The
development of high-performance protein-imprinted materials
for adsorption and separation to obtain high-purity, high-quality
biomolecules is still one of the most important techniques to promote
the rapid development of the protein drug industry. In this paper,
a novel highly specific bovine serum albumin (BSA) cobalt–molybdenum
double-hydroxides surface-imprinted composite particles (Co–Mo
LDHs@MIPs) were constructed by the surface imprinting technique combined
with metal chelation. ZIF-67 was etched by molybdate ions to obtain
unique MOF-derived bimetallic hydroxide particles (Co–Mo LDHs),
which were used as the carrier. The rough outer surface and bimetallic
ion coordination of Co–Mo LDHs enable anchoring more template
proteins. The adsorption capacity of Co–Mo LDHs@MIPs was up
to 423.37 mg/g for BSA in 60 min with an imprinting factor of 2.65.
In addition, Co–Mo LDHs@MIPs can selectively recognize and
separate BSA from mixed proteins and fetal bovine serum and exhibit
high reusability stability.
