Designed polymer nanoparticles (NPs) capable of binding and neutralizing a
biomacromolecular toxin are prepared. A library of copolymer NPs is synthesized from
combinations of functional monomers. The binding capacity and affinity of the NPs are
individually analyzed. NPs with optimized composition are capable of neutralizing the toxin
even in a complex biological milieu. It is anticipated that this strategy will be a starting point
for the design of synthetic alternatives to antibodies.
