Molecular
Imprinting Technology and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs); Covalent,
semi-covalent and non-covalent imprinting approaches; Production methods of
MIPs such as monolith, precipitation, solid phase, covalent attachment,
metal-coordination; MIPs as recognition elements in many fields from
environmental toxicology to medical diagnostics; Major differences between
small and large target imprinting; Application areas of MIPs; Use of molecular
modelling approaches to improve the success of MIPs while decreasing the
required cost and time; SYBLY and VMD/NAMD computational programs for virtual
screening of a compound of interest to be imprinted. The course will
be taught in English.
