Abstract
Dopamine (DA) is catecholamine neurotransmitters that play an important role in the central nervous system. In recent years people started to intentionally add DA to animal feed to enhance muscle development and increase their profit margin. Human consumption of the residual DA from animal tissues has been reported to be associated with the development of such diseases as Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, senile dementia, and schizophrenia and pose serious human health risks. These require development of rapid, cheap, and sensitive methods for detection of DA from animal tissue. Compared to other techniques that require access to expensive instruments, skilled human power, and tiresome routine procedures, colorimetric methods provide cheap and reliable options for detection of DA. Here we report a colorimetric method based on the peroxidase-mimic activity of Fe3O4@C@AgNPs for the detection of DA. A simple wet chemical method was employed to synthesize AgNPs on hydrophilic carbon coated Fe3O4. The produced nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The detection of DA was done based on inhibition of the peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4@C@AgNPs using 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a substrate. In the presence of DA, however, the peroxidase-like activity started to decrease. The decrease in activity was concentration dependent showing a linear relationship in the range of 0.5-80 µM. In this linear range, the limit of detection (LOD) was computed and found to be as low as 0.12 µM. Therefore, we propose that the peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4@C@AgNPs could be used for quantitative detection of DA from different samples.

Colorimetric detection of neomycin sulfate in serum based on ultra-small gold nanoparticles with peroxidase-like activity. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 321:124686.

Abstract
Neomycin sulfate (NEO) is a kind of aminoglycoside antibiotics. Because of its strong ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity and other side effects, its content in the body should be strictly monitored during use. In this paper, a rapid colorimetric detection method for NEO based on ultrasmall polyvinylpyrrolidone modified gold nanoparticles (PVP/Au NPs) with peroxidase-like activity was developed. Firstly, ultra small PVP/Au NPs with weak peroxidase-like activity were synthetized. When they were mixed with NEO, strong hydrogen bonds were formed between NEO and PVP, resulting in the aggregation of PVP/Au NPs, and the aggregated PVP/Au NPs showed stronger peroxidase-like activity. Therefore, rapid colorimetric detection of NEO was achieved by utilizing the enhanced peroxidase-like activity mechanism caused by the aggregation of ultra small PVP/Au NPs. The naked eye detection limit of this method is 50 nM. Within the range of 1 nM-300 nM, there was a good linear relationship between NEO concentration and the change in absorbance intensity of PVP/Au NPs-H2O2-TMB solution at 652 nm, with the regression curve of y = 0.0045x + 0.0525 (R2 = 0.998), and the detection limit is 1 nM. In addition, this method was successfully applied to the detection of NEO in mouse serum. The recoveries were 104.4 % -107.6 % compared with HPLC assay results, indicating that this method for NEO detection based on PVP/Au NPs has great potential in actual detection of NEO in serum.

Abstract
When bulk materials are reduced in size to the nanometer scale, in particular, their surface-to-volume ratio increases drastically. We introduce some simple experiments on how to visualize this concept to students in the framework of a laboratory class. In the same context, experiments to demonstrate the consequences of this on the properties of the materials are introduced. This will involve solubility and chemical surface reactivity of the materials and properties originated from the surface. In the framework of their chemical reactivity, potential benefits and threads of nanomaterials due to their high surface-to-volume ratio will be discussed, such as applications as catalysts and their impact on nanotoxicology.

Abstract
We herein describe a novel electrochemical strategy to detect hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by utilizing the peroxidase-mimicking activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NP) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Particularly, CeO2 NP/rGO nanocomposites were deposited on the commercial electrode by a very convenient and direct electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide. Due to the peroxidase-mimicking activity of CeO2 NP and the outstanding electrochemical properties of reduced graphene oxide, the reduction current of H2O2 was greatly enhanced. Based on this strategy, we reliably determined H2O2 down to 1.67 μM with excellent specificity and further validated its practical capabilities by robustly detecting H2O2 present in heterogeneous human serum samples. We believe that this work could serve as a new facile platform for H2O2 detection.

