[PMID: 38895143 PMCID: PMC11184228 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s460712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Breast and ovarian cancers, despite having chemotherapy and surgical treatment, still have the lowest survival rate. Experimental stages using nanoenzymes/nanozymes for ovarian cancer diagnosis and treatment are being carried out, and correspondingly the current treatment approaches to treat breast cancer have a lot of adverse side effects, which is the reason why researchers and scientists are looking for new strategies with less side effects. Nanoenzymes have intrinsic enzyme-like activities and can reduce the shortcomings of naturally occurring enzymes due to the ease of storage, high stability, less expensive, and enhanced efficiency. In this review, we have discussed various ways in which nanoenzymes are being used to diagnose and treat breast and ovarian cancer. For breast cancer, nanoenzymes and their multi-enzymatic properties can control the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells or tissues, for example, oxidase (OXD) and peroxidase (POD) activity can be used to generate ROS, while catalase (CAT) or superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity can scavenge ROS. In the case of ovarian cancer, most commonly nanoceria is being investigated, and also when folic acid is combined with nanoceria there are additional advantages like inhibition of beta galactosidase. Nanocarriers are also used to deliver small interfering RNA that are effective in cancer treatment. Studies have shown that iron oxide nanoparticles are actively being used for drug delivery, similarly ferritin carriers are used for the delivery of nanozymes. Hypoxia is a major factor in ovarian cancer, therefore MnO2-based nanozymes are being used as a therapy. For cancer diagnosis and screening, nanozymes are being used in sonodynamic cancer therapy for cancer diagnosis and screening, whereas biomedical imaging and folic acid gold particles are also being used for image guided treatments. Nanozyme biosensors have been developed to detect ovarian cancer. This review article summarizes a detailed insight into breast and ovarian cancers in light of nanozymes-based diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation can delay wound healing, eventually leading to tissue necrosis and even cancer. Developing real-time intelligent inflammation monitoring and treatment to achieve effective wound management is important to promote wound healing. In this study, a smart multifunctional hydrogel (Hydrogel@Au NCs&DG) was proposed to monitor and treat the wound inflammation. It was prepared by mixing 3-carboxy-phenylboronic acid modified chitosan (CS-cPBA), β-glycerophosphate (β-GP), albumin-protected gold nanoclusters (BSA-Au NCs), and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate (DG) about 10 s. In this hydrogel, CS-cPBA and β-GP are crosslinked together by boric acid ester bond and hydrogen bond to form the main hydrogel network, endowing the hydrogel with self-healing and injectable properties to adapt irregular wounds. Importantly, the as-prepared hydrogel with good biocompatibility and excellent adhesion property could directly determine the H2O2 to monitor the wound microenvironment by visible fluorescence change of BSA-Au NCs and then guide the frequency of dressing change to eliminate inflammation. The results demonstrated that the as-prepared smart hydrogel could be expected to serve as an intelligent wound dressing to promote inflammation-infected wound healing.

Abstract
The regeneration and repair of diabetic wounds, especially those including bacterial infection, have always been difficult and challenging using current treatment. Herein, an effective strategy is reported for constructing glucose-responsive functional hydrogels using nanocomposites as nodes. In fact, tannic acid (TA)-modified ceria nanocomposites (CNPs) and a zinc metal-organic framework (ZIF-8) were employed as nodes. Subsequent crosslinking with 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid achieved functional nanocomposite-hydrogels (TA@CN gel, TA@ZMG gel) by radical-mediated polymerization. Compared with a simple physically mixed hydrogel system, the mechanical properties of TA@CN gel and TA@ZMG gel are significantly enhanced due to the intervention of the nanocomposite nodes. In addition, this kind of nanocomposite hydrogel can realize the programmed loading of drugs and release of drugs in response to glucose/PH, to coordinate and promote its application in the regeneration and repair of diabetic wounds and infected diabetic wounds. Specifically, TA@CN gel can remove reactive oxygen species and generate oxygen through its various enzymatic activities. At the same time, it can effectively promote neovascularization, thus promoting the regeneration and repair of diabetic wounds. Furthermore, glucose oxidase-loaded TA@ZMG gel exhibits glucose response and pH-regulating functions, triggering programmed metformin (Met) release by degrading the metal-organic framework (MOF) backbone. It also exhibited additional synergistic effects of antibacterial activity, hair regeneration and systemic blood glucose regulation, which make it suitable for the repair of more complex infected diabetic wounds. Overall, this novel nanocomposite-mediated hydrogel holds great potential as a biomaterial for the healing of chronic diabetic wounds, opening up new avenues for further biomedical applications.

Abstract
The use of oxidoreductase nanozymes to regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) has gradually emerged in periodontology treatments. However, current nanozymes for treating periodontitis eliminate ROS extensively and non-specifically, ignoring the physiological functions of ROS under normal conditions, which may result in uncontrolled side effects. Herein, using the MIL-47(V)-F (MVF) nanozyme, which mimics the function of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), it is proposed that ROS can be properly regulated by specifically eliminating H2 O2 , the most prominent ROS. Through H2 O2 elimination, MVF contributes to limiting inflammation, regulating immune microenvironment, and promoting periodontal regeneration. Moreover, MVF stimulates osteogenic differentiation of periodontal stem cells directly, further promoting regeneration due to the vanadium in MVF. Mechanistically, MVF regulates ROS by activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase 1 (Nrf2/HO-1) pathway and promotes osteogenic differentiation directly through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway. A promising periodontitis therapy strategy is presented using GPx-mimicking nanozymes through their triple effects of antioxidation, immunomodulation, and bone remodeling regulation, making nanozymes an excellent tool for developing precision medicine.

