Epitope-imprinted mesoporous silica nanoparticles for specific recognition of tyrosine phosphorylation

Abstract

Tyrosine phosphorylation regulates the upstream signaling pathway but accounts for less than 0.1% of total phosphorylation in human cells. Herein, molecularly imprinted mesoporous materials were first synthesized to recognize the phosphorylated tyrosine residue from other phosphorylated residues.
