Selective Binding of Complex Glycans and Glycoproteins in Water by Molecularly Imprinted Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Synthetic receptors to recognize biological glycans are in great need for modern glycoscience and technology, but their design and synthesis have been a daunting challenge due to strong solvation of carbohydrates in water and structural complexity of the guest. Molecular imprinting in surfactant micelles with amide cross-linkers provides a convenient one-pot method to prepare nanoparticle receptors for glycosides, glycans, and glycoproteins, taking advantage of hydrogen-bonding interactions near the surfactant/water interface. Biologically competitive micromolar binding affinities were obtained in water and subtle structural differences of glycans could be distinguished.

Selective Binding of Dopamine and Epinephrine in Water by Molecularly Imprinted Fluorescent Receptors.

Project description:Catecholamines play important roles in biology but their structural similarity makes it challenging to construct synthetic receptors with selective binding. A combination of covalent and noncovalent binding groups in the hydrophobic core of water-soluble nanoparticles enabled them to recognize dopamine and epinephrine with an association constant (Ka ) of 3-4×104 M-1 in water, an order of magnitude higher than those of previously reported synthetic hosts. In addition, minute structural changes among analogues were detected including the addition or removal of a single hydroxyl or methyl group.

Towards Detection of Glycoproteins Using Molecularly Imprinted Nanoparticles and Boronic Acid-Modified Fluorescent Probe.

Project description:Glycoproteins represent a group of important biomarkers for cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Selective detection of specific glycoproteins is an important step for early diagnosis. Traditional glycoprotein assays are mostly based on lectins, antibodies, and enzymes, biochemical reagents that are costly and require special cold chain storage and distribution. To address the shortcomings of the existing glycoprotein assays, we propose a new approach using protein-imprinted nanoparticles to replace the traditional lectins and antibodies. Protein-imprinted binding sites were created on the surface of silica nanoparticles by copolymerization of dopamine and aminophenylboronic acid. The imprinted nanoparticles were systematically characterized by dynamic light scattering, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. A boronic acid-modified fluorescent probe was used to detect the target glycoprotein captured by the imprinted nanoparticles. Using horseradish peroxidase as a model glycoprotein, we demonstrated that the proposed method can be applied to detect target protein containing multiple glycosylation sites. Because of their outstanding stability and low cost, imprinted nanoparticles and synthetic probes are attractive replacements of traditional biochemical reagents to develop simpler, faster, and more cost-effective analytical methods for glycoproteins.

Molecularly Imprinted Biodegradable Nanoparticles.

Project description:Biodegradable polymer nanoparticles are promising carriers for targeted drug delivery in nanomedicine applications. Molecu- lar imprinting is a potential strategy to target polymer nanoparticles through binding of endogenous ligands that may promote recognition and active transport into specific cells and tissues. However, the lock-and-key mechanism of molecular imprinting requires relatively rigid cross-linked structures, unlike those of many biodegradable polymers. To date, no fully biodegradable molecularly imprinted particles have been reported in the literature. This paper reports the synthesis of a novel molecularly- imprinted nanocarrier, based on poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and acrylic acid, that combines biodegradability and molec- ular recognition properties. A novel three-arm biodegradable cross-linker was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of glycolide and lactide initiated by glycerol. The resulting macromer was functionalized by introduction of end-functions through reaction with acryloyl chloride. Macromer and acrylic acid were used for the synthesis of narrowly-dispersed nanoparticles by radical polymerization in diluted conditions in the presence of biotin as template molecule. The binding capacity of the imprinted nanoparticles towards biotin and biotinylated bovine serum albumin was twentyfold that of non-imprinted nanoparti- cles. Degradation rates and functional performances were assessed in in vitro tests and cell cultures, demonstrating effective biotin-mediated cell internalization.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Selective Determination of Estrogens in Water by ESI-MS/FAPA-MS.

Project description:Qualitative and quantitative analysis of estrogens content in natural water is a difficult task. An important problem in the analysis of hormones in water is the quantitative determination of their individual species. Low detection limits and instability of estrogen derivatives are the main challenges. Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (mag-MIPs) in combination with Flowing Atmospheric-Pressure Afterglow Mass Spectrometry (FAPA-MS) were successfully used for analysis of estrogen hormones in water samples. The aim of the study was to obtain mag-MIPs selective to estrone (E1) and β-estradiol (E2) for solid phase extraction and pre-concentration of estrogens. Due to their superior analyte binding properties at low concentrations (0.03 g in 1 g of polymer structure) and possibility of magnetic separation, mag-MIPs were proven to be very convenient and efficient adsorbent materials. In addition, MS analyses were performed using two ionization sources: ESI- and FAPA-MS. For both estrogens, LOD was significantly lower for FAPA-MS analysis (0.135 μgL-1 for E1 and E2) than for ESI-MS analysis (27 μgL-1 for E1 and 13.6 μgL-1 for E2). The total estrogen concentration in the environmental water sample was determined as: cE1 = 0.271 μgL-1 and cE2 = 0.275 μgL-1.

Molecularly Imprinted Silk Fibroin Nanoparticles.