Abstract
Haloperoxidases represent an important class of enzymes that nature adopts as a defense mechanism to combat the colonial buildup of microorganisms on surfaces, commonly known as biofouling. Subsequently, there has been tremendous focus on the development of artificial haloperoxidase mimics that can catalyze the oxidation of X- (halide ion) in the presence of H2O2 to form HOX. The natural intermediate HOX disrupts the bacterial quorum sensing, thus preventing biofilm formation. Herein, we report a simple method for the formation of supramolecular hydrogels through the self-assembly of Keggin-structured polyoxometalates, phosphotungstic acid, and silicotungstic acid with the small biomolecule guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in an aqueous medium. The polyoxometalate-GMP hydrogels that contained highly entangled nanofibers were mechanically robust and showed thixotropic properties. The gelation of the polyoxometalates with GMP not only rendered manifold enhancement in biocompatibility but also the fibril network in the hydrogel provided high water wettability and the polyoxometalates acted as an efficient haloperoxidase mimic to trigger oxidative iodination, as demonstrated by a haloperoxidase assay. The antifouling activity of the phosphotungstic acid-GMP hydrogel was demonstrated against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which showed enhanced antibacterial performance of the hydrogel as compared to the polyoxometalate alone. We envision that the polyoxometalate-GMP hydrogels may facilitate mechanically robust coatings in a simple pathway that can be useful for antifouling applications.

Abstract
A portable colorimetric aptasensor was constructed based on the dual catalytic performance of CeO2 nanozyme to determine carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125). Firstly, CeO2 nanozyme was synthesized by calcination and ultrasonically dispersed in a macroporous silica foam (MSF) to form CeO2@MSF. Then the aptamer of CA125 (apt) and complementary DNA (c-DNA) were successively assembled on the CeO2@MSF to construct a CeO2@MSF/apt/c-DNA colorimetric aptasensor, which exhibited excellent oxidase-mimic performance and phosphatase-mimic activity simultaneously. In the presence of CA125, the apt specifically binds to target CA125, and the single-strand c-DNA leaves the CeO2@MSF/apt surface, which is catalytically hydrolyzed by exonuclease I. The produced phosphate ions inhibit the phosphatase-mimic activity of CeO2 nanozyme. Thus, the absorbance at 652 nm of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine solution containing ascorbic acid-2-phosphate increases with the concentration of CA125. The response is linearly related to the logarithm of CA125 concentration from 1.0 to 10.0 U/mL under optimal experimental conditions. Based on this, the constructed colorimetric aptasensor has a high sensitivity, good selectivity, and high accuracy for CA125 determination in real human serum sample.

Abstract
Noble metal nanozymes hold promise in cancer therapy due to adjustable enzyme-like activities, unique physicochemical properties, etc. But catalytic activities of monometallic nanozyme are confined. In this study, 2D titanium carbide (Ti3 C2 Tx )-supported RhRu alloy nanoclusters (RhRu/Ti3 C2 Tx ) are prepared by a hydrothermal method and utilized for synergistic therapy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and photothermal therapy (PTT) on osteosarcoma. The nanoclusters are small in size (3.6 nm), uniform in distribution, and have excellent catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD)-like activities. Density functional theory calculations show that there is a significant electron transfer interaction between RhRu and Ti3 C2 Tx , which has strong adsorption to H2 O2 and is beneficial to enhance the enzyme-like activity. Furthermore, RhRu/Ti3 C2 Tx nanozyme acts as both PTT agent for converting light into heat, and photosensitizer for catalyzing O2 to 1 O2 . With the NIR-reinforced POD- and CAT-like activity, excellent photothermal and photodynamic performance, the synergistic CDT/PDT/PTT effect of RhRu/Ti3 C2 Tx on osteosarcoma is verified by in vitro and in vivo experiments. This study is expected to provide a new research direction for the treatment of osteosarcoma and other tumors.

Abstract
Developing metal-free carbon nanozyme for tumor hypoxia is difficult. In biomedical applications, especially in the case of biomolecular detection, extensive research has been done on nanozymes with enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity. However, there are considerably fewer investigations on targeted nano-catalytic tumor therapy. Nano catalytic medicine-enabled chemotherapy is a safe and promising treatment strategy that involves the conversion of excess H2O2 into O2 in a tumor environment. Here we have synthesized carbon nanosphere (CNS) using the Camellia sinensis plant (CS-CNS). Further surface functionalization was achieved via nitrilotriacetic acid conjugation (NTA@CS-CNS). A stability study of synthesized nanozyme in the presence of various cations, anions, and 5 different pH range suggested the robustness of carbon based nanoassembly. The catalytic in vitro study shows that NTA@CS-CNS mimics peroxidase and catalase using TMB and H2O2 as substrates. NTA@CS-CNS showed Km and Vmax values of ~ 193.2 μM and 0.43 μM/s, ~ 413 μM and 1.42 μM/s, and ~ 378 μM and 1.63 μM/s, respectively when H2O2 and TMB was used for CAT and POD activity. Results showed that NTA@CS-CNS in combination with SFN and laser irradiation reduces hypoxia. Hence, our study could pave the path for the development of different non-toxic nano catalytic therapy for tumors in cancerous cells.

Abstract
Single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) are a well-defined and uniquely sized class of polymer nanoparticles. The advances in polymer science over the past decades have enabled the development of a variety of intramolecular crosslinking systems, leading to particles in the 5-20 nm size regime. Which is aligned with the size regime of proteins and therefore making SCNPs an interesting class of NPs for biomedical applications. The high modularity of SCNP design and the ease of their functionalization have led to growing research interest. In this review, we describe different crosslinking systems, as well as the preparation of functional SCNPs and the variety of biomedical applications that have been explored.

