Abstract
Glycine betaine (GB) is a bioactive molecule protecting plants from abiotic stress. This study fabricated an ultrasensitive molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) electrochemical sensor to perform in vivo measurements of GB. Polydopamine (PDA) was formed on the carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWCNTs) by spontaneous polymerisation of dopamine (DA). Then MIP-coated MWCNTs were fabricated on a Au nanoparticles (NP) and thionine (Thi) modified screen-printed electrode (SPE). The MIP-COOH-MWCNTs/pThi/AuNPs/SPE exhibited an ultrasensitive GB detection response between 1 fmol/L and 10 mmol/L (R2 = 0.996) with a low detection limit (0.707 fmol/L, S/N = 3). In vivo measurement of GB in cucumber seedling leaves under different salinity stress conditions confirmed the practical applicability of the MIP sensor. Thus, this study proposed a novel and promising fabrication method for an electrochemical MIP sensor that has broad application prospects in precision agriculture.

Abstract
In the global market era, food product control is very challenging. It is impossible to track and control all production and delivery chains not only for regular customers but also for the State Sanitary Inspections. Certified laboratories currently use accurate food safety and quality inspection methods. However, these methods are very laborious and costly. The present review highlights the need to develop fast, robust, and cost-effective analytical assays to determine food contamination. Application of the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as selective recognition units for chemosensors' fabrication was herein explored. MIPs enable fast and inexpensive electrochemical and optical transduction, significantly improving detectability, sensitivity, and selectivity. MIPs compromise durability of synthetic materials with a high affinity to target analytes and selectivity of molecular recognition. Imprinted molecular cavities, present in MIPs structure, are complementary to the target analyte molecules in terms of size, shape, and location of recognizing sites. They perfectly mimic natural molecular recognition. The present review article critically covers MIPs' applications in selective assays for a wide range of food products. Moreover, numerous potential applications of MIPs in the food industry, including sample pretreatment before analysis, removal of contaminants, or extraction of high-value ingredients, are discussed.

Ultrasensitive, label-free voltammetric determination of norfloxacin based on molecularly imprinted polymers and Au nanoparticle-functionalized black phosphorus nanosheet nanocomposite.

Abstract
Norfloxacin (NOR) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat humans and food-producing animals. Owing to NOR abuse, its residues are frequently found in animal-derived food products and the surrounding environment. Therefore, development of an efficient analytical technique for the selective determination of trace NOR is greatly significant for food safety and environmental protection. Here, we fabricated an ultrasensitive, label-free molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) voltammetric sensor for the selective determination of NOR, based on an Au nanoparticle-functionalized black phosphorus nanosheet nanocomposite (BPNS-AuNP) covered by a polypyrrole-imprinted film. BPNS-AuNP nanocomposites were prepared via an in-situ one-step method without the use of reducing agents. The imprinted polypyrrole film was formed on the surface of the BPNS-AuNPs in the presence of NOR. The physical properties and electrochemical behavior of the MIP/BPNS-AuNPs were investigated using various characterization techniques, and the analytical parameters were optimized. We found that BPNS-AuNPs improve the ambient stability and electrocatalytic activity, providing a large surface area for locating a higher number of specific recognition sites. Consequently, the MIP/BPNS-AuNP/GCE showed excellent sensing performance toward NOR, with a wide linear response range (0.1 nM - 10 μM), an extremely low limit of detection (0.012 nM), and extraordinary selectivity. Moreover, the MIP/BPNS-AuNP/GCE was used to determine NOR in various experimental samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
A sensitive molecularly imprinted poly‐(ortho‐phenylenediamine) electrochemical sensor was fabricated for selective melamine detection in milk and infant formula. The pencil graphite electrode (PGE) was modified by deposition of Au nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) on its surface. The fabrication of the electrode in various stages was monitored using cyclic voltammetry. The immobilized RGO, MIP, and gold nanoparticles on the PGE surface were morphologically characterized by field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Under the optimized conditions, the linear range and the limit of detection (LOD) were 10–17–10–8 M and 2.64 × 10–16 M (S/N = 3), respectively. The prepared sensor exhibited a good reproducibility and repeatability response. The recovery range of melamine‐spiked milk and infant formula was 92.7%–103.9% and 93.5%–105.8%, respectively. The sensor could apply successfully for melamine determination in milk and infant formula samples.

