A novel molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)based electrochemical sensor was developed by electropolymerization of o-phenylenediamine (o-PD) in the presence of artemisinin on gold wire surface for sensitive detection of artemisinin. The experimental parameters, including selection of functional monomer, polymerization conditions, template extraction after polymerization, influence of pH and buffer were all optimized. Every step of imprinted film synthesis were evaluated by employing voltammetry techniques, surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The specificity was further evaluated by investigating non-specific artemisinin binding on non-imprinted polymer (NIP) surfaces and an imprinting factor of 6.8 was achieved. The artemisinin imprinted polymers using o-PD as functional monomer have provided highly stable and effective binding cavities for artemisinin. Cross-reactivity studies with drug molecules showed that the MIPs are highly specific for artemisinin. The influence of matrix effect was further investigated both in artificial plant matrix and diluted human serum. The results revealed a high affinity of artemisinin-MIP with dissociation constant of 7.3 x 10(-9) M and with a detection limit of 0.01 mu M and 0.02 mu M in buffer and plant matrix, respectively.}, language = {en} } @article{ZhangCasertaYarmanetal.2021, author = {Zhang, Xiaorong and Caserta, Giorgio and Yarman, Aysu and Supala, Eszter and Tadjoung Waffo, Armel Franklin and Wollenberger, Ulla and Gyurcsanyi, Robert E. and Zebger, Ingo and Scheller, Frieder W.}, title = {"Out of Pocket" protein binding}, series = {Chemosensors}, volume = {9}, journal = {Chemosensors}, number = {6}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2227-9040}, doi = {10.3390/chemosensors9060128}, pages = {13}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The epitope imprinting approach applies exposed peptides as templates to synthesize Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) for the recognition of the parent protein. While generally the template protein binding to such MIPs is considered to occur via the epitope-shaped cavities, unspecific interactions of the analyte with non-imprinted polymer as well as the detection method used may add to the complexity and interpretation of the target rebinding. To get new insights on the effects governing the rebinding of analytes, we electrosynthesized two epitope-imprinted polymers using the N-terminal pentapeptide VHLTP-amide of human hemoglobin (HbA) as the template. MIPs were prepared either by single-step electrosynthesis of scopoletin/pentapeptide mixtures or electropolymerization was performed after chemisorption of the cysteine extended VHLTP peptide. Rebinding of the target peptide and the parent HbA protein to the MIP nanofilms was quantified by square wave voltammetry using a redox probe gating, surface enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. While binding of the pentapeptide shows large influence of the amino acid sequence, all three methods revealed strong non-specific binding of HbA to both polyscopoletin-based MIPs with even higher affinities than the target peptides.}, language = {en} } @misc{MengerYarmanErdoessyetal.2016, author = {Menger, Marcus and Yarman, Aysu and Erd{\"o}ssy, J{\´u}lia and Yildiz, Huseyin Bekir and Gyurcs{\´a}nyi, R{\´o}bert E. and Scheller, Frieder W.}, title = {MIPs and Aptamers for Recognition of Proteins in Biomimetic Sensing}, series = {Biosensors : open access journal}, volume = {6}, journal = {Biosensors : open access journal}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2079-6374}, doi = {10.3390/bios6030035}, pages = {4399 -- 4413}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Biomimetic binders and catalysts have been generated in order to substitute the biological pendants in separation techniques and bioanalysis.
