In the present study, the developed imprinted polymeric nanoparticles were characterized in terms of particles size and distribution by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and the imprinting effect and selectivity were investigated by performing binding experiments using the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the novel coronavirus and the RBD of SARS-CoV spike protein, respectively. In this context, our idea is to develop "monoclonal-type" plastic antibodies based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) for the selective recognition and binding of the RBD of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in the aim to block the function of its spike protein (Figure 1.) . ./cache/cord-318253-vp22xd8p.txt ./txt/cord-318253-vp22xd8p.txt
