In this work, PtCu bimetallic nanoparticle was deposited on poly (styrene sulfonate) (PSS) functionalized graphene (Gr) to form a nanocomposite PtCu/PSS-Gr and its enzyme-like activity was investigated. Benefiting from the synergistic effect from Pt and Cu monometal as well as the superior properties of PSS-Gr, such as large surface area, good dispersity, strong adsorption of substrate and additional peroxidase-like activity, the PtCu/PSS-Gr nanocomposite was demonstrated as an excellent peroxidase mimic to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of HO. Combined with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), a new colorimetric approach for puerarin detection was proposed with the linear range of 2 × 10-6 × 10 mol L and LOD of 1 × 10 mol L. The combination of MIP with PtCu/PSS-Gr nanocomposite not only endowed the determination of puerarin with high selectivity, but also realized the detection of small molecules which are neither substrate of the nanozyme nor substances with strong oxidizing or reducing activity by using peroxidase-like catalytic activity of nanozyme, expanding the application of nanozyme.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) have gained prominence as synthetic receptors, combining simplicity of synthesis with robust molecular recognition akin to antibodies and enzymes. One of their main application areas is chemical sensing. However, direct integration of MIPs with nanostructured transducers, crucial for enhancing sensing capabilities and broadening MIPs sensing applications, remains limited.

Designing single-template molecularly imprinted chiral sensors for the enantioselective recognition of various chiral amino acids (AAs) is of great importance for chiral analysis. Here, a dummy template-based chiral sensor is developed by using l-alanine (l-Ala) as the dummy template and poly(-phenylenediamine) as the imprinting layer, which can be used for the enantioselective recognition of various chiral AAs such as Ala, tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), cysteine (Cys), and arginine (Arg). Compared with conventional single-template molecularly imprinted chiral sensors, the designed single-template chiral sensor shows great universality for the recognition of chiral AAs since all chiral AAs possess an Ala-analogous segment.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are typically synthesized in organic solvents, leading to poor compatibility with water, weak affinity and selectivity for target molecules in aqueous media. To address these challenges, a green and sustainable synthesis of sandwich bread-like ATP@MIP was conducted using polyethylenimide (PEI) and deep eutectic solvent (DES) as hydrophilic bi-functional monomers via layer-by-layer self-assembly on the attapulgite (ATP) carrier. The new ATP@MIP can provide a higher density of imprinting sites with more orderly and uniform distribution due to inhibiting the competitive polymerization between PEI and DES, thereby significantly enhancing recognition ability.

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is the leading cause of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease development. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-mimic system for sensitive and specific oxLDL determination was developed using selective aptamer-molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (AP-MIP NP) coupled with an immunology-based colorimetric assay. The AP-MIP NP were synthesized using solid-phase molecular imprinting by incorporating aptamers into the MIP NP cavities.