Abstract
We devised, fabricated, and tested differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) chemosensors for duloxetine (DUL) antidepressant determination in human plasma. Polyacrylic nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation polymerization and were molecularly imprinted with DUL (DUL-nanoMIPs). Then, together with the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) scaffolds, they were uniformly embedded in polytyramine films, i.e., nanoMIPs-SWCNT@(polytyramine film) surface constructs, deposited on gold electrodes by potentiodynamic electropolymerization. These constructs constituted recognition units of the chemosensors. The molecular dynamics (MD) designing of DUL-nanoMIPs helped select the most appropriate functional and cross-linking monomers and determine the selectivity of the chemosensor. Three different DUL-nanoMIPs and non-imprinted polymer (nanoNIPs) were prepared with these monomers. DUL-nanoMIPs, synthesized from respective methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethyl acrylate as the functional and cross-linking monomers, revealed the highest affinity to the DUL analyte. The linear dynamic concentration range, extending from 10 pM to 676 nM DUL, and the limit of detection (LOD), equaling 1.6 pM, in the plasma were determined by the DPV chemosensor, outperforming the EIS chemosensor. HPLC-UV measurements confirmed the results of DUL electrochemical chemosensing.

Abstract
The evolution of biosensors and diagnostic devices has been thriving in its ability to provide reliable tools with simplified operation steps. These evolutions have paved the way for further advances in sensing materials, strategies, and device structures. Polymeric composite materials can be formed into nanostructures and networks of different types, including hydrogels, vesicles, dendrimers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), etc. Due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, and low prices, they are promising tools for future lab-on-chip devices as both manufacturing materials and immobilization surfaces. Polymers can also allow the construction of scaffold materials and 3D structures that further elevate the sensing capabilities of traditional 2D biosensors. This review discusses the latest developments in nano-scaled materials and synthesis techniques for polymer structures and their integration into sensing applications by highlighting their various structural advantages in producing highly sensitive tools that rival bench-top instruments. The developments in material design open a new door for decentralized medicine and public protection that allows effective onsite and point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
Two COFs of BzBD and BzBD loaded Pd nanoclusters (BzBDPd) were prepared using 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxaldehyde (Bz), benzidine (BD) and CO reducing agent, and were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and other techniques. BzBDPd can strongly catalyze the new and stable Au@NiP nanoreaction that exhibit a strong resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak at 538 nm and a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption peak at 395 nm, and the sensitive and facile RRS technique was used to study the indicator reaction. Combining the nanocatalytic amplification reaction with specific aptamer (Apt) of some target molecules such as melamine (ML), urea (UR) and bisphenol A (BPA), a simple, sensitive and selective Apt RRS assay platform was established. The linear range of the RRS detection platform for melamine is 0.0025-0.04 nmol/L, and the detection limit (DL) is 1.96 × 10-4 nmol/L. In addition, ML in real sample was analyzed, the stability of BzBD, BzBDPd, PdNPs and the catalytic mechanism of COFPd were also considered.

Abstract
A molecularly imprinted biosensor for lysozyme based on the polymer nanoparticles self-assembled from water-soluble and electroactive poly (γ-glutamic acid) modified with 3-aminothiophene copolymer were prepared. The water-soluble copolymer made imprinting of lysozyme in aqueous solution possible and thus facilitated improvement of the activity of LYS. Subsequent electro-polymerization not only locked the recognition site between copolymer and lysozyme but also created a conductive polymer network, which can enhance the electron transfer rate and increase the conductivity of the film. The prepared molecularly imprinted biosensor exhibited a wide linear range from 1 × 10-10 to 1 × 10-5 mg mL-1, and satisfactory selectivity, stability, repeatability for lysozyme detection.

