An Optical Device Based on a Chemical Chip and Surface Plasmon Platform for 2-Furaldehyde Detection in Insulating Oil. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:5261. [PMID: 39204956 PMCID: PMC11359362 DOI: 10.3390/s24165261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2024] [Revised: 08/07/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
2-Furaldehyde (2-FAL) is one of the main by-products of the degradation of hemicellulose, which is the solid material of the oil-paper insulating system of oil-filled transformers. For this reason, it has been suggested as a marker of the degradation of the insulating system; sensing devices for 2-FAL analysis in a wide concentration range are of high interest in these systems. An optical sensor system is proposed; this consists of a chemical chip, able to capture 2-FAL from the insulating oil, coupled with a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) probe, both realized on multimode plastic optical fibers (POFs). The SPR platform exploits gold nanofilm or, alternatively, a double layer of gold and silicon oxide to modulate the sensor sensitivity. The capturing chip is always based on the same molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as a receptor specific for 2-FAL. The system with the SPR probe based on a gold nanolayer had a higher sensitivity and a lower detection limit of fractions of μg L-1. Instead, the SPR probe, based on a double layer (gold and silicon oxide), has a lower sensitivity with a worse detection limit, and it is suitable for the detection of 2-FAL at concentrations of 0.01-1 mg L-1.

Abstract
Molecular imprinting is a promising approach for developing polymeric materials as artificial receptors. However, only a few types of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are commercially available, and most research on MIPS is still in the experimental phase. The significant limitation has been a challenge for screening imprinting systems, particularly for weak functional target molecules. Herein, a combined method of quantum mechanics (QM) computations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations was employed to screen an appropriate 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) imprinting system. QM calculations were performed using the Gaussian 09 software. MD simulations were conducted using the Gromacs2018.8 software suite. The QM computation results were consistent with those of the MD simulations. In the MD simulations, a realistic model of the 'actual' pre-polymerisation mixture was obtained by introducing numerous components in the simulations to thoroughly investigate all non-covalent interactions during imprinting. This study systematically examined MIP systems using computer simulations and established a theoretical prediction model for the affinity and selectivity of MIPs. The combined method of QM computations and MD simulations provides a robust foundation for the rational design of MIPs.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have emerged as bespoke materials with versatile molecular applications. In this study, we propose a proof of concept for a methodology employing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to guide the selection of functional monomers for curcuminoid binding in MIPs. Curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin are phenolic compounds widely employed as spices, pigments, additives, and therapeutic agents, representing the three main curcuminoids of interest. Through MD simulations, we investigated prepolymerization mixtures composed of various functional monomers, including acrylamide (ACA), acrylic acid (AA), methacrylic acid (MAA), and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP), with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker and acetonitrile as the solvent. Curcumin was selected as the template molecule due to its structural similarity to the other curcuminoids. Notably, the prepolymerization mixture containing NVP as the functional monomer demonstrated superior molecular recognition capabilities toward curcumin. This observation was supported by higher functional monomer molecules surrounding the template, a lower total nonbonded energy between the template and monomer, and a greater number of hydrogen bonds in the aggregate. These findings suggest a stronger affinity between the functional monomer NVP and the template. We synthesized, characterized, and conducted binding tests on the MIPs to validate the MD simulation results. The experimental binding tests confirmed that the MIP-NVP exhibited higher binding capacity. Consequently, based on MD simulations, our computational methodology effectively guided the selection of the functional monomer, leading to MIPs with binding capacity for curcuminoids. The outcomes of this study provide a valuable reference for the rational design of MIPs through MD simulations, facilitating the selection of components for MIPs. This computational approach holds the potential for extension to other templates, establishing a robust methodology for the rational design of MIPs.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as artificial synthetic receptors are in high demand for food analysis due to their inherent molecular recognition abilities. It is common practice to employ functional monomers with basic or acidic groups that can interact with analyte molecules via hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds, and other interactions (π-π, dipole-ion, hydrophobic, and Van der Waals). Therefore, selecting the appropriate functional monomer and cross-linker is crucial for determining how precisely they interact with the template and developing the polymeric network's three-dimensional structure. This study summarizes the advancements made in MIP's functional monomers and cross-linkers for food analysis from 2018 to 2023. The subsequent computational design of MIP has been thoroughly explained. The discussion has concluded with a look at the difficulties and prospects for MIP in food analysis.

