-of-concept application, pyrrole is used as the functional monomer thanks to its large exploitation in MIP preparation; nanostructured porous silicon oxide (PSiO2 ) is chosen to assess the vapor-phase deposition of PPy-based MIP in nanostructures with aspect ratio >100; human hemoglobin (HHb) is selected as the target molecule for the preparation of a MIP-based PSiO2 optical sensor. High sensitivity and selectivity, low detection limit, high stability and reusability are achieved in label-free optical detection of HHb, also in human plasma and artificial serum. The proposed vapor-phase synthesis of MIPs is immediately transferable to other nanomaterials, transducers, and proteins.

Abstract
Leveraging computation in the development of peptide therapeutics has garnered increasing recognition as a valuable tool to generate novel therapeutics for disease-related targets. To this end, computation has transformed the field of peptide design through identifying novel therapeutics that exhibit enhanced pharmacokinetic properties and reduced toxicity. The process of in-silico peptide design involves the application of molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and machine learning algorithms. Three primary approaches for peptide therapeutic design including structural-based, protein mimicry, and short motif design have been predominantly adopted. Despite the ongoing progress made in this field, there are still significant challenges pertaining to peptide design including: enhancing the accuracy of computational methods; improving the success rate of preclinical and clinical trials; and developing better strategies to predict pharmacokinetics and toxicity. In this review, we discuss past and present research pertaining to the design and development of in-silico peptide therapeutics in addition to highlighting the potential of computation and artificial intelligence in the future of disease therapeutics.

Abstract
Halogen bonding is a highly directional interaction and a potential tool in functional material design through self-assembly. Herein, we describe two fundamental supramolecular strategies to synthesize molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with halogen bonding-based molecular recognition sites. In the first method, the size of the σ-hole was increased by aromatic fluorine substitution of the template molecule, enhancing the halogen bonding in the supramolecule. The second method involved sandwiching hydrogen atoms of a template molecule between iodo substituents, which suppressed competing hydrogen bonding and enabled multiple recognition patterns, improving the selectivity. The interaction mode between the functional monomer and the templates was elucidated by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and computational simulation. Finally, we succeeded in the effective chromatographic separation of diiodobenzene isomers on the uniformly sized MIPs prepared by multi-step swelling and polymerization. The MIPs selectively recognized halogenated thyroid hormones via halogen bonding and could be applied to screening endocrine disruptors.

Abstract
The biological molecules used in the sandwich detection method have problems such as complex extraction processes, high costs, and uneven quality. Therefore we integrated glycoprotein molecularly controllable-oriented surface imprinted magnetic nanoparticles (GMC-OSIMN) and boric acid functionalized pyrite nanozyme probe (BPNP) to replace the traditional antibody and horseradish peroxidase for sensitive detection of glycoproteins through sandwich detection. In this work, a novel nanozyme functionalized with boric acid was used to label glycoproteins that were captured by GMC-OSIMN. The substrate in the working solution catalyzed by the nanozyme labeled on the protein underwent visible color changes to the naked eye, and the generated signal can be quantitatively detected by a spectrophotometer, and the best color development conditions of the novel nanozyme under the influence of many factors were determined through multi-dimensional investigation. The optimum conditions of sandwich are optimized with ovalbumin (OVA), and it was extended to the detection of transferrin (TRF) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the application. The detection range for TRF was 2.0 × 10-1-1.0 × 104 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 1.32 × 10-1 ng mL-1, The detection range for ALP was 2.0 × 10-3-1.0 × 102 U L-1 with the detection limit of 1.76 × 10-3 U L-1. This method was subsequently used to detect TRF and ALP levels in 16 liver cancer patients, and the standard deviation of the test results of each patient was less than 5.7%.

