“…17,18 These sites offer target-specific geometrical as well as chemical fits, making molecular imprinting a highly competitive technique for producing artificial antibodies at a much-reduced cost for the recognition of biomolecules. 19 This feature makes MIPs a valuable and sought-after research material, as an alternative to natural antibodies or enzymes, used for various applications such as sensors, separations, and catalysis. [20][21][22] Unlike natural receptors, MIPs are easy to generate, are robust in extreme conditions, possess good long-term storage stability, and can be easily synthesized for a variety of targets without laborious laboratory work.…”