Abstract
The "lock-and-key" model that emphasizes the concept of chemical-structural complementary is the key mechanism for explaining the selectivity between small ligands and a larger adsorbent molecule. In this work, concerning the copolymer chain using only the combination of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) and hydrophobic N-tert-butylacrylamide (TBAm) monomers and by large-scale atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, our results show that the flexible copolymer chain may exhibit strong binding affinity for the biomarker protein epithelial cell adhesion molecule, in the absence of hydrophobic matching and strong structural complementarity. This surprising binding behavior, which cannot be anticipated by the "lock-and-key" model, can be attributed to the preferential interactions established by the copolymer with the protein's hydrophilic exterior. We observe that increasing the fraction of incorporated TBAm monomers leads to a prevalence of interactions with asparagine and glutamine amino acids due to the emerging hydrogen bonding with both NIPAm and TBAm monomers. Our findings suggest the appearance of highly specific and high-affinity binding sites on the protein created by engineering the copolymer composition, which motivates the applications of copolymers as protein affinity reagents.

Abstract
Phthalate is a kind of environmental estrogen having a reproductive toxicity effect on animals and plants in the environment, and its detection is prone to matrix interference. Nevertheless, the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) can resist matrix interference. A three-template MIP solid-phase microextraction fiber array technique with improved adsorption flux and extraction capacity was innovatively developed. Additionally, the three-template MIP fiber arrays were used to screen phthalates in environmental water. The result showed that the three-template MIP fiber array had great potential for monitoring and controlling phthalate in environmental water. Moreover, the enrichment factors of the three-template MIP fiber arrays were 1410.65, 2419.55, and 493.21 times those of PA, PDMS, and PDMS/DVB commercial fiber-constructed arrays, respectively. The risk assessment using risk quotient revealed that BBP and DPHP had a medium-high ecological risk, DMP had a medium-low ecological risk, while EP and BP had a minimal ecological risk. This strategy represents an effective, easily tailored, and reusable method to simultaneously enhance extraction capacity and adsorption flux. It is environmentally friendly and has great feasibility for specific recognition of phthalate from environmental water and ecological risk assessment.

Abstract
Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) have specific recognition capabilities and have been widely used for electrochemical sensors with high selectivity. In this study, an electrochemical sensor was developed for the determination of p-aminophenol (p-AP) by modifying the screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) with chitosan-based MIP. The MIP was made from p-AP as a template, chitosan (CH) as a base polymer, and glutaraldehyde and sodium tripolyphosphate as the crosslinkers. MIP characterization was conducted based on membrane surface morphology, FT-IR spectrum, and electrochemical properties of the modified SPCE. The results showed that the MIP was able to selectively accumulate analytes on the electrode surface, in which MIP with glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker was able to increase the signal. Under optimum conditions, the anodic peak current from the sensor increased linearly in the range of 0.5-35 µM p-AP concentration, with sensitivity of (3.6 ± 0.1) µA/µM, detection limit (S/N = 3) of (2.1 ± 0.1) µM, and quantification limit of (7.5 ± 0.1) µM. In addition, the developed sensor exhibited high selectivity with an accuracy of (94.11 ± 0.01)%.

Abstract
In this study, a L-asparagine (L-Asn) imprinted membranes (L-Asn-MIPs) were synthesized via molecular imprinting for selective and efficient removal of L-Asn. The L-Asn-MIP membrane was prepared by using acrylamide (AAm) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as a functional monomer and a comonomer, respectively. The membrane was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The L-Asn adsorption capacity of the membrane was investigated in detail. The maximum L-Asn adsorption capacity was determined as 408.2 mg/g at pH: 7.2, 24 °C. Determination of L-Asn binding behaviors of L-Asn-MIPs also shown with Scatchard analyses. The effect of pH on L-Asn adsorption onto the membrane and also the selectivity and reusability of the L-Asn-MIPs for L-Asn adsorption were determined through L-asparaginase (L-ASNase) enzyme activity measurements. The selectivity of the membrane was investigated by using two different ternary mixtures; L-glycine (L-Gly)/L-histidine (L-His)/L-Asn and L-tyrosin (L-Tyr)/L-cystein(L-Cys)/L-Asn. The obtained results showed that the L-Asn-MIP membranes have a high selectivity towards L-Asn.

Selective Adsorption of Quercetin by the Sol-Gel Surface Molecularly Imprinted Polymer. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15040905.