Abstract
Designing the size, morphology and interfacial charge of catalyst particles at the nanometer scale can enhance their performance. We demonstrate this with nanoceria which is a functional mimic of haloperoxidases, a group of enzymes that halogenates organic substrates in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. These reactions in aqueous solution require the presence of H2O2. We demonstrate in situ generation of H2O2 from a CaO2 reservoir in polyether sulfone (PES) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) polymer beads, which circumvents the external addition of H2O2 and expands the scope of applications for haloperoxidase reactions. The catalytic activity of nanoceria was enhanced significantly by Bi3+ substitution. Bi-doped mesoporous ceria nanoparticles with tunable surface properties were prepared by changing the reaction time. Increasing reaction time increases the surface area SBET of the mesoporous Bi0.2Ce0.8O1.9 nanoparticles and the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio, which is associated with the ζ-potential. In this way, the catalytic activity of nanoceria could be tuned in a straightforward manner. H2O2 required for the reaction was released steadily over a long period of time from a CaO2 storage depot incorporated in polyether sulfone (PES) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) beads together with Bi0.2Ce0.8O1.9 particles, which may be used as precision fillers and templates for biological applications. The spheres are prepared as a dry powder with no surface functionalization or coatings. They are inert, chemically stable, and safe for handling. The feasibility of this approach was demonstrated using a haloperoxidase assay.

Abstract
A properly designed sensing interface is crucial for the accurate and sensitive detection of biologically active molecules. Single-atom nanozymes from transition metal and nitrogen-doped carbon materials (M-N-C) have caught attention owing to their large surface area and strong bionic enzyme activity. Herein, a three-dimensional layered electrochemical electrode consisting of a Co-N-C nanoenzyme embedded in a reduced graphene oxide aerogel was prepared for the detection of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). Due to its unique three-dimensional layered structure, rGA has excellent electrical conductivity and high material loading and is used to enhance the electrocatalytic performance of Co-N-C. The combination of single-atom nanozymes and electrochemical detection shows unique advantages in catalytic activity and selectivity. The limit of detection and detection range are 0.74 μM and 3-2991 μM respectively for H2O2. Furthermore, it has been successfully implemented for the in-situ detection of H2O2 in living cells. In addition, their simultaneous detection is also realized by the sensors for DA and UA. And it can accurately capture the signal of UA and DA in the urine. Meanwhile, the electrode displays satisfactory stability and repeatability. Therefore, this paper provides a new detection strategy for a variety of bioactive molecules, showing great potential in cell biology, pathophysiology and diagnostics.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilm formation is a huge problem in industry and medicine. Therefore, the discovery of anti-biofilm agents may hold great promise. Biofilm formation is usually a consequence of bacterial cell-cell communication, a process called quorum sensing (QS). CeO2 nanocrystals (NCs) have been established as haloperoxidase (HPO) mimics and ecologically beneficial biofilm inhibitors. They were suggested to interfere with QS, a mechanism termed quorum quenching (QQ), but their molecular mechanism remained elusive. We show that CeO2 NCs are effective QQ agents, inactivating QS signals by bromination. Catalytic bromination of 3-oxo-C12-AHL a QS signaling compound used by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was detected in the presence of CeO2 NCs, bromide ions, and hydrogen peroxide. Brominated acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) no longer act as QS signals but were not detected in the bacterial cultures. Externally added brominated AHLs also disappeared in P. aeruginosa cultures within minutes of their addition, indicating that they are rapidly degraded by the bacteria. Moreover, we detected the catalytic bromination of 2-heptyl-1-hydroxyquinolin-4(1H)-one (HQNO), a multifunctional non-AHL QS signal from P. aeruginosa with antibacterial and algicidal properties controlling the expression of many virulence genes. Brominated HQNO was not degraded by the bacteria in vivo. The repression of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) production and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa through the catalytic formation of Br-HQNO on surfaces with coatings containing CeO2 enzyme mimics validates the non-toxic strategy for the development of anti-infectives.

Abstract
Designing the shape and size of catalyst particles, and their interfacial charge, at the nanometer scale can radically change their performance. We demonstrate this with ceria nanoparticles. In aqueous media, nanoceria is a functional mimic of haloperoxidases, a group of enzymes that oxidize organic substrates, or of peroxidases that can degrade reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as H2O2 by oxidizing an organic substrate. We show that the chemical activity of CeO2-x nanoparticles in haloperoxidase- and peroxidase-like reactions scales with their active surface area, their surface charge, given by the ζ-potential, and their surface defects (via the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio). Haloperoxidase-like reactions are controlled through the ζ-potential as they involve the adsorption of charged halide anions to the CeO2 surface, whereas peroxidase-like reactions without charged substrates are controlled through the specific surface area SBET. Mesoporous CeO2-x particles, with large surface areas, were prepared via template-free hydrothermal reactions and characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering. Surface area, ζ-potential and the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio are controlled in a simple and predictable manner by the synthesis time of the hydrothermal reaction as demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, sorption and ζ-potential measurements. The surface area increased with synthesis time, whilst the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio scales inversely with decreasing ζ-potential. In this way the catalytic activity of mesoporous CeO2-x particles could be tailored selectively for haloperoxidase- and peroxidase-like reactions. The ease of tuning the surface properties of mesoporous CeO2x particles by varying the synthesis time makes the synthesis a powerful general tool for the preparation of nanocatalysts according to individual needs.

