After the selective molecular recognition property of
MWCNT-MIP was confirmed, its selective inhibitory response
for ChT was further investigated. Trypsin was selected as a
control enzyme. Trypsin is also a serine protease with sim-
ilar molecular weight and isoelectric point compared to ChT.

Some basic residues, for example, Lys , Lys , Arg and Arg ,
distribute over the trypsin surface.[ Obviously, MWCNT could
deactivate trypsin (Figure 4b). In marked contrast, MWCNT-
MIP only showed slight inhibitory activity towards trypsin.
This observation can be explained by the fact that the recogni-
tion cavities within MIP layer do not fit the size and shape of
trypsin. The inhibition studies above expressly verify that the
selective feature of the nanoparticle inhibitor is significantly
improved when combined with molecular imprinting.

In conclusion, we have developed a novel type of selective
artificial enzyme inhibitors based on nanoparticle-enzyme
interactions and molecular imprinting. Nanoparticles, such as
MWCNT, are considered as non-selective inhibitors towards
enzymes, given that the electrostatic interactions are mainly
contributed to the enzyme inhibition. By taking advantage of
the selective molecular recognition property of MIPs, MWCNT-
MIP has been proved to exhibit significantly enhanced selec-
tivity of the enzyme inhibition compared with MWCNT itself.
Our approach appears to be more general than that for recently
reported selective inhibitors. It requires only a proper nano-
particle inhibitor for the target enzyme, and could be easily
expanded to other enzymes by changing the surface modifi-
cations of nanoparticles. Moreover, nanoparticle-MIP can be
simply fabricated by coating a nanoscale MIP layer on the sur-
face of nanoparticle. And there is no requirement for the pre-
cise knowledge of the crystal structure of the target enzyme.

quantum dots and SiO , can be also developed as nanoparticle-

MIP inhibitors to overcome the problem of the potential toxicity
of carbon nanotubes. Taken together, these features suggest
that the proposed approach would represent a novel and gen-
eral way to pursue selective enzyme inhibition. Meanwhile, it
has implications for the future design and development of new
enzyme inhibitors as drug candidates for clinical therapeutics.
