Impressing models : A novel polymer catalyst shows even higher catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of carbonates than catalytic antibodies prepared for the same purpose. The catalyst was prepared by molecular imprinting with a stable transition state analogue and the introduction of an amidinium function and a Zn 2+ ion in the active site in a defined orientation (see picture).