Abstract
Novel molecularly imprinted organically modified silica was prepared by reacting acrylamide and 3-(tri-methoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate followed by condensation and hydrolysis with tetraethyl ortho-silicate for the determination of pyriproxyfen. The sorbent proved to be highly selective for the template molecule, pyriproxyfen. The characterization of sorbent was carried out using SEM, BET and TGA. The prominent peaks in FTIR at 3700 cm-1 and 1071 cm-1 confirmed the stretching of amide group's N-H and Si-O-Si bond linkage of MIOrmosil. The pseudo-first-order model (R2 0.99) described the adsorption kinetics of the MIOrmosil, whereas among adsorption isotherms, Freundlich model showed the best fit (R2 0.99). The molecularly imprinted silica was applied for the determination of target analytes from strawberries sample using dispersive solid-phase micro extraction (DSPME) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The LOD (4.93 x10-5 μg mL-1) and LOQ (1.49 x10-4 μg m-1) values were calculated by signal to noise ratio through HPLC. Results show that the maximum binding capacity and percentage recovery values of MIOrmosil were 13 mg g-1 (n = 5) and 97.3% respectively.

Abstract
A novel molecular-imprinted polymer (MIP)-based enzyme-free biosensor was created for the selective detection of glycoprotein transferrin (Trf). For this purpose, MIP-based biosensor for Trf was prepared by electrochemical co-polymerization of novel hybrid monomers 3-aminophenylboronic acid (M-APBA) and pyrrole on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (cMWCNTs). Hybrid epitopes of Trf (C-terminal fragment and glycan) have been selected as templates. The produced sensor exhibited great selective recognition ability toward Trf under optimal preparation conditions, offering good analytical range (0.125-1.25 μM) with a detection limit of 0.024 μM. The proposed hybrid epitope in combination with hybrid monomer-mediated imprinting strategy was successfully applied to detect Trf in spiked human serum samples, with recoveries and relative standard deviations ranging from 94.7 to 106.0% and 2.64 to 5.32%, respectively. This study provided a reliable protocol for preparing hybrid epitopes and monomers-mediated MIP for the synergistic and effective determination of glycoprotein in complicated biological samples.

Abstract
Due to the massive use and abuse of pesticides, practices which have led to serious threats to human health, the research community must develop on-site and rapid detection technology of pesticide residues to ensure food safety. Here, a paper-based fluorescent sensor, integrated with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) targeting glyphosate, was prepared by a surface-imprinting strategy. The MIP was synthesized by a catalyst-free imprinting polymerization technique and exhibited highly selective recognition capability for glyphosate. The MIP-coated paper sensor not only remained selective, but also displayed a limit of detection of 0.29 µmol and a linear detection range from 0.5 to 10 µmol. Moreover, the detection time only took about 5 min, which is beneficial for rapid detection of glyphosate in food samples. The detection accuracy of such paper sensor was good, with a spiked recovery rate of 92-117% in real samples. The fluorescent MIP-coated paper sensor not only has good specificity, which is helpful to reduce the food matrix interference and shorten the sample pretreatment time, but it also has the merits of high stability, low-cost and ease of operation and carrying, displaying great potential for application in the on-site and rapid detection of glyphosate for food safety.

Abstract
In order to develop new protein imprinting polymerization methods and to prepare protein imprinted nanomaterials with high recognition, a novel protein imprinted strategy is developed in this study by using polyethyleneimine (PEI) for aminolysis of tailor-made thiolactone-based functional monomers and crosslinkers on amine-modified magnetic nanospheres in an aqueous medium. The prepared protein imprinted nanospheres can seize BSA templates in the imprinting polymerization process through multiple hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. In addition, the aminolysis reaction also generates abundant amide bonds in the imprinting polymer network, which not only enhances the hydrogen bonding interactions between the imprinted nanospheres and BSA but also improves the stability of the imprinting cavities by increasing the rigidity of the polymer chains. Based on the above advantages, the protein imprinted nanospheres show excellent rebinding specificity for BSA, for which the rebinding capacity is up to 505 ± 15 mg g-1 and the imprinting factor is 4.09. The protein imprinted nanospheres exhibit fast adsorption kinetics, outstanding reusability, and can selectively separate BSA from a protein mixture and actual biological samples. The generality of this imprinted method is also verified. Thus, this study will provide a new idea for the design of protein imprinted materials with high recognition.

