About
Yee-Fung Lin is a pioneering researcher in peptide chemistry and molecular imprinting, whose work bridges synthetic methodology and materials science. Her key research areas include on-surface peptide cyclization, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), and the development of non-covalent auxiliary systems for biomolecular synthesis. Lin’s most notable contribution is the invention of a robotic system for homodetic tetrapeptide cyclization, achieved by fabricating molecularly imprinted polymeric films on cellulose paper (MIFC). This innovative approach uses MIPs as non-covalent auxiliaries to guide and stabilize cyclization reactions directly on a surface, eliminating the need for traditional protecting groups and simplifying purification. Her seminal 2009 paper on this topic has garnered 5 citations, reflecting its niche but significant impact on peptide engineering and solid-phase synthesis. Lin’s work is particularly valuable for researchers exploring sustainable, template-directed methods in peptide chemistry and for those interested in integrating molecular imprinting with automated synthesis platforms. Her achievements demonstrate a creative fusion of polymer chemistry and biochemistry, offering a versatile tool for constructing cyclic peptides with potential applications in drug discovery and biomaterials.
