Abstract

Natural antibody-based biosensors have some disadvantages such as low stability and high production cost. Therefore, innovative engineered materials with higher selectivity and sensitivity are needed for the recognition of the desired compound. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), also called “plastic antibodies,” are a kind of materials having 3D cavities (shape of the target compound), binding groups, and exhibit high binding affinity and selectivity toward the desired compound. MIPs as plastic antibodies have gained great attention in biosensor applications in the past decades since they are stable, cheap, robust, and selective. This chapter aims to summarize and highlight the recent progresses in the field of nanobiosensor platforms based on molecular imprinting technique.
