| abstract |
The present invention refers to new classes of polymerisable monomers targeting biotin, a biotin derivative, a biotin analogue or a biotinylated molecule and related structures, as well as molecularly imprinted polymers obtainable by polymerisation of at least one of these monomers and at least one cross-linking monomer in the presence of a suitable template molecule. The obtained polymers may be used for separation of biotin and related small molecules, together with larger biotinylated molecules of biological origin, e.g. proteins, from complex mixtures. |