Abstract
The innovative technology of a marketable lab-on-a-chip platform for point-of-care (POC) in vitro detection has recently attracted remarkable attention. The POC tests can significantly enhance the high standard of medicinal care. In the last decade, clinical diagnostic technology has been broadly advanced and successfully performed in several areas. It seems that lab-on-a-chip approaches play a significant role in these technologies. However, high-cost and time-consuming methods are increasing the challenge and the development of a cost-effective, rapid and efficient method for the detection of biomolecules is urgently needed. Recently, polymer-coated sensing platforms have been a promising area that can be employed in medical diagnosis, pharmaceutical bioassays, and environmental monitoring. The designed on-chip sensors are based on molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) that use label-free detection technology. Molecular imprinting shines out as a potentially promising technique for creating artificial recognition material with molecular recognition sites. MIPs provide unique advantages such as excellent recognition specificity, high selectivity, and good reusability. This review article aims to define several methods using molecular imprinting for biomolecules and their incorporation with several lab-on-chip technologies to describe the most promising methods for the development of sensing systems based on molecularly imprinted polymers. The higher selectivity, more user-friendly operation is believed to provide MIP-based lab-on-a-chip devices with great potential academic and commercial value in on-site clinical diagnostics and other point-of-care assays.

Abstract
The development of highly specific biomimetic recognition material is a challenge for rapid detection of harmful residues in foodstuff. In this study, a paper-based boronate affinity metal-organic framework/molecularly imprinted polymer microfluidic chip (FZS-BA@MIP) was constructed based on the in situ construction strategy, which was also designed as a highly specific biomimetic recognition module. Here, the homogeneous zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) membrane served as a great scaffold and enrichment layer. Besides, the recognition layer of MIP was prepared based on a highly oriented boronate affinity surface imprinting strategy. With the aid of the liquid flow channel, the highly specific enrichment and visual detection for antibiotic residues like kanamycin in actual products were achieved on the paper chip module of an integrated lateral flow platform. The whole analysis process could be accomplished within 30 min. In brief, this study offered a new integrated biomimetic recognition platform for visually detecting harmful veterinary residues containing cis-diols, which demonstrated promising commercial value in point-of-care testing of foodborne hazardous compounds.

Abstract
Protein assays with fingerprints and high sensitivity are essential for biomedical research and applications. However, the prevailing methods mainly rely on indirect or labeled immunoassays, failing to provide fingerprint information. Herein, we report a dual biomimetic recognition-driven plasmonic nanogap-enhanced Raman scattering (DBR-PNERS) strategy for ultrasensitive protein fingerprinting and quantitation. A pair of molecularly imprinted nanoantennas were rationally engineered for specifically trapping a target protein into well-defined plasmonic nanogaps through dual-terminal recognition for ultrahigh Raman signal amplification. Meanwhile, a Raman-active small molecule was embedded into the nanoantenna as an internal standard to provide a ratiometric assay for robust quantitation. DBR-PNERS exhibited several significant merits over existing approaches, including fingerprinting, ultrahigh sensitivity, quantitation robustness, speed, sample consumption, and so on. Therefore, it can be a promising tool for a protein assay and holds a great perspective in important applications.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid often coexist in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) and play roles as antioxidation, antiviral, antitumor and anti-inflammatory agents. Due to their low content and the presence of structural analogues, they cannot be effectively separated by conventional extraction methods. Molecularly imprinted polymers, as synthesized receptors with antibody-like binding properties, have significant advantages in separating structural analogues. However, the harsh imprinting conditions easily induced the degradation of chlorogenic acid. Therefore, caffeic acid was used as an epitope template to replace chlorogenic acid for imprinting. Boronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were selected as substrates, which could not only facilitate the immobilization and removal of the templates by pH regulation, but also achieve rapid separation under an external magnetic field. Tetraethyl orthosilicate was selected as an imprinting monomer which allowed for precise control of the thickness of the imprinting layer by adjusting the imprinting time. The prepared epitope-imprinted MNPs showed excellent specificity, in combination with high performance liquid chromatography, have been successfully applied to the selective separation and detection of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid in TCMs.

