Recruitment of enzyme activity in albumin by molecular imprinting
The catalytic activity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) modified physically by molecular imprinting using transition-state analogue (TSA) as a template molecule was studied. The resultant imprinted serum albumin (Imp-BSA) showed the rate acceleration of dehydrofluorination reaction from (4R,4S)-4-fluoro-4-(4-nitrophenyl)butan-2-one (1) and followed the type of Michaelis-Menten reaction in ethyl acetate solution. The enzymatic activity of Imp-BSA was competitively inhibited by (4R,4S)-4-hydroxy-4-(4-nitrophenyl)butan-2-one (4).