Antifouling coatings can reduce algal growth while preserving coral settlement. Sci Rep 2022; 12:15935.

Abstract
In the early stages after larval settlement, coral spat can be rapidly overgrown and outcompeted by algae, reducing overall survival for coral reef replenishment and supply for restoration programs. Here we investigated three antifouling (AF) coatings for their ability to inhibit algal fouling on coral settlement plugs, a commonly-used restoration substrate. Plugs were either fully or partially coated with the AF coatings and incubated in mesocosm systems with partial recirculation for 37 days to track fouling succession. In addition, settlement of Acropora tenuis larvae was measured to determine whether AF coatings were a settlement deterrent. Uncoated control plugs became heavily fouled, yielding only 4–8% bare substrate on upper surfaces after 37 days. During this period, an encapsulated dichlorooctylisothiazolinone (DCOIT)-coating was most effective in reducing fouling, yielding 61–63% bare substrate. Antiadhesive and cerium dioxide (CeO2−x) nanoparticle (NP) coatings were less effective, yielding 11–17% and 2% bare substrate, respectively. Average settlement of A. tenuis larvae on the three types of AF-coated plugs did not statistically differ from settlement on uncoated controls. However, settlement on the NP-coating was generally the highest and was significantly higher than settlement found on the antiadhesive- and DCOIT-coating. Furthermore, on plugs only partially-covered with AF coatings, larval settlement on coated NP- areas was significantly higher than settlement on coated antiadhesive- and DCOIT-areas. These results demonstrate that AF coatings can reduce fouling intensity on biologically-relevant timescales while preserving robust levels of coral settlement. This represents an important step towards reducing fine-scale competition with benthic fouling organisms in coral breeding and propagation.

Abstract
Given the spasmodic increment in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), world is on the verge of “post-antibiotic era”. It is anticipated that current SARS-CoV2 pandemic would worsen the situation in future, mainly due to the lack of new/next generation of antimicrobials. In this context, nanoscale materials with antimicrobial potential have a great promise to treat deadly pathogens. These functional materials are uniquely positioned to effectively interfere with the bacterial systems and augment biofilm penetration. Most importantly, the core substance, surface chemistry, shape, and size of nanomaterials define their efficacy while avoiding the development of AMR. Here, we review the mechanisms of AMR and emerging applications of nanoscale functional materials as an excellent substitute for conventional antibiotics. We discuss the potential, promises, challenges and prospects of nanobiotics to combat AMR.

Abstract
Phenol and its derivatives, known as persistent organic pollutants, have long threatened human health and environmental safety. There is an urgent need to develop convenient, low-cost, and multiplex analytical methods. Since phenols are substrates of laccase, they can be detected via laccase-catalyzed colorimetric assays. Nevertheless, the laccase-based assays cannot distinguish different phenols. Moreover, natural laccases suffer from high cost and low stability issues. To meet these needs, here we developed a laccase-like nanozyme sensor array for phenol detection and differentiation, which takes advantage of both nanozymes and cross-reactive sensor arrays. First, we examined a series of spinel-type transition metal oxides and found that manganese on octahedral sites profoundly affects the laccase-like activity of the materials. Based on the developed manganese-based spinel oxides (i.e., Mn3O4, Zn0.4Li0.6Mn2O4, and LiMn2O4), a colorimetric sensor array was constructed. The sensor array could effectively identify and discriminate phenol and its derivatives and showed good performance in the identification and differentiation of phenols in tap water samples. This work provides an important guidance for the development of laccase-like nanozymes and a promising methodology for pollutant monitoring.

Abstract
Marine organisms combat bacterial colonization by biohalogenation of signaling compounds that interfere with bacterial communication. These reactions are catalyzed by haloperoxidase enzymes, whose activity can be emulated by nanoceria using milli- and micromolar concentrations of Br- and H2O2. We show that the haloperoxidase-like activity of nanoceria can greatly be enhanced by Ln substitution in Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2. Non-agglomerated nanosized Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2 (Ln = Pr, Tb, particle size < 10 nm) was prepared mechanochemically from CeCl3 and Na2CO3 followed by short calcination. Lanthanide metals could be incorporated into the CeO2 host without solubility limit, as shown for Tb. The distribution of the Ln3+ defect sites in the CeO2 host structure was analyzed by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Ce3+ and superoxide O2- species are present at surface sites. Their formation is promoted by increasing dopant concentration. Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2 was prepared in copious amounts by ball-milling. This energy-saving and residue-free method can be upscaled to industrial scale. The surface defect chemistry of Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2 was unravelled by vibrational spectroscopy. It is associated with the mechanochemical preparation and leads to enhanced catalytic activity. Although Ce0.9Pr0.1O1.95 had a lower BET surface area than pure CeO2, its catalytic activity, calibrated by oxidative bromination of phenol red, was much higher because the ζ-potential increased from 15 mV (for CeO2) to 30 mV (for Ce0.9Pr0.1O1.95). This facilitates adsorption of Br- in aqueous conditions and explains the high catalytic activity of the Ln-substituted CeO2. Ce1-xLnxO2-x/2 is an effective and "green" nanoparticle haloperoxidase mimic for antifouling applications, as no chemicals other than the ubiquitous Br- and H2O2 (generated in daylight) are required, and only natural metabolites are released into the environment.

High-throughput synthesis of CeO 2 nanoparticles for transparent nanocomposites repelling Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Sci Rep 2022; 12:3935.

