Abstract
Protein-templated molecularly imprinted polymers have limitations such as poor mass transfer, slow recognition kinetics, and difficulties in isolation and purification due to their large molecular sizes, complex structures, and flexible conformations. To address these limitations and obtain lysozyme (Lyz)-imprinted polymers, a molecularly imprinted polymer (UiO66@DES-MIPs) was prepared for the first time by using Lyz as a template molecule, a metal-organic framework (UiO66-NH2) as a matrix, and a water-compatible deep eutectic solvent (DES) as a functional monomer. The introduction of UiO66-NH2 by the solvothermal method with a large specific surface area and favorable stability and resistance to environmental disturbances into the MIPs can reduce the "embedding" phenomenon and acquire a higher binding capacity and fast mass transfer. In addition, a water-soluble binary DES (1:2 molar ratio of choline chloride to 1,3 dimethylurea) prepared by a hydrothermal method as a functional monomer generates multiple forces with Lyz, increasing the hydrophilicity of UiO66@DES-MIPs and contributing to the formation and stabilization of the imprinted sites. Consequently, UiO66@DES-MIPs exhibited good selectivity, water compatibility, and fast adsorption equilibrium (the adsorption equilibrated at 243.87 ± 4.88 mg g-1 in 90 min). Besides, reusability experiments indicated that the UiO66@DES-MIPs could be recycled six times without obvious loss of adsorption capacity. The imprinting factor of UiO66@DES-MIPs is 3.67. The isolation and purification of Lyz from egg white confirmed the practicability of UiO66@DES-MIPs. The high adsorption capacity and specific recognition make this polymer a promising candidate for the isolation and purification of biological macromolecules.

Abstract
Bioremediation is a key process for reclaiming polluted soil and water by the use of biological agents. A commonly used approach aims to neutralise or remove harmful pollutants from contaminated areas using live microorganisms. Generally, immobilised microorganisms rather than planktonic cells have been used in bioremediation methods. Activated carbon, inorganic minerals (clays, metal oxides, zeolites), and agricultural waste products are acceptable substrates for the immobilisation of bacteria, although there are limitations with biomass loading and the issue with leaching of bacteria during the process. Various synthetic and natural polymers with different functional groups have been used successfully for the efficient immobilisation of microorganisms and cells. Promise has been shown using macroporous materials including cryogels with entrapped bacteria or cells in applications for water treatment and biotechnology. A cryogel is a macroporous polymeric gel formed at sub-zero temperatures through a process known as cryogelation. Macroporous hydrogels have been used to make scaffolds or supports for immobilising bacterial, viral, and other cells. The production of composite materials with immobilised cells possessing suitable mechanical and chemical stability, porosity, elasticity, and biocompatibility suggests that these materials are potential candidates for a range of applications within applied microbiology, biotechnology, and research. This review evaluates applications of macroporous cryogels as tools for the bioremediation of contaminants in wastewater.

Abstract
Adenosine is an important molecule in the human body because it participates various biochemical processes, signalling in the physiological processes, and neurological disorders. In the current study, the surface imprinting method was used to prepare adenosine-imprinted magnetic core-shell polyvinylbutyral microbeads. These microbeads were utilized for quantification of adenosine in aqueous solution and control plasma in the range of 1-200 µM. The limit of detection was found to be 1.9 nM, which is quite sensitive compared with to some earlier studies. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and a Zetasizer (particle size analyzer) were used for characterization of the prepared imprinted microbeads. To determine the efficiency of this method, selectivity experiments were conducted with adenosine-imprinted and non-imprinted magnetic core-shell polyvinylbutyral microbeads and with the competitive nucleosides cytidine, uridine, guanosine, and thymidine. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies were performed to assess adsorption of adenosine onto the adenosine-imprinted magnetic core-shell polyvinylbutyral microbeads from adenosine solution. The efficiency was linked to the specific surface reactivity, polarity and porosity of the imprinted microbeads.