Abstract
Specific recognition and sensing of glycoproteins are of great importance in clinical diagnostics considering their frequent utilization as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. In this work, a biomimetic fluorescent sensor for the selective and sensitive detection of glycoprotein was developed, which was based on late-model boronate fluorescent molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (B-FMIP NPs). The B-FMIP NPs were fabricated via the macromolecular assembly of a fluorescent photo-crosslinkable amphiphilic copolymer containing boronic acid with glycoprotein in aqueous solution and in situ photo-crosslinking. Due to the synergism of boronate affinity and the molecular imprinting effect, the resultant B-FMIP NPs demonstrated specific recognition and remarkable selectivity toward the template glycoprotein (ovalbumin, OVA) with a high imprinted factor (α) of 6.0 and gave rise to obvious fluorescence quenching after binding with OVA in water. Under optimized experimental conditions, the as-prepared B-FMIP NPs exhibited linearity over the OVA concentration range of 10-13 to 10-3 mg mL-1 with a detection limit of 3.3 × 10-14 mg mL-1, as well as a rapid response time (about 10 min), which was superior to that of other previously reported OVA sensors. Finally, these B-FMIP NPs have been applied for the determination of OVA in real samples.

Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1117:25-34. [PMID: 32408951 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2020.04.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2019] [Revised: 04/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
A high-performance molecularly imprinted sensing platform inspired by natural recognition mechanisms was fabricated to detect protein by employing a linear electro-polymerizable molecularly imprinted polymer as macromonomer. This was achieved via the combination of a biosensor fabrication with a self-assembly imprinting technique without the use of chemical labels. An amphipathic electroactive copolymer was designed as macro-monomer to maintain structural integrity of the protein template via self-assembly, resulting in generation of a 3D construction around the protein molecule to form imprinted sites. Electro-polymerization was utilized not only to anchor imprinted sites but also to enhance electron transfer. The adaptable sensing platform was based on a strengthened recognition reaction between the MIP layer and template protein after the generation of an electroactive network. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and trypsin were used as model proteins to investigate the method's generality, which gave broad detection ranges of 10-14-10-5 mg mL-1 for BSA and 10-13-10-8 mg mL-1 for trypsin. These results indicate that the proposed fabrication offers an effective and versatile strategy for protein recognition.

Abstract
Herein, we developed a hierarchical bio-composite sensing film by facile one-step electro-deposition of 0D enzyme-polymer nanoparticles (NPs) with 2D graphene oxide nanosheets as conductive supports and nanofillers, based on which an effective and robust enzymatic biosensor platform was constructed. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as a model enzyme was co-assembled with a photo-cross-linkable polypeptide of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate modified poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA-HEMA), generating hybrid HRP@γ-PGA-HEMA nanoparticles (HRP@PGH NPs). Then HRP@PGH NPs and graphene oxide nanosheets (GO NSs) were simultaneously electrodeposited onto the electrode surface, obtaining a hierarchical 0D-2D bio-composite film. After subsequent electrochemical reduction of GO NSs into graphene nanosheets (GNSs) and following photo-cross-linking, the resultant nanostructured HRP@PGH/GNSs sensing film was successfully applied to construct an enzymatic biosensor for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The biosensor exerted high sensitivity, fast response, and good stability for H2O2 sensing. Satisfactory results were also demonstrated for its practical application in human serum samples, suggesting a promising application potential in biomedical diagnostics. The one-step generated 0D-2D bio-composite sensing film demonstrates synergetic effects from both the soft nanoparticles and hard conductive nanosheets, which would enlighten the innovative construction of composite nanomaterials and nanoarchitectonics for bio-sensing systems.

