Molecular imprinted biofunctional device

Abstract

An apparatus and method are disclosed for a biofunctional molecular imprint medical device configured to remain in permanent or temporary contact with a body comprising a supportive structure, a surface material that receives and retains a molecular imprint and that is positioned to contact a body tissue or other substance during use, a molecular imprint of a bioactive molecule wherein an imprinted cavity is of a bioactive molecule that catalyzes the promotion or suppression biological processes and at least one of a semiconductor, a nanoparticle quantum dot, a nano-island, and a quantum wire, wherein the nanoparticle quantum dot, nano-island, or quantum wire produces an electron wave function configuration that dynamically reconfigures the electron charge distribution within the molecular imprint, enabling tuning of the imprinted cavity.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
