New Molecularly Imprinted Polymer and Method for its Production
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of producing molecularly imprinted polymers, the method comprising the following steps:
- selecting a template molecule,providing at least two starter oligonucleotides each linked to a functional group and wherein said at least two starter oligonucleotides being the same or different,bringing the template molecule in contact with the functional groups each linked to said starter oligonucleotides allowing the functional groups to bind to the template molecule,adding a single stranded oligo- or polynucleotide library allowing the oligo- or polynucleotides of the library showing complementarity to the starter oligonucleotides linked to the functional groups to hybridize in order to form a complex between said at least two starter oligonucleotides and a oligo- or polynucleotide from the library,forming a complementary strand by a polymerizing reaction wherein the starter oligonucleotides linked to the functional groups serve as primers and thereby forming a nucleotide based double-stranded polymer, andremoving the template molecule leaving the functional groups in spatial and binding complementarity towards the accessible binding sites of the template molecule.

- 10. A molecularly imprinted polymer characterized in that said molecularly imprinted polymer comprises functional groups that are in spatial and binding complementarity towards binding sites of a template molecule corresponding to the template molecule that was used when the molecularly imprinted polymer was produced, and said functional groups are connected by polymerized nucleotides.
