Composite imprinted nanoparticles that contain a catalytic core and which are synthesized by using a solid-phase approach can simultaneously act as recognition/signaling elements, and be used with minimal modifications to standard assay protocols. This assay provides a new route towards replacement of unstable biomolecules in immunoassays SN - 1613-6829 DO - 10.1002/smll.201301996 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/smll.201301996 ER -