Abstract
Simple, fast, and sensitive molecularly imprinted composite thin-film-based electrochemical sensor developed by using in situ co-electropolymerization of aniline and acrylic acid in the presence of melamine as a template is described here. The prepolymerization complex formation was studied by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometry, while the film formation was performed and characterized by cyclic voltammetry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optimization of important parameters and removal of melamine generated the binding sites in the polymer matrix, which can recognize melamine specifically. Electrochemical measurements were performed to achieve the linear range, the limit of quantification, and limit of detection of 0.1-180, 0.0573, and 0.0172 nM, respectively. The sensitivity of the sensor was attributed to the synergistic effects of amine from aniline and the carboxylic group from acrylic acid to form multiple noncovalent interactions with the template. Melamine-spiked infant formula and raw milk were analyzed by the developed sensor, and the recovery range of 95.87-105.63% with a relative standard deviation of 1.11-2.23% was obtained. The results showed that the developed sensor using the new composite polymer receptor is promising for the online monitoring of melamine in the food industries in the future.

Abstract
In this study, a novel detection method of methimazole was proposed based on the hollow molecularly imprinted quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor, in which the hollow imprinted polymers (H-MIPs) were firstly prepared through the surface imprinted techniques, using hollow silica spheres as matrix supporting material and methimazole as template molecule. The characterizations of H-MIPs were carefully studied. Compared with traditional MIPs, H-MIPs exhibited faster mass transfer rate and higher adsorption capacity. After coating onto the surface of Au chip, the H-MIPs QCM sensor was fabricated. Based on the frequency shift, good linear behavior in the range of 5-70 μg L-1, limit of detection of 3 μg L-1, and good recoveries of 88.32%-107.96% in the spiked pork, beef and milk were obtained. The analysis process could complete within 8 min. The developed sensor provided an effective, fast and accurate method for the methimazole detection in food samples.

Abstract
With increasing economic globalization, food safety is becoming the most serious concern in the food production and distribution system. Food safety hazard factors (FSHFs) can be categorized into chemical hazards, biological hazards and physical hazards, with the detection of the former two having fascinated interdisciplinary research areas spanning chemistry, material science and biological science. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) -based sensors overcome many limitations of traditional detection methods and provide opportunities for efficient, sensitive and low-cost detection using smart miniaturized equipment. With highly specific molecular recognition capacity and high stability in harsh chemical and physical conditions, MIPs have been used in sensing platforms such as electrochemical, optical and mass-sensitive sensors as promising alternatives to bio-receptors for food analysis. In this systemic review, we summarize recent advances of MIPs and MIP-based sensors, such as popular monomers, usual polymerization strategies, fresh modification materials and advanced sensing mechanisms. The applications of MIP-based sensors in FSHF detection are discussed according to sensing mechanisms, including electrochemistry, optics and mass-sensitivity. Finally, future perspectives and challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Food standards and quality control are important means to ensure public health. In the last decade, melamine has become a rather notorious example of food adulteration: Spiking products with low-cost melamine in order to feign high amino acid content exploits the lack in specificity of the established Kjeldahl method for determining organic nitrogen. This work discusses the responses of a sensor based on quartz crystal microbalances (QCM) coated with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) to detect melamine in real life matrices both in a selective and a sensitive manner. Experiments in pure milk revealed no significant sensor responses. However, sensor response increased to a frequency change of −30Hz after diluting the matrix ten times. Systematic evaluation of this effect by experiments in melamine solutions containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) and casein revealed that proteins noticeably influence sensor results. The signal of melamine in water (1600 mg/L) decreases to half of its initial value, if either 1% BSA or casein are present. Higher protein concentrations decrease sensor responses even further. This suggests significant interaction between the analyte and proteins in general. Follow-up experiments revealed that centrifugation of tagged serum samples results in a significant loss of sensor response, thereby further confirming the suspected interaction between protein and melamine.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting is an approach of generating imprinting cavities in polymer structures that are compatible with the target molecules. The cavities have memory for shape and chemical recognition, similar to the recognition mechanism of antigen-antibody in organisms. Their structures are also called biomimetic receptors or synthetic receptors. Owing to the excellent selectivity and unique structural predictability of molecularly imprinted materials (MIMs), practical MIMs have become a rapidly evolving research area providing key factors for understanding separation, recognition, and regenerative properties toward biological small molecules to biomacromolecules, even cell and microorganism. In this review, the characteristics, morphologies, and applicability of currently popular carrier materials for molecular imprinting, especially the fundamental role of hydrogels, porous materials, hierarchical nanoparticles, and 2D materials in the separation and recognition of biological templates are discussed. Moreover, through a series of case studies, emphasis is given on introducing imprinting strategies for biological templates with different molecular scales. In particular, the differences and connections between small molecular imprinting (bulk imprinting, "dummy" template imprinting, etc.), large molecular imprinting (surface imprinting, interfacial imprinting, etc.), and cell imprinting strategies are demonstrated in detail. Finally, future research directions are provided.

