Measurement of plasminogen, the key component of fibrinolysis system, is one of the basic methods for estimation of fibrinolysis. Methods based on the use of chromogenic substrates are often used in diagnosis. Plasminogen measurements are important for laboratory diagnosis of thrombophilia caused by deficiency or abnormalities of this fiber, for detection and evaluation of the DIC syndrome, and for monitoring the treatment by fibrinolytic preparations (streptokinase, t-PA, urokinase, etc.). An original chromogenic substrate having no foreign analogs has been created at Institute of Genetics and Selection of Industrial Microorganisms and Research Center of Hematology (Moscow). Unlike previously described plasmin substrates, pNa has been obtained by microbiological methods with Russian commercial enzymes subtilisine 72 and megaterine. This paper presents the results of plasminogen measurements in patients with DIC with the use of the original chromogenic substrate. The results were compared with those of tests with Berihrom-Plasminogen diagnostic kit (Behringwerke AG).

Optical sensors based on nanozymes have shown great promise for the rapid and sensitive detection of pesticide residues in environmental and food samples. However, their applicability is often limited by a lack of selectivity due to nonspecific enzyme inhibition. Therefore, we developed a colorimetric sensing platform specifically tailored to detect the agricultural fungicide thiophanate-methyl (TpM), leveraging its unique inhibitory effect on nanozyme activity.

Caspase-9 is crucial for initiating apoptosis, and its activity is tightly regulated through various mechanisms, especially phosphorylation by kinases activated by extracellular growth factors, osmotic stress, or during mitosis. Mass spectrometric analyses have shown that residues S302 and S307 in human caspase-9 are prone to phosphorylation. To investigate the effects of phosphorylation at these sites, three phosphomimetic variants of recombinant caspase-9 were created: S302D, S307D, and the combined S302D/S307D variant.

A smartphone-integrated colorimetric sensor is introduced for the rapid and simultaneous detection of kanamycin (KAN) and oxytetracycline (OTC). This sensor relies on the peroxidase-mimicking activity of Fe/Zr Bi-metallic organic frameworks (UIO-66(Fe/Zr)-NH). This Bi-metallic MOF can facilitate the oxidation of a colorless substrate, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), by reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from hydrogen peroxide (HO), resulting in the formation of blue-colored oxidized TMB (ox-TMB).

Carbon dot (CD) nanozymes with excellent biocompatibility, optical properties, and catalytic activity show great promise for microbial detection and drug sensitivity testing. This study reports the synthesis of metal-doped green-emitting CDs with good peroxidase-like activity, which were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal route using thiourea, N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine, and catechol as the starting materials and FeCl as the doping agent. In the presence of HO, CDs catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), producing a blue product; however, in the presence of bacteria and HO, the bacterial catalase enzyme decomposes HO and inhibits the catalytic activity of CDs, preventing the color change.
