Overcoming the intrinsic low activity of most photoinduced oxidase mimics has been extremely challenging. In this work, we developed a methyl viologen (MV) mediated strategy to enhance the oxidase-like activity of fluorescein. The presence of MV gives it a high affinity for TMB with a low Michaelis-Menten constant (K) of 0.053 mM, which is about 2.8 times lower than that of fluorescein and with a remarkable catalytic constant (K) as 0.2490 s, which is 3 times as high as that of fluorescein. Fluorescein diacetate (FDA) without oxidase-like activity can be hydrolyzed in situ to produce fluorescein in the presence of carboxylesterases (CaE). Based on the inhibition of CaE activity by organophosphorus pesticides (OP), a novel colorimetric signal biosensor was established with a wide linear range from 1.0 to 200 ng/mL. This work not only provides a convenient and feasible strategy for enhancing the activity of photoinduced oxidase mimics but also blazes a new pathway for the sensitive detection of OP.

Long-term inflammation and persistent bacterial infection are primary contributors to unhealed chronic wounds. The use of conventional antibiotics often leads to bacteria drug resistance, diminishing wound healing effectiveness. Nanozymes have become a promising alternative to antimicrobial materials due to their low cost, easy synthesis, and good stability.

The multiple enzymatic properties of the Au-modified metal-organic framework (Au-MOFs) have made it a functional catalytic system for antitumor treatment. However, in the face of insufficient catalytic substrates in tumor tissue, it is still impossible to achieve efficient treatment of tumors. Herein, Au-MOFs loaded with hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified calcium peroxide nanoparticles (CaO NPs) were used to construct a nanozyme (Au-MOF/CaO/HA) for substrate self-supplied and parallel catalytic/calcium-overload-mediated therapy of cancer.

Antioxidants are vital components in various food, plant, and pharmacological products, making their quantitative, selective, and straightforward assessment essential for evaluating product quality and health benefits. Nanozymes, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with enzyme-like catalytic activity, hold significant potential for developing highly efficient antioxidant sensing platforms. This is due to their large specific surface area, low density, high porosity, structural diversity, and adjustable pore size.

Nitrogen doping emerges as a potent approach to enhance the oxidase-like activity of carbon nanozymes. However, the unclear knowledge of the active nitrogen species within nitrogen-doped carbon nanozymes hinders the advancement of high-performance carbon nanozymes. Herein, a group of nitrogen-doped carbon (N/C) nanozymes with controllable nitrogen dopants are successfully synthesized via a dicyandiamide-assisted pyrolysis method.

Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with excellent biological catalytic activity have emerged as promising candidates for advancing biomedical applications. Herein, we synthesized a RuN-SAzyme by thermal decomposition. In experiments, the RuN-SAzyme demonstrated exceptional catalytic efficiency in mimicking the activity of peroxidase, with a Michaelis-Menten constant () for 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine reaching 0.
