Corona phase molecular recognition (CoPhMoRe) involves the deposition of a heteropolymer onto a nanoparticle surface, providing a recognition site for a given analyte. Here, the authors show that CoPhMoRe can be used to selectively detect proteins (fibrinogen) with high selectivity, including in a complex serum environment.
