- Summary:
The invention consists of the procedure of preparation of a polymer film molecularly imprinted with protein preparation and the method of its application for preparation of a chemosensor capable of selective determination of this protein. First, an inner polymer film with immobilized protein is deposited. Next, an outer polymer film of the bis(2,2'-bithien-5-yl)methylbenzoic acid monomer is electrochemically deposited around the protein forming a layer of the polymer molecularly imprinted with the protein. After subsequent protein extraction, so prepared polymer film is used as a recognition unit of a chemosensor. As an example of invention application, a chemosensor capable of myoglobin determination was prepared. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used as the transduction technique in this chemosensor.
