Abstract: The binding of -Boc-phenylalanine anilide (BFA) and -Boc-phenylalanine (phe) to molecularly imprinted and non-imprinted polymer nanoparticles consisting of poly[(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate)-co-(methacrylic acid)] has been investigated by adsorption experiments and mathematical modeling. The experimental isotherms have been mathematically adapted following the models of Freundlich, Langmuir, Langmuir-Freundlich, Bi-Langmuir, and extended Langmuir. The extended Langmuir model differentiated between specific and nonspecific binding of the ligand to the receptor nanoparticles and rendered excellent fitting of the experimental data. It delivered a thermodynamic and kinetic parameter set on the experimental association curves of -BFA by -BFA-imprinted nanospheres in suspension experiments with the equilibrium constant KD=4.09+/-0.69 μmol L-1 and the kinetic association rate constant ka=5.60 mL μmol-1 min-1
