We examine a method to mimic active sites in proteins by chemical imprinting of p-valent templates in heteropolymer gels. Previous studies have confirmed successful formation of sites by adsorption of targets with p >/= 2 contacts. We investigate the recovery of sites with p = 2 imprinted by lead methacrylate Pb(MAAc)(2) (placing two carboxyl groups in close proximity). The improved binding ability of gels with more cross-links, and the relative insensitivity to changes in gel volume contradict simple theory. We conclude that adsorber pairs are predominantly located on the same polymer chain, posing a challenge to mimicking protein-like function.
我们研究了一种通过在杂聚物凝胶中对p价模板进行化学印迹来模拟蛋白质活性位点的方法。先前的研究已证实,当p≥2个接触点时,通过靶标的吸附成功形成了位点。我们研究了由甲基丙烯酸铅Pb(MAAc)₂印迹的p = 2的位点的恢复情况(将两个羧基紧密放置)。交联更多的凝胶具有更高的结合能力,并且对凝胶体积变化相对不敏感,这与简单理论相矛盾。我们得出结论,吸附剂对主要位于同一聚合物链上,这对模拟蛋白质样功能构成了挑战。