Abstract
Quercetin, as one of the most biologically active natural flavonoids, is widely found in various vegetables, fruits and Chinese herbs. In this work, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized through surface molecular imprinting technology with sol-gel polymerization mechanism on SiO2 at room temperature using quercetin as the template, SiO2 as the supporter, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as the functional monomer, and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the cross-linker. The prepared MIP was characterized via scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and nitrogen adsorption measurements to validate its surface morphology, structure and functionality. SEM images revealed that the morphology of MIP was rough and spherical with the particle size of 260 nm larger than that of the support SiO2. In the FTIR spectra of MIP, the band around 1499 cm-1 and 2932 cm-1 were assigned to N-H and C-H groups, respectively. The results indicated that the imprinted polymer layers were grafted on the surface of SiO2 and the MIP had been successfully prepared. Since the specific surface area and pore volume of MIP were markedly higher than those of NIP and SiO2 and were 52.10 m2 g-1 and 0.150 cm3 g-1, respectively, it was evident that the imprinting process created corresponding imprinted cavities and porosity. The MIP for adsorbing quercetin was evaluated by static adsorption experiment. The results indicated that the adsorption equilibrium could be reached within 90 min and the maximum adsorption capacity was as high as 35.70 mg/g. The mechanism for adsorption kinetics and isotherm of MIP for quercetin was proved to conform the pseudo-second-order kinetics model (R2 = 0.9930) and the Freundlich isotherm model (R2 = 0.9999), respectively, revealing that chemical adsorption and heterogeneous surface with multilayer adsorption dominated. In contrast to non-imprinted polymer (NIP), the MIP demonstrated high selectivity and specific recognition towards quercetin whose selectivity coefficients for quercetin relative to biochanin A were 1.61. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of MIP can be maintaining above 90% after five regeneration cycles, indicating brilliant reusability and potential application for selective adsorption of quercetin.

Abstract
Because of their ability to selectively bind to a target protein, copolymer nanoparticles (NPs) containing a selected combination of hydrophobic and charged groups have been frequently reported as potent antibody-like analogues. However, due to the intrinsic disorder of the copolymer NP in terms of its random monomer sequence and the cross-linked copolymer matrix, the copolymer NP is indeed strikingly different from a well-folded protein antibody and the complexation between the copolymer NP and a target protein is likely not due to a lock-key type of interaction but possibly due to a novel and unexplored molecular mechanism. Here, we study a key biomarker protein, vimentin, interacting with a set of random copolymer chains using implicit-water explicit-ion coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations along with biolayer interferometry (BLI) analysis. Due to the charge and hydrophobicity anisotropy on the vimentin dimer (VD) surface, a set of bound copolymers are found inhomogenously adsorbed on the VD, with energetic heterogeneity for different binding sites and cooperative effect in the adsorption. Increasing the charge or hydrophobicity of the copolymer may have different consequences on the adsorption. In this study, we found that with more copolymer charges, the protein coverage increases for copolymers of low hydrophobicity and decreases of high hydrophobicity, which is explained by the distribution and size of various functional patches on the VD in loading those copolymers. Employing a coverage-dependent Langmuir model, we propose a simulation protocol to address the full profile of the copolymer binding free energy through the fit to the simulated binding isotherm. The obtained results correlate well with those from the BLI experiment, indicating the significance of this method for the rational design of the copolymer NP with engineered protein binding affinity.

Abstract
Herein, a new generic fiber array based on molecular imprinting solid-phase microextraction (MIP-SPME) technology, was described to enrich trace multiple neonicotinoids with high flux from the food matrix. To begin with adsorption experiments coupled with theoretical calculations provided universal means for selecting the preferred template molecule clothianidin (CLT). Results demonstrated that the CLT-MIP fiber array exhibited significantly superior enrichment ability of 1189-2356-folds for six neonicotinoids compared with two kinds of commercial fiber arrays. Furthermore, the practicability of the CLT-MIP fiber array was verified by simultaneously determining multiple neonicotinoids in tea and honey samples. The CLT-MIP fiber array showed a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.03-0.58 μg/L for six neonicotinoids. The method also exhibited satisfactory recoveries ranging from 85.4% to 116.8% with RSD (n = 3) less than 8.8%. The imprinted fiber array has the advantages of high-throughput, predominant reproducibility, and accurate quantitation multi-component, and it may open up a new mean to efficiently enrich high-throughput and simultaneously detect multiple compounds from food samples.