Abstract
A novel and robust enzymatic biosensing platform with high sensitivity is developed based on facile one-step assembled bio-nanocomposites with enzymes-loaded polymeric nanoparticles decorating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). An amphiphilic copolymer PAVE containing photo-cross-linkable coumarin segments and carboxylic groups was co-assembled with MWCNTs in aqueous solution while encapsulating the model enzyme namely glucose oxidase (GOx) simultaneously, generating necklace-like bio-nanocomposites (GOx@PAVE-CNTs) with GOx-loading polymeric nanoparticles as nanobeads and MWCNTs as conducting micron-string. Then the GOx@PAVE-CNTs bio-nanocomposites were electro-deposited onto electrode surface and a robust biosensing complex film with porous network structure was formed after following photo-cross-linking. Consequently, an enzymatic glucose biosensor was successfully constructed. The biosensor exhibited ultrafast response (<3 s) to glucose with a considerably wide linear range (1.0 μM ∼ 5 mM) and a low detection limit (0.36 μM) for glucose detection. High sensitivity and selectivity of the biosensor toward glucose were also well demonstrated. Furthermore, the biosensor showed exceptionally good stability and reproducibility. More importantly, the glucose biosensor was practically used for glucose detection from human urine and serum samples with satisfactory results. As a proof-of-concept strategy, this facile and effective strategy for biosensor fabrication is of considerable interest because of its versatility to be generalized to many other enzymatic biosensor systems, exhibiting promising and practical potential in bio-medical and life health applications.

Abstract
A versatile strategy, based on the use of an amphiphilic copolymer as a macromonomer, was developed for the preparation of a fully synthetic MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) sensor for protein recognition. A UV-crosslinkable copolymer poly(DMA-co-HEA-co-St) (UPDHS) was designed and synthesized to assemble with the template protein in aqueous solution, resulting in the fabrication of protein imprinted polymeric nanoparticles. Linear macromolecular chains were used to protect the structural integrity of the protein, through which a 3D structure was formed around the protein molecule to generate recognition cavities. Then the nanoparticles were immobilized on the cleaned surface of a transducer as an MIP sensing platform. The resultant MIP coating was then irradiated via ultraviolet light to ensure that the recognition cavities were stable after UV curing. After protein extraction, recognition cavities complementary to the protein molecule in shape, size and chemical functionality were formed in the platform, which could then selectively rebind to the template in a mixture of closely related compounds. The sensor exhibited satisfactory selectivity, a wide linear range from 10-14 to 10-9 mg mL-1, and a comparatively lower detection limit for protein detection. This strategy offers a new and straightforward method for the synthesis of receptors for label-free and cost-efficient protein recognition. This is one of the most effective and versatile strategies for the preparation of high-performance protein recognition devices based on a fully synthetic MIP.
