Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have attracted many attentions from chemists and biologists. Their fairly high affinity and selectivity to the print molecules made them potential materials that might be widely used in many different disciplines. In this article

a brief review over the development of molecular imprinting technology was given

and special attentions were gone to both the preparation of biological macromolecule imprinted polymers and the phenomenon of molecular recognition happened in aqueous media with imprinted polymer. Although some difficulties still existed in the study of molecularly imprinted polymer

more achievements would be made in the near future.