Abstract
Preventing bacteria from adhering to material surfaces is an important technical problem and a major cause of infection. One of nature's defense strategies against bacterial colonization is based on the biohalogenation of signal substances that interfere with bacterial communication. Biohalogenation is catalyzed by haloperoxidases, a class of metal-dependent enzymes whose activity can be mimicked by ceria nanoparticles. Transparent CeO2/polycarbonate surfaces that prevent adhesion, proliferation, and spread of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 were manufactured. Large amounts of monodisperse CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized in segmented flow using a high-throughput microfluidic benchtop system using water/benzyl alcohol mixtures and oleylamine as capping agent. This reduced the reaction time for nanoceria by more than one order of magnitude compared to conventional batch methods. Ceria nanoparticles prepared by segmented flow showed high catalytic activity in halogenation reactions, which makes them highly efficient functional mimics of haloperoxidase enzymes. Haloperoxidases are used in nature by macroalgae to prevent formation of biofilms via halogenation of signaling compounds that interfere with bacterial cell-cell communication ("quorum sensing"). CeO2/polycarbonate nanocomposites were prepared by dip-coating plasma-treated polycarbonate panels in CeO2 dispersions. These showed a reduction in bacterial biofilm formation of up to 85% using P. aeruginosa PA14 as model organism. Besides biofilm formation, also the production of the virulence factor pyocyanin in is under control of the entire quorum sensing systems P. aeruginosa. CeO2/PC showed a decrease of up to 55% in pyocyanin production, whereas no effect on bacterial growth in liquid culture was observed. This indicates that CeO2 nanoparticles affect quorum sensing and inhibit biofilm formation in a non-biocidal manner.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic materials form the building block of 50% of plant biomass comprising non-chewable agri-components like wheat straw, rice stubbles, wood shavings and other crop residues. The degradation of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose is complicated and presently being done by chemical process for industrial application through a very energy intensive process. Lignin degradation is primarily an oxidative process where the enzyme lignin peroxidase digests the polymer into smaller fragments. Being a recalcitrant component, higher lignin content poses a challenge of lower recovery of product for industrial use. Globally, the scientists are working on leveraging fungal biotechnology for using the lignocellulose degrading enzymes secreted by actinomycetes and basidiomycetes fungal groups. Enzymes contributing to degradation of lignin are mainly performing the function of modifying the lignin and degrading the lignin. Ligninolytic enzymes do not act as an independent reaction but are vital to complete the degradation process. Microbial enzyme technology is an emerging green tool in industrial biotechnology for commercial application. Bioprocessing of lignocellulosic biomass is challenged by limitations in enzymatic and conversion process where pretreatment and separation steps are done to remove lignin and hydrolyze carbohydrate into fermentable sugars. This review highlights recent advances in molecular biotechnology, lignin valorization, sequencing, decipher microbial membership, and characterize enzyme diversity through 'omics' techniques. Emerging techniques to characterize the interwoven metabolism and spatial interactions between anaerobes are also reviewed, which will prove critical to developing a predictive understanding of anaerobic communities to guide in microbiome engineering This requires more synergistic collaborations from microbial biotechnologists, bioprocess engineers, enzymologists, and other biotechnological fields.

Abstract
Highly transparent CeO2/polycarbonate surfaces were fabricated that prevent adhesion, proliferation, and the spread of bacteria. CeO2 nanoparticles with diameters of 10-15 nm and lengths of 100-200 nm for this application were prepared by oxidizing aqueous dispersions of Ce(OH)3 with H2O2 in the presence of nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as the capping agent. The surface-functionalized water-dispersible CeO2 nanorods showed high catalytic activity in the halogenation reactions, which makes them highly efficient functional mimics of haloperoxidases. These enzymes are used in nature to prevent the formation of biofilms through the halogenation of signaling compounds that interfere with bacterial cell-cell communication ("quorum sensing"). Bacteria-repellent CeO2/polycarbonate plates were prepared by dip-coating plasma-treated polycarbonate plates in aqueous CeO2 particle dispersions. The quasi-enzymatic activity of the CeO2 coating was demonstrated using phenol red enzyme assays. The monolayer coating of CeO2 nanorods (1.6 μg cm-2) and the bacteria repellent properties were demonstrated by atomic force microscopy, biofilm assays, and fluorescence measurements. The engineered polymer surfaces have the ability to repel biofilms as green antimicrobials on plastics, where H2O2 is present in humid environments such as automotive parts, greenhouses, or plastic containers for rainwater.