Abstract
Rapid, selective, and cost-effective detection and determination of clinically relevant biomolecule analytes for a better understanding of biological and physiological functions are becoming increasingly prominent. In this regard, biosensors represent a powerful tool to meet these requirements. Recent decades have seen biosensors gaining popularity due to their ability to design sensor platforms that are selective to determine target analytes. Naturally generated receptor units have a high affinity for their targets, which provides the selectivity of a device. However, such receptors are subject to instability under harsh environmental conditions and have consequently low durability. By applying principles of supramolecular chemistry, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can successfully replace natural receptors to circumvent these shortcomings. This review summarizes the recent achievements and analytical applications of electrosynthesized MIPs, in particular, for the detection of protein-based biomarkers. The scope of this review also includes the background behind electrochemical readouts and the origin of the gate effect in MIP-based biosensors.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have now become one of the most remarkable materials in the field of molecular recognition. Although many efforts have been made to study the process and mechanism of molecular imprinting, it has not been possible to monitor the interactions between the template and the growing polymer chains under real-time experimental conditions. The behavior of the template-monomer complex during the whole polymerization process has remained largely unknown. In this work, we introduce a fluorescence technique that allows monitoring of the template-functional monomer complex during an actual imprinting process, as well as the real-time signaling of template binding and dissociation from the imprinted polymer. For the first proof-of-principle, we select Alizarin Red S (ARS) and 4-vinylphenylboronic acid as the template and functional monomer, respectively, to synthesize MIP particles via precipitation polymerization. As the formation of the template-functional monomer complex leads to strong fluorescence emission, it allows the status of the template binding to be monitored throughout the whole reaction process in real time. Using the same fluorescence technique, the kinetics of template binding and dissociation can be studied directly without particle separation. The hydrophilic MIP particles can be used as a scavenger to remove ARS from water. In addition, the MIP particles can be used as a recyclable sensor to detect Cu ions. As the Cu ion forms a stable complex with ARS, it causes ARS to dissociate from the MIP nanoparticles, leading to effective fluorescence quenching. The non-separation analytical method based on fluorescence measurement provides a convenient means to study molecular imprinting reactions and the kinetics of molecular recognition using imprinted polymers. The recyclable nanoparticle sensor allows toxic Cu ions to be detected directly in water in the range of 0.1-100 μM with a recovery of 84-95%.

Abstract
Today, we heavily rely on technology and increasingly utilize it to monitor our own health. The identification of sensitive, accurate biosensors that are capable of real-time cortisol analysis is one important potential feature for these technologies to aid us in the maintenance of our physical and mental wellbeing. Detection and quantification of cortisol, a well-known stress biomarker present in sweat, offers a noninvasive and potentially real-time method for monitoring anxiety. Molecularly imprinted polymers are attractive candidates for cortisol recognition elements in such devices as they can selectively rebind a targeted template molecule. However, mechanisms of imprinting and subsequent rebinding depend on the choice and composition of the prepolymerization mixture where the molecular interactions between the template, functional monomer, cross-linker, and solvent molecules are not fully understood. Here, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a molecularly imprinted polymer selective for cortisol detection. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the interactions between all components in the prepolymerization mixture of the as-synthesized molecularly imprinted polymer. Varying the component ratio of the prepolymerization mixture indicates that the number of cross-linker molecules relative to the template impacts the quality of imprinting. It was determined that a component ratio of 1:6:30 of cortisol, methacrylic acid, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, respectively, yields the optimal theoretical complexation of cortisol for the polymeric systems investigated. Experimental synthesis and rebinding results demonstrate an imprinting factor of up to 6.45. The trends in cortisol affinity predicted by molecular dynamics simulations of the prepolymerization mixture were also corroborated through experimental analysis of those modeled molecularly imprinted compositions, demonstrating the predictive capabilities of these simulations.

Abstract
Imprinting polymerization is an exciting technique since it leads to specific binding sites, which are the basis of a variety of applications, such as sensors, detectors, and catalysts. The specific binding sites are created using templates and then fixing the structure of the binding site with crosslinking. The literature review of imprinting polymerizations shows that the crosslinking density governs the physical properties of the resulting molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). It is also a factor governing the capacity and the selectivity of MIPs. Reviewing polymer science data and theory, the crosslinking density commonly used in MIP synthesis is unusually high. The data reviewed here suggest that more research is needed to determine the optimal crosslinking density for MIPs.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the use of theoretical and computational approaches in the study and development of molecular imprinting systems. These tools are being used to either improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying the function of molecular imprinting systems or for the design of new systems. Here, we present an overview of the literature describing the application of theoretical and computational techniques to the different stages of the molecular imprinting process (pre-polymerization mixture, polymerization process and ligand-molecularly imprinted polymer rebinding), along with an analysis of trends within and the current status of this aspect of the molecular imprinting field.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are obtained by initiating the polymerization of functional monomers surrounding a template molecule in the presence of crosslinkers and porogens. The best adsorption performance can be achieved by optimizing the polymerization conditions, but this process is time consuming and labor-intensive. Theoretical calculation based on calculation simulations and intermolecular forces is an effective method to solve this problem because it is convenient, versatile, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive. In this article, computational simulation modeling methods are introduced, and the theoretical optimization methods of various molecular simulation calculation software for preparing molecularly imprinted polymers are proposed. The progress in research on and application of molecularly imprinted polymers prepared by computational simulations and computational software in the past two decades are reviewed. Computer molecular simulation methods, including molecular mechanics, molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics, are universally applicable for the MIP-based materials. Furthermore, the new role of computational simulation in the future development of molecular imprinting technology is explored.

