Oxidase-mimicking nanozymes are more desirable than peroxidase-mimicking ones since H O can be omitted. However, only a few nanomaterials are known for oxidase-like activities. In this work, we compared the activity of Mn O , Mn O and MnO and found that Mn O had the highest oxidase activity. Interestingly, the activity of Mn O was even inhibited by H O . The oxidase-like activity of Mn O was not much affected by the presence of proteins such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), but the physisorption of antibodies to Mn O was not strong enough to withstand the displacement by BSA. We then treated Mn O with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to graft an amine group, which was used to conjugate antibodies using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker. A one-step indirect competitive ELISA (icELISA) was developed for the detection of isocarbophos, and an IC of 261.7 ng/mL was obtained, comparable with the results of the standard two-step assay using horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled antibodies. This assay has the advantage of significant timesaving for rapid detection of large amounts of samples. This work has discovered a highly efficient oxidase-mimicking nanozyme useful for various nano- and analytical applications.

A HPU-23@Ru@Tb-NH sensor array with light-driven oxidase-mimicking activity and triple-emission fluorescence was developed. It was composed of a Tb-functionalized metal organic framework and Ru(bpy) and applied to the simultaneous detection of Hg, ClO, and PO via differently responsive channels. HPU-23@Ru@Tb-NH had a photoresponsive colorimetric response toward Hg with a LOD as low as 4.

Paper-based microfluidic analytical devices (μPADs) have become promising alternatives to clinical laboratory-based methods for point-of-care testing (POCT) of biomarkers in family care and resource-limited communities. Here, Co-doped carbon dots (Co-CDs) nanozyme with outstanding oxidase-mimicking catalytic activity and red fluorescent emission were prepared, and combined adhered-3D μPAD (A-3D μPAD) to monitor facilely alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level in whole blood samples. Co-CDs catalyzed the oxidization of nonfluorescent o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into 2,3-diaminophenazine (oxOPD) with yellow fluorescent emission due to the generation of tremendous O species.

Three in one: A multifunctional oxidase-mimicking Ag/MnO nanozyme for colorimetric determination, precise identification, and broad-spectrum inactivation of foodborne pathogenic bacteria.

A multifunctional oxidase-mimicking Ag/MnO was prepared, catalyzing the 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) chromogenic reaction. Six foodborne pathogenic bacteria species, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, and Cronobacter sakazakii, were observed to differentially inhibit its oxidase-like activity, resulting in decelerating the TMB chromogenic reaction. Owing to these properties, the following achievements were achieved: colorimetric determination of these bacteria with high sensitivity can be achieved using Ag/MnO + TMB reaction system; precise identification of these bacteria at different concentrations, including individual bacterium, binary mixtures, and even multivariate mixtures, can be effectively realized by combining the Ag/MnO-based colorimetric sensor array with principal component analysis (PCA); broad-spectrum inactivation of these bacteria can be remarkably realized through catalyzation of Ag/MnO to generate superoxide anion free radicals.

Article Synopsis
  • Redox imbalance and oxidative stress are linked to serious health issues like neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and premature aging, making accurate detection of antioxidants important for managing these conditions.
  • This study introduces a new fluorescence-based assay that uses dithiothreitol (DTT)-assisted gold nanoclusters (DTT@BSA-AuNCs) to detect antioxidant levels more effectively than traditional methods, which often miss thiol-containing antioxidants.
  • The assay can identify antioxidants like ascorbic acid and glutathione at very low concentrations and has proven effective in human saliva and cancer cell models, offering a reliable and cost-effective way to monitor oxidative stress in various diseases.

Multi-Enzyme Mimetic MoCu Dual-Atom Nanozyme Triggering Oxidative Stress Cascade Amplification for High-Efficiency Synergistic Cancer Therapy.

Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with ultrahigh atom utilization efficiency have been extensively applied in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cancer therapy. However, the high energy barriers of reaction intermediates on single-atom sites and the overexpressed antioxidants in the tumor microenvironment restrict the amplification of tumor oxidative stress, resulting in unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we report a multi-enzyme mimetic MoCu dual-atom nanozyme (MoCu DAzyme) with various catalytic active sites, which exhibits peroxidase, oxidase, glutathione (GSH) oxidase, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase mimicking activities.
