In this paper we report a method for the synthesis of molecular imprinted polymers for use in sample preparation with aqueous biological materials. Highly cross-linked bulk polymers were synthesized in the presence of the template molecule, 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (DPA) using acrylamide (ACD) and 4-vinylpyridine (VP) as functional monomers. Conditions are described for the optimization of the template complex with temperature, copolymer mixture and crosslinker type. Selective binding of the template molecule is demonstrated in comparison to structural isomers and analogs for molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) synthesized with three different crosslinkers, ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), bisacrylamide and N,N'-1,3-phenylene bismethacrylamide (PBMA). The chromatographic capacity factors and selectivities for a series of structural analogs were compared. Molecular imprinted polymers prepared with equimolar ratios of ACD and VP and either PBMA or bisacrylamide resulted in highly selective binding for the template versus analogs with similar structure and chemistry. Multiple molecular dissociation constants were measured with the maximum binding capacities for EGDMA, PBMA and bisacrylamide measuring 17, 27 and 90 micromol/g, respectively.

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process that results in parent-of-origin effects on mammalian development and growth. Research on genomic imprinting in domesticated animals has lagged due to a primary focus on orthologs of mouse and human imprinted genes. This emphasis has limited the discovery of imprinted genes specific to livestock.

A novel strategy for cytochrome c selective recognition assisted with cucurbit[6]uril by host-guest interaction via N-terminal epitope imprinting and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was developed. N-terminal nonapeptide of cytochrome c (GI-9) was used as the epitope template to achieve highly selective recognition of cytochrome c. As a common supramolecule in recent years, cucurbit[6]uril can encapsulate the butyrammonium group of lysine residue to capture the peptide and improve the corresponding spatial orientation by the host-guest interaction for GI-9 or cytochrome c recognition.

Indoprofen (INP) comprises two enantiomers, R- and S-, whose high pharmacological efficacy is realized only in the case of the separated enantiomers. A newly synthesized poly(acrylonitrile-co-divinylbenzene) (PANB)-based sorbent with selective affinity to the S-enantiomer of INP was applied to separate INP racemate. The synthesis was performed by suspension polymerization with low-crosslinked PANB microparticles and by reaction of the inserted nitriles with 1-amino-1H-pyrrole-2,5‑dione (Ma-NH).

Purpose Of Review: Prader-Willi (PWS) and Angelman (AS) syndromes arise from errors in 15q11-q13 imprinting. This review describes recent advances in genomics and how these expand our understanding of these rare disorders, guiding treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.
Recent Findings: PWS features include severe infantile hypotonia, failure to thrive, hypogonadism, developmental delay, behavioral and psychiatric features, hyperphagia, and morbid obesity, if unmanaged.

In the present study, a novel voltammetric sensor based on a boron-doped copper oxide/graphene (B-CuO-Gr) nanocomposite and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was developed for the detection of paclobutrazol (PAC) in apple and orange juice samples. The B-CuO-Gr nanocomposite was prepared using sol-gel and calcination methods. After modifying glassy carbon electrodes with the B-CuO-Gr nanocomposite, PAC-imprinted electrodes were prepared in the presence of 100.