Abstract
The science of toxicology dates back almost to the beginning of human history. Toxic chemicals, which are encountered in different forms, are always among the chemicals that should be investigated in criminal field, environmental application, pharmaceutic, and even industry, where many researches have been carried out studies for years. Almost all of not only drugs but also industrial dyes have toxic side and direct effects. Environmental micropollutants accumulate in the tissues of all living things, especially plants, and show short- or long-term toxic symptoms. Chemicals in forensic science can be known by detecting the effect they cause to the body with the similar mechanism. It is clear that the best tracking tool among analysis methods is molecularly printed polymer-based analytical setups. Different polymeric combinations of molecularly imprinted polymers allow further study on detection or extraction using chromatographic and spectroscopic instruments. In particular, methods used in forensic medicine can detect trace amounts of poison or biological residues on the scene. Molecularly imprinted polymers are still in their infancy and have many variables that need to be developed. In this review, we summarized how molecular imprinted polymers and toxicology intersect and what has been done about molecular imprinted polymers in toxicology by looking at the studies conducted in the last 5 years.

Abstract
In the last 10 years, we have witnessed an extensive development of instrumental techniques in analytical methods for determination of various molecules and ions at very low concentrations. Nevertheless, the presence of interfering components of complex samples hampered the applicability of new analytical strategies. Thus, additional sample pre-treatment steps were proposed to overcome the problem. Solid sorbents were used for clean-up samples but insufficient selectivity of commercial materials limited their utility. Here, the application of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) or ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) in the separation processes have recently attracted attention due to their many advantages, such as high selectivity, robustness, and low costs of the fabrication process. Bulk or monoliths, microspheres and core-shell materials, magnetically susceptible and stir-bar imprinted materials are applicable to different modes of solid-phase extraction to determine target analytes and ions in a very complex environment such as blood, urine, soil, or food. The capability to perform a specific separation of enantiomers is a substantial advantage in clinical analysis. The ion-imprinted sorbents gained interest in trace analysis of pollutants in environmental samples. In this review, the current synthetic approaches for the preparation of MIPs and IIPs are comprehensively discussed together with a detailed characterization of respective materials. Furthermore, the use of sorbents in environmental, food, and biomedical analyses will be emphasized to point out current limits and highlight the future prospects for further development in the field.

Abstract
Nanoscale molecularly imprinted polymers (nanoMIPs) are powerful molecular recognition tools with broad applications in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of complex diseases. In this work, fully atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to assist the design of nanoMIPs with recognition capacity toward l-fucose and d-mannose as prototype disease biomarkers. MD simulations were conducted on prepolymerization mixtures containing different molar ratios of the monomers N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), methacrylamide (MAM), and (4-acrylamidophenyl)(amino)methaniminium acetate (AB) and fixed molar ratios of the cross-linker ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) in explicit acetonitrile as the porogenic solvent. Prepolymerization mixtures containing ternary mixtures of NIPAM (50%), MAM (25%), and AB (25%) exhibit the best imprinting potential for both l-fucose and d-mannose, as they maximize (i) the stability of template-monomer plus template-cross-linker interactions, (ii) the number of functional monomers plus cross-linkers organized around the template, and (iii) the number of hydrogen bonds participating in template recognition. The studied prepolymerization mixtures exhibit an overall increased recognition capacity toward d-mannose over l-fucose, which is attributed to the higher hydrogen-bonding capacity of the former template. Our results are valuable to guide the synthesis of efficient nanoMIPs for sugar recognition and provide a computational framework extensible to any other template, monomer, or cross-linker combination, thus constituting a promising strategy for the rational design of molecularly imprinted materials.