Abstract
Human fecal contamination is a crucial threat that results in difficulties in access to clean water. Enterococcus faecalis is a bacteria which is utilized as an indicator in polluted water. Nevertheless, existing strategies face several challenges, including low affinity and the need for labelling, which limit their access to large scale applications. Herein, a label-free fingerprint of the surface proteins of waterborne bacteria on a sensor was demonstrated for real-time bacteria detection from aqueous and water samples. The kinetic performance of the sensor was evaluated and shown to have a range of detection that spanned five orders of magnitude, having a low detection limit (3.4 × 104 cfu/mL) and a high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9957). The sensor also designated a high selectivity while other competitor bacteria were employed. The capability for multiple usage and long shelf-life are superior to other modalities. This is an impressive surface modification method that uses the target itself as a recognition element, ensuring a broad range of variability to replicate others with different structure, size and physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
Aquatic and terrestrial environment and human health have been seriously threatened with the release of metal-containing wastewater by the rapid growth in the industry. There are various methods which have been used for removal of ions from the environment, such as membrane filtration, ion exchange, membrane assisted liquid extraction and adsorption. As a sort of special innovation, a polymerization technique, namely molecular imprinting is carried out by specific identification for the target by mixing it with a functional monomer. After the polymerization occurred, the target ion can be removed with suitable methods. At the end of this process, specific cavities, namely binding sites, are able to recognize target ions selectively. However, the selectivity of the molecularly imprinted polymer is variable not only because of the type of ligand but also charge, size coordination number, and geometry of the target ion. In this review, metal ion-imprinted polymeric materials that can be applied for metal ion removal from different sources are discussed and exemplified briefly with different metal ions.

Abstract
Human fecal contamination poses a crucial environmental and health threat in recent years, resulting in the difficulties of access to clean water. According to the World Health Organization, several fecal bacteria, particularly Enterococci species, are present in human intestinal flora. Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is one of the indicator bacteria that have been utilized as a pollution indicator in water. However, existing technologies and detection strategies face multiple challenges in terms of low affinity for detection and labelling requirements that limit their access to large scale applications. Here, we present a label-free molecular fingerprinting strategy on a plasmonic sensor to detect E. fecalis from aqueous and seawater samples. The kinetic performance of platform was comprehensively evaluated and the platform provided four orders of magnitude detection range with a low limit of detection (down to ~100 bacteria/mL) and a high correlation coefficient value (> 0.99) in the range of 2 × 104-1 × 108 cfu/mL. The platform also denoted a selectivity and specificity while other bacteria (E. coli, B. subtilis, and S. aureus) samples were applied. Multiple time use and relatively long shelf-life are superior to the existing modality. The presented method is one of the fascinating surface modification technique that utilizes biotarget as a recognition element itself, providing a broad range of versatility to replica other biotargets with different molecular structure, size, and physicochemical properties. Such a reliable and versatile platform would hold potential applications from microbiome characterization to forensics by revitalizing obsolescent detection strategies.

Abstract
Hemoglobin is an iron carrying protein in erythrocytes and also an essential element to transfer oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. Abnormalities in hemoglobin concentration are closely correlated with health status and many diseases, including thalassemia, anemia, leukemia, heart disease, and excessive loss of blood. Particularly in resource-constrained settings existing blood analyzers are not readily applicable due to the need for high-level instrumentation and skilled personnel, thereby inexpensive, easy-to-use, and reliable detection methods are needed. Herein, a molecular fingerprints of hemoglobin on a nanofilm chip was obtained for real-time, sensitive, and selective hemoglobin detection using a surface plasmon resonance system. Briefly, through the photopolymerization technique, a template (hemoglobin) was imprinted on a monomeric (acrylamide) nanofilm on-chip using a cross-linker (methylenebisacrylamide) and an initiator-activator pair (ammonium persulfate-tetramethylethylenediamine). The molecularly imprinted nanofilm on-chip was characterized by atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry, followed by benchmarking detection performance of hemoglobin concentrations from 0.0005 mg mL−1 to 1.0 mg mL−1. Theoretical calculations and real-time detection implied that the molecularly imprinted nanofilm on-chip was able to detect as little as 0.00035 mg mL−1 of hemoglobin. In addition, the experimental results of hemoglobin detection on the chip well-fitted with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model with high correlation coefficient (0.99) and association and dissociation coefficients (39.1 mL mg−1 and 0.03 mg mL−1) suggesting a monolayer binding characteristic. Assessments on selectivity, reusability and storage stability indicated that the presented chip is an alternative approach to current hemoglobin-targeted assays in low-resource regions, as well as antibody-based detection procedures in the field. In the future, this molecularly imprinted nanofilm on-chip can easily be integrated with portable plasmonic detectors, improving its access to these regions, as well as it can be tailored to detect other proteins and biomarkers.