Abstract
An electromembrane microextraction (EME)-assisted fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensing method is presented for detecting the total cathinone drugs in urine samples. In this detection system, the clean-up ability of EME eliminated the matrix effects on both target binding with MIPs and the luminescence of the fluorophore in the sensor. Moreover, by optimizing the extraction conditions of EME, different cathinone drugs with a same concentration show a same response on the single aggregation induced emission (AIE) based MIP (AIE-MIP) sensor (λex = 360 nm, λem = 467 nm). The recoveries were 57.9% for cathinone (CAT) and 78.2% for methcathinone (MCAT). The EME-assisted "light-up" AIE-MIP sensing method displayed excellent performance with a linear range of 2.0-12.0 μmol L-1 and a linear determination coefficient (R2) of 0.99. The limit of detection (LOD) value for EME-assisted "light-up" AIE-MIP sensing method was 0.3 μmol L-1. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values for the detection were found to be within the range 2.0-12.0%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that determination of total illicit drugs with a single fluorescent MIP sensor was achieved and also the first utilization of sample preparation to tune the sensing signal of the sensor to be reported. We believe that this versatile combination of fluorescent MIP sensor and sample preparation can be used as a common protocol for sensing the total amount of a group of analytes in various fields.

Abstract
A new method called reverse microemulsion-confined ganglioside-oriented surface imprinting and cladding (RM-GOSIC) is presented for controllable preparation of nanoscale binders for high-affinity targeting gangliosides. Using GM1a, an affordable ganglioside, as a representative ganglioside target, single-core quantum dot GM1a-imprinted and GM1a-cladded polymer (cMIP) nanoparticles were prepared. The prepared cMIP nanoparticles exhibited extremely high affinity towards GM1a, with dissociation constant at the nanomolar level (3-6 nM). The prepared cMIP nanoparticles also recognized structurally closed gangliosides while their cross-reactivity towards other gangliosides remained low. The potential of the cMIP nanoparticles in biomedical applications was demonstrated by cell and tissue imaging. Thus, this approach opened a new access to the synthesis of high-affinity nanoscale binders for targeting gangliosides.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can exhibit antibody-level affinity for target molecules. However, the nonspecific adsorption of non-imprinted regions for non-target molecules limits the application range of MIPs. Herein, we fabricated PEGylated boronate-affinity-oriented ellagic acid-imprinting magnetic nanoparticles (PBEMN), which first integrated boronate-affinity-oriented surface imprinting and sequential PEGylation for small molecule-imprinted MIPs. The resultant PBEMN possess higher adsorption capacity and faster adsorption rate for template ellagic acid (EA) molecules than the non-PEGylated control. To prove the excellent performance, the PBEMN were linked with hydrophilic boronic acid-modified/fluorescein isothiocyanate-loaded graphene oxide (BFGO), because BFGO could selectively label cis-diol-containing substances by boronate-affinity and output ultrasensitive fluorescent signals. Based on a dual boronate-affinity synergy, the PBEMN first selectively captured EA molecules by boronate-affinity-oriented molecular imprinted recognition, and then the EA molecules were further labeled with BFGO through boronate-affinity. The PBEMN linked BFGO (PBPF) strategy provided ultrahigh sensitivity for EA molecules with a limit of detection of 39.1 fg mL-1, resulting from the low nonspecific adsorption of PBEMN and the ultrasensitive fluorescence signal of BFGO. Lastly, the PBPF strategy was successfully employed in the determination of EA concentration in a spiked beverage sample with recovery and relative standard deviation in the range of 96.5 to 104.2% and 3.8 to 5.1%, respectively. This work demonstrates that the integration of boronate-affinity-oriented surface imprinting and sequential PEGylation may be a universal tool for improving the performance of MIPs.