Abstract
Abstract
Responsive molecularly imprinted microgels (MIGs) have gained a lot of interest due to their responsive specificity and selectivity for target compounds. Study on MIGs is rapidly increasing due to their quick responsive behavior in various stimuli like pH and temperature. MIGs show unique property of morphology control on in-situ synthesis of nanoparticles in response of variation in reactant concentration. Literature related to synthesis, parameters, characterization, applications and prospects of MIGs are critically reviewed here. Range of templates, monomers, initiators and crosslinkers are summarized for designing of desired MIGs. This review article describes effect of variation in reactants combination and composition on morphology, imprinting factor and percentage yield of MIGs. Hydrolysis of similar templates using MIGs is also described. Relation between percentage hydrolysis and hydrolysis time of targets at different temperatures and template:monomer ratio is also analyzed. Possible imprinting modes of ionic/non-ionic templates and its series are also generalized on the basis of previous literature. MIGs are investigated as efficient anchoring vehicles for adsorption, catalysis, bio-sensing, drug delivery, inhibition and detection.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging as harmful environmental micropollutants. Generally, PFAS species are quantified by mass spectrometry, for which a collected sample is taken to a centralized facility. Robust techniques to quantify PFAS in the field are necessary to diagnose environmental contamination at the earliest onset of pollution. Here, we developed a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) electrode for the detection of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and explored the MIP surface and the effects of interfering molecules. MIPs were formed by the anodic deposition of o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) in the presence of PFOS template molecules on a glassy carbon macroelectrode. The performance of the resulting MIP electrode was evaluated by the current obtained from the oxidation of ferrocene carboxylic acid as the electrochemical probe. The MIP electrode was able to detect PFOS with a detection limit of 0.05 nM, which is lower than the health advisory limit of 0.14 nM reported by the U.S. EPA. To better understand PFOS association into the MIP, a Langmuir binding model was developed based on the changes in electrochemical responses of the MIP. Fitting the model to the experimental data gave an association constant (KA) of 4.95 × 1012 over a PFOS concentration range of 0 to 0.05 nM. The binding isotherm of other commonly found substances in contaminated water sources such as chloride, humic acid, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS) was also investigated. In the case of chloride and humic acid, the calculated KA values of 9.05 × 107 and 6.01 × 105, respectively, indicate relatively weak adsorption of these species on the MIP. However, PFOA, which is the carboxylate analog of PFOS, revealed a very close KA value (3.41 × 1012) to PFOS. A greater KA value (1.43 × 1013) was obtained for PFBS, which possesses the same functional group and a smaller molecular size compared to PFOS. The presented platform emphasizes the necessity to develop new strategies to make MIP sensors more specific if practical applications are to be pursued.

Abstract
![]()
The
design of artificial oxyanion receptors with switchable ion
preference is a challenging goal in host–guest chemistry. We
here report on molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with an external
phospho-sulpho switch driven by small molecule modifiers. The polymers
were prepared by hydrogen bond-mediated imprinting of the mono- or
dianions of phenyl phosphonic acid (PPA), phenyl sulfonic acid (PSA),
and benzoic acid (BA) using N-3,5-bis-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl-Ń-4-vinylphenyl urea (1) as the functional
host monomer. The interaction mode between the functional monomer
and the monoanions was elucidated by 1H NMR titrations
and 1H–1H NMR NOESY supported by molecular
dynamic simulation, which confirmed the presence of high-order complexes.
PPA imprinted polymers bound PPA with an equilibrium constant Keq = 1.8 × 105 M–1 in acetonitrile (0.1% 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine) and inorganic
HPO42– and SO42– with Keq = 2.9 × 103 M–1 and 4.5 × 103 M–1, respectively, in aqueous buffer. Moreover, the chromatographic
retentivity of phosphonate versus sulfonate was shown to be completely
switched on this polymer when changing from a basic to an acidic modifier.
Mechanistic insights into this system were obtained from kinetic investigations
and DSC-, MALDI-TOF-MS-, 1H NMR-studies of linear polymers
prepared in the presence of template. The results suggest the formation
of template induced 1–1 diad repeats in the polymer main chain
shedding unique light on the relative contributions of configurational
and conformational imprinting.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown anomalies with the most studied non-covalent molecularly imprinted polymer, the propranolol imprinted one. This imprinted polymer, like many others, binds more template than the non-imprinted control polymer, but its selectivity in template adsorption is only slightly or not at all improved by imprinting, depending on the compound compared. The reasons for this anomaly are discovered here. Simple experiments show that acid homoassociation in the prepolymerisation complex is the likely cause of the anomaly. The specific conductivity of prepolymerization mixtures at different functional monomer to template ratios follows a pattern observed in homoassociating systems. Analysis of the optimal prepolymerization mixture shows that on average two molecules of the functional monomer are complexed to the basic template, even if the template lacks any other hydrogen bonding functional group than the amino group. Molecular modeling calculations provide the structure and stability of the homoassociated prepolymerization complexes. These results lead to a plausible interpretation of the anomaly, which may not be unique for the propranolol imprinted polymer, but may affect all imprinted polymers made for basic templates by using acidic functional monomers. The analytical applications of the new imprinting model are demonstrated.

Abstract
Antibody–peptide/protein interactions are instrumental for many processes in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and as tools for biomedical and biochemical research. The recent development of molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles displaying antibody-like recognition of peptides and proteins offers the possibility for substituting antibodies with these robust materials for applications where the structural integrity and function of antibodies is compromised by temperature, pH, solvent, etc. The background to the development of this class of antibody-mimicking material and the state-of-the-art in their synthesis and application is presented in this review.

