Abstract:
A method for evaluating an artificial receptor, comprising the steps of:subjecting a functional monomer and a crosslinker in the presence of a first template substance in at least one vessel to polymerization, thereby forming a resultant polymer with the template substance;dissociating the template substance from the polymer and removing the template substance from the at least one vessel by washing an inside of the at least one vessel, thereby preparing an artificial receptor;feeding a solution of a second template substance, which may be the same or different than the above first template substance, into the at least one vessel to associate the second template substance with the artificial receptor; and thenmeasuring an amount of the unassociated second template substance remaining in the at least one vessel and evaluating the artificial receptor on affinity and selectivity to the second template substance on the basis of a determination result.
