Abstract

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are interesting for potential-regulated trafficking of molecules. In this study, we investigate the binding properties of l-glutamate (Glu) in molecularly imprinted polypyrrole (MIPPy) in neutral pH solutions. We prepared MIPPy by electrochemically depositing Glu-doped polypyrrole and subsequently overoxidizing the polymer. By means of immunofluorescence microscopy analysis of MIPPy using specific anti-Glu antibodies, we demonstrate binding of Glu in MIPPy. Visual imaging of the samples allows us to easily discern between selective and non-selective interactions. Significant fluorescence is observed from MIPPy incubated in solutions containing Glu, while control MIPPy samples imprinted with Cl
