A solid-phase synthesis approach to prepare molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (MIP-NPs) specific for trypsin is described. The protein is immobilized on a solid support upon which thermoresponsive MIP-NPs are synthesized. The MIP-NPs are released by a simple temperature change, resulting in synthetic antibody mimics exhibiting high specificity and selectivity for trypsin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