Abstract
Selective oxidation of thioethers is an important reaction to obtain sulfoxides as synthetic intermediates for applications in the chemical industry, medicinal chemistry and biology or the destruction of warfare agents. The reduced Magneli-type tungsten oxide WO3-x possesses a unique oxidase-like activity which facilitates the oxidation of thioethers to the corresponding sulfoxides. More than 90% of the model system methylphenylsulfide could be converted to the sulfoxide with a selectivity of 98% at room temperature within 30 minutes, whereas oxidation to the corresponding sulfone was on a time scale of days. The concentration of the catalyst had a significant impact on the reaction rate. Reasonable catalytic effects were also observed for the selective oxidation of various organic sulfides with different substituents. The WO3-x nanocatalysts could be recycled at least 5 times without decrease in activity. We propose a metal oxide-catalyzed route based on the clean oxidant hydrogen peroxide. Compared to other molecular or enzyme catalysts the WO3-x system is a more robust redox-nanocatalyst, which is not susceptible to decomposition or denaturation under standard conditions. The unique oxidase-like activity of WO3-x can be used for a wide range of applications in synthetic, environmental or medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
![]()
Recent studies have
shown that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized
with Zn(II) complexes can cleave phosphate esters and nucleic acids.
Remarkably, such synthetic nanonucleases appear to catalyze metal
(Zn)-aided hydrolytic reactions of nucleic acids similar to metallonuclease
enzymes. To clarify the reaction mechanism of these nanocatalysts,
here we have comparatively analyzed two nanonucleases with a >10-fold
difference in the catalytic efficiency for the hydrolysis of the 2-hydroxypropyl-4-nitrophenylphosphate
(HPNP, a typical RNA model substrate). We have used microsecond-long
atomistic simulations, integrated with NMR experiments, to investigate
the structure and dynamics of the outer coating monolayer of these
nanoparticles, either alone or in complex with HPNP, in solution.
We show that the most efficient one is characterized by coating ligands
that promote a well-organized monolayer structure, with the formation
of solvated bimetallic catalytic sites. Importantly, we have found
that these nanoparticles can mimic two-metal-ion enzymes for nucleic
acid processing, with Zn ions that promote HPNP binding at the reaction
center. Thus, the two-metal-ion-aided hydrolytic strategy of such
nanonucleases helps in explaining their catalytic efficiency for substrate
hydrolysis, in accordance with the experimental evidence. These mechanistic
insights reinforce the parallelism between such functionalized AuNPs
and proteins toward the rational design of more efficient catalysts.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is a significant threat to human health worldwide, forcing scientists to explore non-traditional antibacterial agents to support rapid interventions and combat the emergence and spread of drug resistant bacteria. Many new antibiotic-free approaches are being developed while the old ones are being revised, resulting in creating unique solutions that arise at the interface of physics, nanotechnology, and microbiology. Specifically, physical factors (e.g., pressure, temperature, UV light) are increasingly used for industrial sterilization. Nanoparticles (unmodified or in combination with toxic compounds) are also applied to circumvent in vivo drug resistance mechanisms in bacteria. Recently, bacteriophage-based treatments are also gaining momentum due to their high bactericidal activity and specificity. Although the number of novel approaches for tackling the antimicrobial resistance crisis is snowballing, it is still unclear if any proposed solutions would provide a long-term remedy. This review aims to provide a detailed overview of how bacteria acquire resistance against these non-antibiotic factors. We also discuss innate bacterial defense systems and how bacteriophages have evolved to tackle them.

Abstract
Preventing bacterial adhesion on materials surfaces is an important problem in marine, industrial, medical and environmental fields and a topic of major medical and societal importance. A defense strategy of marine organisms against bacterial colonization relies on the biohalogenation of signaling compounds that interfere with bacterial communication. These reactions are catalyzed by haloperoxidases, a class of metal-dependent enzymes, whose activity can be emulated by ceria nanoparticles. The enzyme-like activity of ceria was enhanced by a factor of 3 through bismuth substitution (Ce1-xBixO2-δ). The solubility of Bi3+ in CeO2 is confined to the range 0 < x < 0.25 under quasi-hydrothermal conditions. The Bi3+ cations are located close to the nanoparticle surface because their ionic radii are larger than those of the tetravalent Ce4+ ions. The synthesis of Ce1-xBixO2-δ (0 < x < 0.25) nanoparticles was upscaled to yields of ∼50 g. The halogenation activity of Ce1-xBixO2-δ was demonstrated with phenol red assays. The maximum activity for x ≈ 0.2 is related to the interplay of the ζ-potential of surface-engineered Ce1-xBixO2-δ nanoparticles and their BET surface area. Ce0.80Bi0.20O1.9 nanoparticles with optimized activity were incorporated in polyethersulfone beads, which are typical constituents of water filter membrane supports. Although Ce1-xBixO2-δ nanoparticles are not bactericidal on their own, naked Ce1-xBixO2-δ nanoparticles and polyethersulfone/Ce1-xBixO2-δ nanocomposites showed a strongly reduced bacterial coverage. We attribute the decreased adhesion of the Gram-negative soil bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa and of Phaeobacter gallaeciensis, a primary bacterial colonizer in marine biofilms, to the formation of halogenated signaling compounds. No biocides are needed, H2O2 (formed in daylight) and halide are the only substrates required. The haloperoxidase-like activity of Ce1-xBixO2-δ may be a promising starting point for the development of environmentally friendly, "green" nanocomposites, when the use of conventional biocides is prohibited.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with antioxidant properties are promising for treating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related diseases. However, maintaining efficacy at low doses to minimize toxicity is a critical for clinical applications. Tuning the surface strain of metallic nanoparticles can enhance catalytic reactivity, which has rarely been demonstrated in metal oxide nanomaterials. Here, it is shown that inducing surface strains of CeO2 /Mn3 O4 nanocrystals produces highly catalytic antioxidants that can protect tissue-resident stem cells from irradiation-induced ROS damage. Manganese ions deposited on the surface of cerium oxide (CeO2 ) nanocrystals form strained layers of manganese oxide (Mn3 O4 ) islands, increasing the number of oxygen vacancies. CeO2 /Mn3 O4 nanocrystals show better catalytic activity than CeO2 or Mn3 O4 alone and can protect the regenerative capabilities of intestinal stem cells in an organoid model after a lethal dose of irradiation. A small amount of the nanocrystals prevents acute radiation syndrome and increases the survival rate of mice treated with a lethal dose of total body irradiation.

