Inventors:Piletsky SA, Piletska OV, Elska GV, Andersson HS, Nicholls IA, Turner APF Patent Title: Molecularly imprinted polymers produced by template polymerization Publication date:2005 Publication number: US6,852,818 Abstract: A polymer (e.g. a peptide) is produced by polymerizing monomers in the presence of a template, particularly a biologically active molecule or sample. The polymer is extracted and a soluble (preferably water-soluble) fraction is derived which specifically binds the template. Thus it can have complementary activity (e.g. biological). Applications include therapy, detection systems and separation systems. URL: http://v3.espacenet.com/textdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=US6852818&F=0