Project description:Nanosized biomimetics prepared by the strategy of molecular imprinting, that is, the stamping of recognition sites by means of a template-assisted synthesis, are demonstrating potential as plastic antibodies in medicine, proving effective for cell imaging and targeted therapies. Most molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (MIP-NPs) are currently made of soft matter, such as polyacrylamide and derivatives. Yet, MIP-NPs biocompatibility is crucial for their effective translation into clinical uses. Here, we propose the original idea to synthesize fully biocompatible molecularly imprinted nanoparticles starting from the natural polymer silk fibroin (MIP SF-NPs), which is nontoxic and highly biocompatible. The conditions to produce MIP SF-NPs of different sizes (dmean ∼ 50 nm; dmean ∼ 100 nm) were set using the response surface method. The stamping of a single, high affinity (KD = 57 × 10-9 M), and selective recognition site per silk fibroin nanoparticle was demonstrated, together with the confirmation of nontoxicity. Additionally, MIP SF-NPs were used to decorate silk microfibers and silk nanofibers, providing a general means to add entailed biofunctionalities to materials.

Graphene Oxide-Silver Nanoparticles in Molecularly-Imprinted Hybrid Films Enabling SERS Selective Sensing.

Project description:A highly sensitive and selective Raman sensor has been developed by combining molecularly imprinted cavities, silver nanoparticles, and graphene oxide into a hybrid organic-inorganic film. The molecular imprinted nanocomposite material is an advanced platform that exhibits Graphene-mediated Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering. The sensing layers have been prepared via sol-gel process and imprinted with rhodamine 6G to obtain selective dye recognition. Graphene oxide sheets decorated with silver nanoparticles have been incorporated into the matrix to enhance the Raman scattering signal. The template molecule can be easily removed from the films by ultrasonication in ethanol. A 712-fold Raman enhancement has been observed, which corresponds to a 2.15 × 1013 count·?mol-1 signal enhancement per molecular cavity. Besides Raman enhancement, the sensing platform has shown an excellent selectivity toward the test molecule with respect to similar dyes. In addition, the material can be reused at least 10 times without any loss of performance.

Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles for pathogen visualisation.

Project description:Saccharides displayed on the cell surface of pathogens play critical roles in many activities such as adhesion, recognition and pathogenesis, as well as in prokaryotic development. In this work, we report the synthesis of molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) against pathogen surface monosaccharides using an innovative solid-phase approach. These nanoMIPs can serve as robust and selective artificial lectins specific to one particular monosaccharide. The evaluation of their binding capabilities has been implemented against bacterial cells (E. coli and S. pneumoniae) as model pathogens. The nanoMIPs were produced against two different monosaccharides: mannose (Man), which is present mainly on the surface of Gram-negative bacteria, and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) exposed on the surface of the majority of bacteria. Herein, we assessed the potential use of nanoMIPs for pathogen cell imaging and detection via flow cytometry and confocal microscopy.

Water-Soluble Molecularly Imprinted Nanoparticle Receptors with Hydrogen-Bond-Assisted Hydrophobic Binding.

Project description:Molecularly imprinted nanoparticles (MINPs) were prepared when surfactants with a tripropargylammonium headgroup and a methacrylate-functionalized hydrophobic tail were cross-linked in the micelle form on the surface and in the core in the presence of hydrophobic template molecules. With the surfactants containing an amide bond near the headgroup, the MINPs had a layer of hydrogen-bonding groups in the interior that strongly influenced their molecular recognition. Templates/guests with strong hydrogen-bonding groups in the midsection of the molecule benefited most, especially if the hydrophobe of the template could penetrate the amide layer to reach the hydrophobic core of the cross-linked micelles. The location and the orientation of the hydrophilic groups were also important, as they determined how the template interacted with the surfactant micelles and, ultimately, with the MINP receptors.

Synthetic lectins for selective binding of glycoproteins in water.

Project description:Although synthetic mimics of lectins can be extremely useful in biological and biomedical research, molecular recognition of carbohydrates has been hampered by their strong solvation in water and subtle structural differences among analogues. Molecularly imprinted nanoparticle receptors were prepared with glycans directly cleaved from glycoproteins. Functionalized with boroxole groups in the binding sites, these water-soluble synthetic lectins bound the parent glycoproteins selectively in water with an association constant of Ka = 104-105 M-1. The strong binding enabled the receptors to protect the targeted glycans from enzymatic cleavage. When clicked onto magnetic nanoparticles, the receptors enabled facile isolation of glycoproteins from a mixture.

Selective vancomycin detection using optical fibre long period gratings functionalised with molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles.

Project description:An optical fibre long period grating (LPG) sensor modified with molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) for the specific detection of antibiotics is presented. The operation of the sensor is based on the measurement of changes in refractive index induced by the interaction of nanoMIPs deposited onto the cladding of the LPG with free vancomycin (VA). The binding of nanoMIPs to vancomycin was characterised by a binding constant of 4.3 ± 0.1 × 10(-8) M. The lowest concentration of analyte measured by the fibre sensor was 10 nM. In addition, the sensor exhibited selectivity, as much smaller responses were obtained for high concentrations (∼700 μM) of other commonly prescribed antibiotics such as amoxicillin, bleomycin and gentamicin. In addition, the response of the sensor was characterised in a complex matrix, porcine plasma, spiked with 10 μM of VA.
