title: Monitoring of cAMP-imprinted polymer by fluorescence spectroscopy.
abstract: Conventional functional monomers together with fluorescent monomer, trans-4-[p-(N,N-dimethylamino)styryl]-N-vinylbenzylpyridinium chloride (vb-DMASP), were copolymerised in the presence of a target molecule, nucleotide-cAMP that acted as a molecular template. The polymer was copolymerised in thin-layer films. After removal of the template the functionalised cavities that exist in the fluorescent material are able to specifically bind the template. Subsequent adsorption of the template-cAMP causes quenching of fluorescence of the polymer. The specific photochemical processes accompanying the template adsorption are discussed further. The imprinted polymers monitored by both steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques show specificity and selectivity of binding of the template on the imprinted functionalised cavities.
