Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are synthetic receptors with tailor-made recognition sites for the target molecules. Their high molecular recognition ability, good stability, easy preparation, and low cost make them highly promising substitutes for biological receptors. Recent years have witnessed rapidly increasing interest in the imprinting of biomacromolecules and especially proteins because of the great potential of these MIPs in such applications as proteome analysis, clinical diagnostics, and biomedicine. So far, some useful strategies have been developed for the imprinting of proteins and controlled radical polymerization techniques have proven highly versatile for such purpose. This mini-review describes recent developments in the controlled preparation of proteins-imprinted polymers via such advanced polymerization techniques.

One of the most promising separation techniques that have emerged during the last decade is based on the use of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). MIPs are stable polymers that possess specific cavities designed for a template molecule, endowed with excellent selectivity compared to regular solid phase extraction techniques. Molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) has already shown a high efficiency for the sample preparation from complex matrices. Natural products received huge attention in recent years. Indeed, the application of MISPE for the screening of natural products appears extremely interesting not only for the selective extraction of a target compound but also for the concomitant discovery of new drug candidates, promising sources of therapeutic benefits. In the present review, examples of recognition and separation of active components from natural extracts are emphasized. MIPs are very promising materials to mimic the recognition characteristics exhibited by enzymes or receptors although further developments are necessary to fully exploit their wide potential.

Immunoassay is one of the most popular analytical methods with widespread applications. However, it presents several drawbacks because of the proteic nature of the antibodies. Molecular imprinting technology has shown a growing ability to prepare artificial molecular recognition systems, with binding properties very similar to those of natural antibodies. This review deals with the application of molecular imprinting technology to immunoassay, with an attention for the state of the art, the current limitations and the possible solutions to these issues.
