Abstract: Novel gas-responsive imprinting hydrogels were fabricated by combining N,N'-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate gas-sensitive monomers, N,N'-methylenebis(acrylamide) cross-linkers, and human serum albumin (HSA) template proteins via a free radical polymerization. The hydrogel exhibited a reversible gas-responsive property upon N2/CO2 exchange. This result was supported by the evidences from hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. By applying this property to sensing application, a CO2-responsive imprinted biosensor was originally designed on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. The biosensor exhibited unique self-clean and self-recognition properties toward HSA proteins based on reversible conformational changes driven by N2/CO2 stimuli. Moreover, the proposed imprinted biosensor favored HSA proteins by showing satisfactory sensitivity and selectivity and a wider detection range with a low detection limit. As a rare example in imprint sensing, the biosensor was successfully applied to the HSA extraction from complex serum samples. With gas stimuli, the whole process was efficient, controllable, and harmless to the proteins. Thus, the developed biosensor may provide a new prospect in molecularly imprinted sensing applications