Abstract
The development of hydrazone bond-oriented epitope imprinting strategy is reported to synthesize the polymeric binders for the selective recognition of a protein-β2-microglobulin through either its N- or C-terminal epitope. The dynamic reversibility of hydrazone bond facilitated not only the oriented assembly of the template peptide hydrazides onto the substrate but also the efficient removal of them from the imprinted cavities. The well-defined surface imprinted layer was successfully constructed through the precise control over the polymerization of silicate esters. Binding performance of the C-terminal peptide imprinted nanocomposite was significantly improved after tuning the non-covalent interactions using the sequence-matching aromatic co-monomers. The dissociation constant (Kd) between the optimized nanocomposite and epitope peptide was 0.5 µmol L-1. The nanomaterial was utilized for the selective extraction and determination of β2-microglobulin from human urine by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and HPLC-UV with satisfied recoveries of 93.1-112.3% in a concentration range 1.0-50.0 μg⋅mL-1.

Abstract
The glycosylation pattern of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) paves the basis for precise early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, existing analytical methods ignore the contribution of terminal sialic acid, which has been reported to be highly connected with HCC. Besides, the development of diagnostic assays is severely hindered by the preparation of anti-glycans antibodies. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), as synthetic antibody mimics, provide unique strengths to address these issues. Herein, we report a MIPs-based dual-modal ratiometric immunoassay for precise HCC diagnosis. Using a "pit one against ten" MIP to recognize a subset of glycans containing sialic acid and/or core fucose, we demonstrated our assay exhibited improved precision as compared with ELISA. This assay provided not only a glycoform-resolved method for precise HCC diagnosis, but also a new paradigm for developing antibody mimics via molecular imprinting towards challenging biomedical applications.

Abstract
The ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G, isoform 2 protein (ABCG2), as an important member of ABC transporters, plays a key role in multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer and has been widely considered as a marker of cancer stem cells (CSC). Reagents capable of simultaneously targeting ABCG2 and reversing MDR have great clinical application values, but their development is highly challenging. Herein, ABCG2 glycosylated extracellular region-binding aptamers were efficiently screened by a cladded molecularly imprinted polymer (cMIP)-based in vitro screening method and further rationally engineered into cyclic bivalent aptamers. Experiments showed that both the monovalent and cyclic bivalent aptamers could specifically bind ABCG2 and thereby specially target CSC of human colorectal carcinomas (CoCSC), while the latter could effectively reverse MDR in drug-resistant liver cancer cells (HepG2/ADR). Different from currently predominant small molecule inhibitors, the reversal of MDR relied on a different mechanism; the cyclic bivalent aptamers bound the two monomers of ABCG2 dimers simultaneously and thereby blocked the ABCG2-mediated drug-pumping channel, resulting in increased intracellular accumulation of substrate drugs. This study opened a new access to the development of affinity reagents for targeting CSC and reversing MDR, holding great prospects in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
The molecular imprinting technique (MIT), also described as the "lock to key" method, has been demonstrated as an effective tool for the creation of synthetic polymers with antibody-like sites to specifically recognize target molecules. To date, most successful molecular imprinting researches were limited to small molecules (<1500 Da); biomacromolecule (especially protein) imprinting remains a serious challenge due to their large size, chemical and structural complexity, and environmental instability. Nevertheless, protein imprinting has achieved some significant breakthroughs in imprinting methods and applications over the past decade. Some special protein-imprinted materials with outstanding properties have been developed and exhibited excellent potential in several advanced fields such as separation and purification, proteomics, biomarker detection, bioimaging and therapy. In this review, we critically and comprehensively surveyed the recent advances in protein imprinting, particularly emphasizing the significant progress in imprinting methods and highlighted applications. Finally, we summarize the major challenges remaining in protein imprinting and propose its development direction in the near future.

