Density Functional Theory calculations have been used to select, among a set of chemicals traditionally used in the formulation of non-covalent molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), the best functional monomer and porogenic solvent for the construction of a recognition element for the dopamine metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA). Theoretical predictions were confirmed through batch binding assays and voltammetric detection. The computational method predicts that trifluoromethacrylic acid and toluene are the monomer and solvent rendering the highest stabilization energy for the pre-polymerization adducts. HVA-MIP prepared using this formulation gives rise to a binding isotherm that is accurately modelled by the Freundlich isotherm. The binding properties of this polymer were estimated using affinity distribution analysis. An apparent number of sites of 13 mu mol g(-1) with an average affinity constant of 2 x 10(4) M-1 was obtained in the concentration window studied. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.. All rights reserved.
