  • Molecularly imprinted polymer
    Patent number: 8086415
    Abstract: A computer aided rational molecular design method that includes establishing a virtual library of functional monomers each having a portion that is capable of polymerizing and a functional group that is capable of interacting with a template molecule with the aid of a computer, designing a molecular model of a biological template molecule by a computer facilitated molecular mechanical method and screening said virtual library of functional monomers and selecting those monomers which have the highest binding score to the template molecule by their functional group.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 1, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 27, 2011
    Assignee: Cranfield University
    Inventors: Beining Chen, Richard Michael Day, Sreenath Subrahmanyam, Sergiy Anatoliyovich Piletsky, Olena Volodimirivna Piletska, Anthony Peter Francis Turner
  • RATIONALLY DESIGNED SELECTIVE BINDING POLYMERS
    Publication number: 20100009859
    Abstract: A polymer able to bind a target compound selectively is designed by producing a virtual library of polymerisable monomers, and molecular models of the target compound and one or more potential interferents. The library is screened to identify monomers with substantial differences in strengths of binding to (a) target and (b) interferent. Monomers favouring the target may be used to produce polymers for selectively binding the target, for use in separation or analytical processes.

  • Molecularly imprinted polymer
    Publication number: 20030134296
    Abstract: To facilitate preparation of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) which specifically binds a particular template substance, a virtual library of functional monomers is screened to find those that interact strongly with a molecular model of the substance. A selected few are then “annealed” with the substance in a computer simulation. This shows the optimum ratios of template substance to individual monomers. An appropriate mixture of monomers is then polymerised in the presence of the template to produce a MIP.
