Abstract: Molecular recognition plays an important role in diagnostics, catalysis, separation, and drug development. For years these tasks have been entrusted to antibodies, but recently some viable alternatives are starting to emerge. This review provides a brief overview of natural and synthetic recognition systems, highlighting their advantages and drawbacks. Examples of synthetic receptors include aptamers, engineered proteins, and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). The focus of the present work is on the development and application of a novel class of synthetic receptors - MIP nanoparticles (''plastic antibodies'').
