“…Molecularly imprinted polymers and their target molecules mimic the recognition mechanism of biological systems such as antibodies/antigens or enzymes/inhibitors in synthetic polymeric structures (Mosbach & Ramström, ). MIPs have been produced to capture a broad range of compounds, from low‐molecular‐weight structures to metal ions (Aslıyüce et al, ), pharmaceuticals, environmental pollutants (Üzek, Sari, Şenel, Denizli, & Merkoçi, ), proteins (Perçin, Idil, & Denizli, ), virus particles (Gast, Sobek, & Mizaikoff, ) and even whole microbial cells (Idil, Hedström, Denizli, & Mattiasson, ). There are applications in both bioseparation and diagnostics (Bereli et al, ; Bereli, Saylan, Uzun, Say, & Denizli, ; Ertürk, Özen, Tümer, Mattiasson, & Denizli, ; Uzun, Say, Ünal, & Denizli, ).…”