Abstract
Accurately analysing the particular glycosylation status of protein biomarkers is of significant importance in the precise, early diagnosis of cancer. Existing methods mainly rely on the use of antibodies and lectins. However, due to the macroscopic and microscopic heterogeneity of glycans, precise analysis of glycosylation status still remains a challenge. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), as a synthetic alternative to antibodies or lectins, may provide new solutions but have not yet been explored. Herein, we report an appealing strategy called triple MIP-based plasmonic immunosandwich assay (triMIP-PISA) for precise cancer diagnosis in terms of the relative glycosylation expression of glycoprotein biomarkers. As proof of the principle, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), which has been used as a clinical biomarker for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as its Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA)-reactive fraction (AFP-L3), which is mainly composed of core-fucosylated glycans, were used as two target proteoforms to test in this study. Using two MIPs that can specifically recognize the peptide sequence of AFP as well as a fucose-imprinted MIP that can specifically recognize the AFP-L3 fraction, facile simultaneous plasmon-enhanced Raman detection of AFP and AFP-L3 in serum was achieved, which allowed HCC patients to be distinguished from healthy individuals. Due to the excellent recognition properties of the MIPs that are comparable to those of antibodies and superior to those of lectins, our triMIP-PISA method exhibited improved precision as compared with an antibody plus lectin-based immunofluorescence assay. Thus, this strategy opened a new avenue towards the precise diagnosis of cancer. A triple molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based plasmonic assay was developed for precise cancer diagnosis in terms of the relative glycosylation expression of glycoprotein biomarkers.![]()

Abstract
Phosphorylation is one of the most frequently occurring post-translation modifications in mammals. Because abnormal protein phosphorylation is related to many diseases, phosphorylation analysis is essential for a sound understanding of protein phosphorylation and its relationship with diseases. Among several types of reagents for phosphorylation recognition, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), as synthetic mimics of antibodies, have exhibited unique strengths that can overcome the drawbacks of biological reagents. However, the performance of current MIPs has remained unideal. Meanwhile, while the currently existing imprinting methods have permitted the production of several material formats, such as crushed particles and mesoporous nanoparticles, a general method allowing for the preparation of monodispersed molecularly imprinted nanoparticles has not been developed yet. Herein, we report a new approach called reverse microemulsion template docking surface imprinting and cladding (RMTD-SIC) for facile preparation of monodispersed imprinted nanoparticles for better phosphorylation recognition. Through rational design and controllable engineering, monodisperse imprinted and cladded nanoparticles specific to general phosphorylation and tyrosine phosphorylation were synthesized, which yield the highest imprinting factors as compared with published studies. The prepared nanomaterials exhibited excellent specificity and affinity, allowing for specific enrichment and improved mass spectrometric identification of target phosphorylated peptides from complex samples containing 100-fold more abundant interfering peptides. Therefore, the RMTD-SIC approach holds great potential for phosphorylation analysis and phosphorylation recognition-based applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have been widely used in important biomedical applications such as imaging, drug delivery, and disease therapy, in which targeting toward specific proteins is often essential. However, current targeting strategies mainly rely on surface modification with bioligands, which not only often fail to provide desired properties but also remain challenging. Here an unprecedented approach is reported, called reverse microemulsion-confined epitope-oriented surface imprinting and cladding (ROSIC), for facile, versatile, and controllable engineering coreless and core/shell nanoparticles with tunable monodispersed size as well as specific targeting capability toward proteins and peptides. Via engineering coreless imprinted and cladded silica nanoparticles, the effectiveness and superiority over conventional imprinting of the proposed approach are first verified. The prepared nanoparticles exhibit both high specificity and high affinity. Using quantum dots, superparamagnetic nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, and upconverting nanoparticles as a representative set of core substrates, a variety of imprinted and cladded single-core/shell nanoparticles are then successfully prepared. Finally, using imprinted and cladded fluorescent nanoparticles as probes, in vitro targeted imaging of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells and in vivo targeted imaging of TNBC-bearing mice are achieved. This approach opens a new avenue to engineering of nanoparticles for targeting specific proteins, holding great prospects in biomedical applications.