Abstract
The present study describes preparation of cellulose incorporated magnetic nano-biocomposites (CNPs) by using cellulose as base material. The prepared CNPs were characterised by SEM, EDAX, TEM, XRD, and FT-IR and found to exhibit an intrinsic peroxidase-like activity with a Km and Vmax of 550 μM and 3.8 μM/ml/min, respectively. The CNPs exhibited higher pH and thermal stability compared to commercial peroxidase. These nanocomposites were able to completely remove (i) a persistent azo dye, methyl orange at a concentration of 50 ppm, within 60 min under acidic conditions (pH 3.0) and also (ii) decolourize commercial textile dye mixture under acidic conditions within 30 min. CNP-mediated degradation of dyes into simple products was further confirmed by UV-Vis and AT-IR spectroscopy The added advantage of CNPs separation after decolourization by simple magnet due to their magnetic properties and consequent reusability makes them fairy attractive system for dye remediation from environmental samples or textile industries effluents.

Abstract
Bacterial infection-related diseases have been growing year-by-year rapidly and raising health problems globally. The exploitation of novel, high efficiency, and bacteria-binding antibacterial agents are extremely need. As far as now, the most extensive treatment is restricted to antibiotics, which may be overused and misused, leading to increased multidrug resistance. Antibiotics abuse, as well as antibiotic-resistance of bacteria, is a global challenge in the current situation. It is highly recommended and necessary to develop novel bactericide to kill the bacteria effectively without causing further resistance development and biosafety issues. Nanozymes, inorganic nanostructures with intrinsic enzymatic activities, have attracted more and more interest from the researchers owing to their exceptional advantages. Compared to natural enzymes, nanozymes can destroy many Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, which builds an important bridge between biology and nanotechnology. As the potent nanoantibiotics, nanozymes have exciting broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties and negligible biotoxicities. And we summarized and highlighted the recent advances on nanozymes including its antibacterial mechanism and applications. Finally, challenges and limitations for the further improvement of the antibacterial activity are covered to provide future directions for the use of engineered nanozymes with enhanced antibacterial function.

Abstract
Although synergistic therapy for tumors has displayed significant promise for effective treatment of cancer, developing a simple and effective strategy to build a multi-functional nanoplatform is still a huge challenge. By virtue of the characteristics of tumor microenvironment, such as hypoxia, slight acidity and H2O2 overexpression, Au2Pt-PEG-Ce6 nanoformulation is constructed for collaborative chemodynamic/phototherapy of tumors. Specifically, the Au2Pt nanozymes with multiple functions are synthesized in one step at room temperature. The photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) is covalently linked to Au2Pt nanozymes for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Interestingly, the Au2Pt nanozymes possess catalase- and peroxidase-like activities simultaneously, which not only can generate O2 for relaxation of tumor hypoxia and enhancement of PDT efficiency but also can produce ∙OH for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). In addition, the high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 31.5%) of Au2Pt-PEG-Ce6 nanoformulation provides the possibility for photoacoustic (PA) and photothermal (PT) imaging guided photothermal therapy (PTT). Moreover, the presence of high-Z elements (Au and Pt) in Au2Pt-PEG-Ce6 nanoformulation endows it with the ability to act as an X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging contrast agent. All in all, the Au2Pt-PEG-Ce6 exhibits great potential in multimodal imaging-guided synergistic PTT/PDT/CDT with remarkably tumor specificity and enhanced therapy.

Abstract
The color generating from the biochemical reaction between 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine and Lysine@WS2 QDs was used a signal for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. The QDs were prepared using a combination of techniques, that is, probe sonication and hydrothermal treatment. Analysis via UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy yielded detailed information on the nature and characteristics of these quantum dots. Furthermore, as-synthesized quantum dots were studied for their capability to mimic peroxidase enzyme using 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine as a substrate. Consequently, a colorimetric sensor utilizing Lysine@WS2 QDs could detect hydrogen peroxide in a range of 0.1-60 μM with a response time of 5 min. The same material was used for H2O2 detection using impedance spectroscopy, which yielded a dynamic range of 0.1-350 μM with a response time of 30-40 s.

Abstract
An alarming increase in bacterial resistance towards various types of antibiotics makes it imperative to design alternate or combinational therapies to treat stubborn bacterial infections. In this perspective, emerging tools like nanozymes, nanomaterials with biological enzyme like characteristics, are being utilised to control infections caused by bacterial pathogens. Among several nanozymes used for antibacterial applications, Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NP) received great attention due to their effective peroxidase like activity. The pH dependent peroxidase activity of Fe3O4 NP results in generation of OH radical via the unique Fenton chemistry of iron. However, their pH dependent activity is restricted to acidic environment and dramatic loss in antibacterial activity is observed at near neutral pH. Here we describe a novel strategy to overcome the pH lacunae of citrate coated Fe3O4 NP by utilizing adenosine triphosphate disodium salt (ATP) as a synergistic agent to accelerate the OH radical production and restore its antibacterial activity over a wide range of pH. This synergistic combination (30 µg/mL Fe3O4 NP and 2.5 mM ATP) shows a high bactericidal activity against both gram positive (B. subtilis) and gram negative (E. coli) bacterial strains, in presence of H2O2, at neutral pH. The synergistic effect (Fe3O4 NP + ATP) is determined from the viability assessment and membrane damage studies and is further confirmed by comparing the concentration of generated OH radicals. Over all, this study illustrates ATP assisted and OH-mediated bactericidal activity of Fe3O4 nanozyme at near neutral pH.

