Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanoparticles (MIP NPs) were synthesized via a solidphase approach with immobilized template enzyme (trypsin) on a solid support which following polymer synthesis acted as affinity matrix for separation of high-affinity nanoparticle fractions. This protocol was adapted from Poma et al.[1] and allows for fast synthesis and controlled separation and purification of high affinity materials, with one production cycle lasting just 2.5 hours. Materials produced this way were free from template contamination and possessed sub-nanomolar apparent dissociation constants whilst showing low cross-reactivity. Depending on the enzyme immobilization method (random vs. oriented, with protected enzyme active site) used during imprinting, the rebinding of the free enzyme onto the MIP NP results either in its inhibition or in apparent stabilization (no inhibition observed).MIPs can be broadly considered as man-made equivalents of natural receptors/antibodies, and, like their natural counterparts are able to recognize and bind corresponding target molecules. For this reason, and also due to their potential to replace unstable natural receptors in diagnostics, MIPs are an important research target.[2-4] When used in nanoparticle format, as opposed to more “traditional” approaches such as ground monoliths, beads or films, MIPs have the potential to be used as direct replacement for natural receptors (such as antibodies) in assays, sensing and affinity separations [3] and catalysis.[5] While the majority of work performed with imprinted polymers deals with small molecules, imprinting of proteins remains challenging [6] due to their high molecular-weights, as well as multitude of functional groups which together with low stability in non-physiological conditions hinder the imprinting process. This fact, together with the lack of a scalable and standard process for the synthesis of MIP NPs restricts access of this technology to prospective practical and commercial applications.
