Abstract
Abstract The invention provides an imprinted matrix which exhibits selective binding interactions through metal chelates with a predetermined molecule or biological particle. Also provided is a preformed, fluid-imprinted matrix having sufficient rigidity to maintain selective binding interaction with a predetermined molecule or biological particle through interactive moieties. Methods for producing such matrices are additionally provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A composition of matter which selectively binds to one or more functional groups present at spaced locations on the surface of a template molecule, said composition comprising: an imprinted matrix comprising a polymer structure which is spatially matched to the surface of said template molecule; one or more interactive moieties located on said polymer at spaced locations which are complementary to said functional groups of said template molecule, said interactive moieties comprising chelated metals wherein said chelated metals are located so as to undergo selective binding interactions with said functional groups to thereby provide selective binding of said composition of matter to said template molecule.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A composition of matter which selectively binds to one or more functional groups present at spaced locations on the surface of a template molecule, said composition comprising: an imprinted matrix comprising a polymer structure which is spatially matched to the surface of said template molecule; one or more interactive moieties located on said polymer at spaced locations which are complementary to said functional groups of said template molecule, said interactive moieties comprising chelated metals wherein said chelated metals are located so as to undergo selective binding interactions with said functional groups to thereby provide selective binding of said composition of matter to said template molecule.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
A composition of matter according to claim 1 wherein said imprinted matrix is spatially matched to the source of a template molecule comprising a macromolecule, said macromolecule including functional groups and wherein said interactive moieties are located at spaced locations on said imprinted matrix which are complementary to the functional groups present on said macromolecule.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
A composition of matter according to claim 1 wherein said imprinted matrix is spatially matched to the surface of a template molecule comprising a cell or virus, said cell or virus including functional groups and wherein said interactive moieties are located at spaced locations on said imprinted matrix which are complementary to the functional groups present on said macromolecule.