Abstract
Materials that can mimic the molecular recognition-based functions found in biology are a significant goal for science and technology. Molecular imprinting is a technology that addresses this challenge by providing polymeric materials with antibody-like recognition characteristics. Recently, significant progress has been achieved in solving many of the practical problems traditionally associated with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), such as difficulties with imprinting of proteins, poor compatibility with aqueous environments, template leakage, and the presence of heterogeneous populations of binding sites in the polymers that contribute to high levels of non-specific binding. This success is closely related to the technology-driven shift in MIP research from traditional bulk polymer formats into the nanomaterial domain. The aim of this article is to throw light on recent developments in this field and to present a critical discussion of the current state of molecular imprinting and its potential in real world applications.

Abstract
The polycondensation of silicic acid, methylsilicic acid, or their mixture was studied by reactive force field simulation. These were found to be feasible systems for the simulation of two-step acid hydrolysis-alkaline condensation of their alkoxysilane counterparts, usually taken experimentally as sol-gel precursors. The approach avoided the alkoxysilane hydrolysis step and allowed high degrees of polycondensation at relatively low temperature (700-1000 K), from the computational efficiency perspective. Being the ultimate interest of the present study the sol-gel polycondensation of templated gels whose microstructural pattern is affected by the presence of a template, the role of the intermolecular forces was decisive, and promoted high polycondensation at the lowest possible temperature. Polycondensation with added damascenone did not result in any perceived templating effect, i.e., damascenone was not able to interact significantly with the growing clusters, in a way that would allow its occlusion or a surface molding effect on the clusters. A possible reason for this is the intermolecular interaction strength being too weak at the temperatures set for the simulations. However, when using luteolin as the template, a molecule with several hydrogen bond interaction points, it was possible to observe different microscopic events involving the template molecules, some of them corresponding to actual templating effects, such as partial enveloping by the network around the template. These restricted events did not allow the inference of any macroscopic property of the final gel. However, it was shown that polycondensates shaped by the template or a template dimer may be obtained. The sites thus obtained will be essential for future in silico studies of the selectivity of such sites.

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are attractive semiconductor fluorescent nanomaterials with remarkable optical and electrical properties. The broad absorption spectra and high stability of QD transducers are advantageous for sensing and bioimaging. Molecular imprinting is a technique for manufacturing synthetic polymeric materials with a high recognition ability towards a target analyte. The high selectivity of the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) is a result of the fabrication process based on the template-tailored polymerization of functional monomers. The three-dimensional cavities formed in the polymer network can serve as the recognition elements of sensors because of their specificity and stability. Appending specific molecularly imprinted layers to QDs is a promising strategy to enhance the stability, sensitivity, and selective fluorescence response of the resulting sensors. By merging the benefits of MIPs and QDs, inventive optical sensors are constructed. In this review, the recent synthetic strategies used for the fabrication of QD nanocrystals emphasizing various approaches to effective functionalization in aqueous environments are discussed followed by a detailed presentation of current advances in QD conjugated MIPs (MIP-QDs). Frontiers in manufacturing of specific imprinted layers of these nanomaterials are presented and factors affecting the specific behaviour of an MIP shell are identified. Finally, current limitations of MIP-QDs are defined and prospects are outlined to amplify the capability of MIP-QDs in future sensing.

Amido surface-functionalized magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers for the efficient extraction of Sibiskoside from Sibiraea angustata. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2019; 1109:90-98.

Abstract
A general method for efficient and selective extraction of a target compound from complex natural products remains elusive, despite decades of research. By introducing a functional amido group on the surface of dispersity-enhanced magnetic nanoparticles, a nanoparticle receptor to selectively recognize Sibiskoside (a monoterpene) from the aerial portion of Sibiraea angustata by hydrogen bond interaction was synthesized. The superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were successively modified with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), amino and amido functional groups, and 4-vinylbenzoic acid (VBZA) was used as the functional monomer. A thin layer of poly (VBZA) imprinted with Sibiskoside was immobilized on the surface of magnetic carriers. Attributing to the amido group introduced into the magnetic particles, the template could attract and bind to the surface and promote the formation of a hydrogen bond system between the carrier, template molecules and functional monomer. High-density molecular recognition sites grew on the surface of magnetic substrate. The adsorption reached equilibrium at approximately 150 min, while fast adsorption occurred during the first 60 min. The maximum adsorption capacity has been found to be 13.75 mg g-1 according to calculation with the Langmuir isotherm. The selectivity coefficients of Molecular imprinting polypers (MIPs) for Sibiskoside with respect to Andrographolide, Loganin, Gastrodin, geraniol-1-O-[α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 6)-1-β-d-glucopyranoside] (GRG), Sibiscolacton and Sibiraic acid were 2.26, 1.43, 1.701.56, 1.05, 0.73 and, respectively. The results indicated that the MIPs possessed good specific adsorption capacity and selectivity toward Sibiskoside and had the potential to be a candidate for the separation and purification of monoterpenes from Sibiraea angustata, which is of great significance to obesity management.

