Some recent developments in the preparation of novel recognition systems: A recognition site for the selective catalysis of an aldol condensation using molecular imprinting and specific affinity motifs for α-chymotrypsin using a phage display peptide libr

Abstract
Molecular imprinting and phage display library technologies are rapidly being accepted as useful techniques for the generation of ligand‐selective recognition motifs. The use of molecular imprinting to produce a novel type II aldolase mimic selective for the cobalt(II)‐mediated aldol condensation of benzophenone and acetaldehyde is reported here. Furthermore, peptide motifs have been identified which are acting as 'affinity ligands' selective for the recognition of the enzyme α‐chymotrypsin using phage display techniques.
