Preparation of artificial receptors that bind peptides in water is one of the most attractive themes because of their potential applications to separation/purification of bioproducts, biosensing, therapy, and others. 1 However, synthetic approaches toward these receptors have been often hampered by difficulty in placing several recognition moieties at predetermined positions in nanometer-scaled space. Thus, the molecular imprinting technique was often employed. 2 Most of previous imprintings were based on the following three strategies:(1) imprinting of the surface structure of protein, 3 (2) imprinting of a short oligopeptide sequence in exposed domain of protein, 4 and (3) use of protein-recognizing biomolecule as functional monomer. 5 These artificial receptors showed selective affinity to the template proteins. However, few of these receptors distinguished dynamic structures of peptides in solutions, although many important characteristics of peptides (biological functions, supramolecular assembling, and others) are primarily governed by these solution structures. There has been no general strategy for the design of desired artificial receptors.Here we report new types of receptors which strictly recognize solution structures of oligopeptides in water. In the presence of template oligopeptide, a vinyl monomer of β-cyclodextrin (β-CyD) is polymerized in water, and several β-CyD molecules are immobilized complementarily to apolar and bulky groups in the template (Scheme 1). 6, 7 Of the oligopeptide templates employed here (shown in Figure 1), angiotensin II (AII) is an octapeptide hormone for blood pressure regulation in the human body. Its precursor decapeptide is angiotensin I (AI), which is converted to the active hormone AII by enzymatic removal of its C-terminal His-Leu. In spite of the apparent similarity of amino acid sequences of these two oligopeptides, the imprinted β-CyD polymers clearly distinguish the difference in their structures in water and separate them from each other. Furthermore, alteration of only one amino acid (isoleucine) in AI and AII to valine (AIf [Val5]-AI and AIIf [Val5]-AII) is also successfully recognized by the imprinted polymers, since they recognize the solution structure of each of these closely related oligopeptides.
