Abstract
In order to find an alternative biosensor material which enables to detect the glucose level, therefore in this study, the interaction between Methacrylic Acid (MAA) based Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (MIP) with D-Glucose is investigated using the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The aim of this study is to determine whether a molecule of the MAA can be functioned as a bio-sensing of glucose. In this calculation, the Gaussian 09 with B3LYP and 631+G(d) basis sets is used to calculate all electronic properties. It is found that the interaction between a molecule of MAA and a molecule of D-Glucose was observed through the shortened distance between the two molecules. The binding energy of MAA/D-glucose and the Mulliken population analysis are investigated for checking possible interaction. From analysis, the MAA based MIP can be used as a bio-sensing material.