Abstract
Either hypoxia in an acute ischemic stroke before thrombolysis or the oxygen-boost after thrombolysis cause a high level of free radicals, resulting in successive injuries to neurocytes. To treat an ischemic stroke, it is needed to scavenge free radicals, combining sequentially regulating hypoxia and oxygen-boost microenvironment. Here, we report an engineered nanosponge (Mn3O4@nanoerythrocyte-T7, MNET) that could remodel the microenvironment of a stroke by self-adapted oxygen regulating and free radical scavenging. With a long circulation time in blood due to the stealth effect of the erythrocyte and preferential accumulation in the infarct site by the assisting of T7 peptide, MNET exerts a distinct therapeutic effect in two stages of an ischemic stroke: (i) before thrombolysis, rescue neurocyte via rapid free radical scavenging and timely oxygen supply; (ii) after thrombolysis, suppress oxygen-boost via oxygen storage, as well as scavenge free radical to avoid reperfusion injury. MNET holds an attractive potential for ischemic stroke treatment via phased regulation of pathological microenvironment.

Abstract
The design of a highly specific and sensitive approach for the quantitative and qualitative determination of acetaminophen (AP) is crucial from a human health point of view. In this study, AuNPs@PMo12, as a nanozyme, has been developed for the highly sensitive and selective detection of AP with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) within a few seconds without adding oxidizing reagents (e.g. H2O2). Synthesized nanosensors are able to oxidize TMB to yellow-brown oxidized TMB (oxTMB). The maximum peak wavelength of oxTMB was observed at 450 nm. The addition of AP and then increasing its concentration led to the production of different products in blue color. In experimental measurements, the limit of detection was obtained as 14.52 mg L−1. The quantitative determination of AP concentrations can be carried out using UV-vis spectroscopy. The design of nanosensors is cost-effective and application of them in H2O2-free and enzyme-free conditions provides a rapid sensing approach for practical use in disease monitoring and diagnosis. The design of a highly specific and sensitive approach for the quantitative and qualitative determination of acetaminophen (AP) is crucial from a human health point of view.![]()

Abstract
Here, we develop a visible light-triggered platform to activate the biomimetic activity of CuS nanoparticles by incorporating a photoacid generator. Under visible-light illumination, the remarkable pH decrease, caused by the intramolecular photoreaction of the photoacid generator, activates the peroxidase-like activity of the CuS nanoparticles. This visible light-triggered pH switch meets the antibacterial demands of peroxidase mimics perfectly in bacteria-infected wounds. Importantly, the built-in torches of mobile phones are able to replace the visible-light source to activate the peroxidase-mimicking activity of CuS nanoparticles to combat bacteria, which greatly promotes the utility and adaptability of this antibacterial platform. An in situ pH decrease is achieved under visible-light illumination on a photoacid generator, and thus activates the peroxidase-like activity of CuS nanoparticles to treat bacteria-infected wounds.![]()

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like characteristics that have been booming over the past decade because of their capability to address the limitations of natural enzymes such as low stability, high cost, and difficult storage. Along with the rapid development and ever-deepening understanding of nanoscience and nanotechnology, nanozymes hold promise to serve as direct surrogates of traditional enzymes by mimicking and further engineering the active centers of natural enzymes. In 2007, we reported the first evidence that Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) have intrinsic peroxidase-mimicking activity, and since that time, hundreds of nanomaterials have been found to mimic the catalytic activity of peroxidase, oxidase, catalase, haloperoxidase, glutathione peroxidase, uricase, methane monooxygenase, hydrolase, and superoxide dismutase. Uniquely, a broad variety of nanomaterials have been reported to simultaneously exhibit dual- or multienzyme mimetic activity. For example, Fe3O4 NPs show pH-dependent peroxidase-like and catalase-like activities; Prussian blue NPs simultaneously possess peroxidase-, catalase-, and superoxide dismutase-like activity; and Mn3O4 NPs mimic all three cellular antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Taking advantage of the physiochemical properties of nanomaterials, nanozymes have shown a broad range of applications from in vitro detection to replacing specific enzymes in living systems. With the emergence of the new concept of "nanozymology", nanozymes have now become an emerging new field connecting nanotechnology and biology. Since the landmark paper on nanozymes was published in 2007, we have extensively explored their catalytic mechanism, established the corresponding standards to quantitatively determine their catalytic activities, and opened up a broad range of applications from biological detection and environmental monitoring to disease diagnosis and biomedicine development. Here we mainly focus on our progress in the systematic design and construction of functionally specific nanozymes, the standardization of nanozyme research, and the exploration of their applications for replacing natural enzymes in living systems. We also show that, by combining the unique physicochemical properties and enzyme-like catalytic activities, nanozymes can offer a variety of multifunctional platforms with a broad of applications from in vitro detection to in vivo monitoring and therapy. For instance, targeting antibody-conjugated ferromagnetic nanozymes simultaneously provide three functions: target capture, magnetic separation, and nanozyme color development for target detection. We finally will address the prospect of nanozyme research to become "nanozymology". We expect that nanozymes with unique physicochemical properties and intrinsic enzyme-mimicking catalytic properties will attract broad interest in both fundamental research and practical applications and offer new opportunities for traditional enzymology.

Abstract
Nanoparticulate materials displaying enzyme-like properties, so-called nanozymes, are explored as substitutes for natural enzymes in several industrial, energy-related, and biomedical applications. Outstanding high stability, enhanced catalytic activities, low cost, and availability at industrial scale are some of the fascinating features of nanozymes. Furthermore, nanozymes can also be equipped with the unique attributes of nanomaterials such as magnetic or optical properties. Due to the impressive development of nanozymes during the last decade, their potential in the context of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine also started to be explored. To highlight the progress, in this review, we discuss the two most representative nanozymes, namely, cerium- and iron-oxide nanomaterials, since they are the most widely studied. Special focus is placed on their applications ranging from cardioprotection to therapeutic angiogenesis, bone tissue engineering, and wound healing. Finally, current challenges and future directions are discussed.