Abstract
This work presents three new experimental methods for studying molecular imprinting. The electric conductivity measurements of the pre-polymerization mixture of amine templates in an aprotic solvent provide evidence of ionic dissociation of the pre-polymerization complexes. The displacement measurement of the template propranolol from its molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) using a quaternary ammonium ion in toluene, shows that this MIP behaves as an ion exchanger even in a non-polar solvent. The same experiment also shows that template binding to the MIP from toluene involves ionic interaction. The third experimental method introduced here serves to study the models of template binding on MIPs. To this end the binding isotherm of propranolol (PR) has been measured on a polymer mixture consisting of non-imprinted control polymer (NIP) and a stronger binding acidic polymer, respectively. All three methods are suitable for studying several other imprinting systems.

Abstract
Small-molecule oxoanions are often imprinted noncovalently as carboxylates into molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), requiring the use of an organic counterion. Popular species are either pentamethylpiperidine (PMP) as a protonatable cation or tetraalkylammonium (TXA) ions as permanent cations. The present work explores the influence of the TXA as a function of their alkyl chain length, from methyl to octyl, using UV/vis absorption, fluorescence titrations, and HPLC as well as MD simulations. Protected phenylalanines (Z-l/d-Phe) served as templates/analytes. While the influence of the counterion on the complex stability constants and anion-induced spectral changes shows a monotonous trend with increasing alkyl chain length at the prepolymerization stage, the cross-imprinting/rebinding studies showed a unique pattern that suggested the presence of adaptive cavities in the MIP matrix, related to the concept of induced fit of enzyme-substrate interaction. Larger cavities formed in the presence of larger counterions can take up pairs of Z-x-Phe and smaller TXA, eventually escaping spectroscopic detection. Correlation of the experimental data with the MD simulations revealed that counterion mobility, the relative distances between the three partners, and the hydrogen bond lifetimes are more decisive for the response features observed than actual distances between interacting atoms in a complex or the orientation of binding moieties. TBA has been found to yield the highest imprinting factor, also showing a unique dual behavior regarding the interaction with template and fluorescent monomer. Finally, interesting differences between both enantiomers have been observed in both theory and experiment, suggesting true control of enantioselectivity. The contribution concludes with suggestions for translating the findings into actual MIP development.

A new strategy of simple, inexpensive, rapid, and label-free single-nucleotide-polymorphism (SNP) detection using robust chemosensors with piezomicrogravimetric, surface plasmon resonance, or capacitive impedimetry (CI) signal transduction is reported. Using these chemosensors, selective detection of a genetically relevant oligonucleotide under FIA conditions within 2 min is accomplished. An invulnerable-to-nonspecific interaction molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with electrochemically synthesized probes of hexameric 2,2'-bithien-5-yl DNA analogues discriminating single purine-nucleobase mismatch at room temperature was used. With density functional theory modeling, the synthetic procedures developed, and isothermal titration calorimetry quantification, adenine (A)- or thymine (T)-substituted 2,2'-bithien-5-yl functional monomers capable of Watson-Crick nucleobase pairing with the TATAAA oligodeoxyribonucleotide template or its peptide nucleic acid (PNA) analogue were designed. Characterized by spectroscopic techniques, molecular cavities exposed the ordered nucleobases on the 2,2'-bithien-5-yl polymeric backbone of the TTTATA hexamer probe designed to hybridize the complementary TATAAA template. In that way, an artificial TATAAA-promoter sequence was formed in the MIP. The purine nucleobases of this sequence are known to be recognized by RNA polymerase to initiate the transcription in eukaryotes. The hexamer strongly hybridized TATAAA with the complex stability constant KsTTTATA-TATAAA = ka/kd ≈ 106 M-1, as high as that characteristic for longer-chain DNA-PNA hybrids. The CI chemosensor revealed a 5 nM limit of detection, quite appreciable as for the hexadeoxyribonucleotide. Molecular imprinting increased the chemosensor sensitivity to the TATAAA analyte by over 4 times compared to that of the nonimprinted polymer. The herein-devised detection platform enabled the generation of a library of hexamer probes for typing the majority of SNP probes as well as studying a molecular mechanism of the complex transcription machinery, physics of single polymer molecules, and stable genetic nanomaterials.