Abstract
Noble metal (e.g., Au and Ag) nanoclusters (NCs), which exhibit structural complexity and hierarchy comparable to those of natural proteins, have been increasingly pursued in artificial enzyme research. The protein-like structure of metal NCs not only ensures enzyme-mimic catalytic activity, including peroxidase-, catalase-, and superoxide dismutase-mimic activities, but also affords an unprecedented opportunity to correlate the catalytic performance with the cluster structure at the molecular or atomic levels. In this review, we aim to summarize the recent progress in programming and demystify the enzyme-mimic catalytic activity of metal NCs, presenting the state-of-the-art understandings of the structure-property relationship of metal NC-based artificial enzymes. By leveraging on a concise anatomy of the hierarchical structure of noble metal NCs, we manage to unravel the structural origin of the catalytic performance of metal NCs. Noteworthily, it has been proven that the surface ligands and metal-ligand interface of metal NCs are instrumental in influencing enzyme-mimic catalytic activities. In addition to the structure-property correlation, we also discuss the synthetic methodologies feasible to tailoring the cluster structure at the atomic level. Prior to the closure of this review with our perspectives in noble metal NC-based artificial enzymes, we also exemplify the biomedical applications based on the enzyme-mimic catalysis of metal NCs with the theranostics of kidney injury, brain inflammation, and tumors. The fundamental and methodological advancements delineated in this review would be conducive to further development of metal NCs as an alternative family of artificial enzymes.

Abstract
Nanomaterials with more than one enzyme-like activity are termed multienzymic nanozymes, and they have received increasing attention in recent years and hold huge potential to be applied in diverse fields, especially for biosensing and therapeutics. Compared to single enzyme-like nanozymes, multienzymic nanozymes offer various unique advantages, including synergistic effects, cascaded reactions, and environmentally responsive selectivity. Nevertheless, along with these merits, the catalytic mechanism and rational design of multienzymic nanozymes are more complicated and elusive as compared to single-enzymic nanozymes. In this review, the multienzymic nanozymes classification scheme based on the numbers/types of activities, the internal and external factors regulating the multienzymatic activities, the rational design based on chemical, biomimetic, and computer-aided strategies, and recent progress in applications attributed to the advantages of multicatalytic activities are systematically discussed. Finally, current challenges and future perspectives regarding the development and application of multienzymatic nanozymes are suggested. This review aims to deepen the understanding and inspire the research in multienzymic nanozymes to a greater extent.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can be described as nanozymes, species that are able to mimic the catalytic activities of several enzymes, such as oxidase/peroxidase, reductase, or catalase. Most studies in the literature focus on the colloidal suspension of AuNPs, and it is obvious that their immobilization could open the doors to new applications thanks to their increased stability in this state. This work aimed to investigate the behavior of surfaces covered by immobilized AuNPs (iAuNPs). Citrate-stabilized AuNPs (AuNPs-cit) were synthesized and immobilized on glass slides using a simple dip coating method. The resulting iAuNPs were characterized (surface plasmon resonance, microscopy, quantification of immobilized AuNPs), and their multi-enzymatic-like activities (oxidase-, peroxidase-, and catalase-like activity) were evaluated. The comparison of their activities versus AuNPs-cit highlighted their added value, especially the preservation of their activity in some reaction media, and their ease of reuse. The huge potential of iAuNPs for heterogeneous catalysis was then applied to the degradation of two model molecules of hospital pollutants: metronidazole and methylene blue.

Abstract
Facilely synthesized peroxidase-like nanozymes with high catalytic activity and stability may serve as effective biocatalysts. The present study synthesizes peroxidase-like nanozymes with multinuclear active sites using two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets and evaluates them for their practical applications. A simple method involving a one-pot bottom-up reflux reaction is developed for the mass synthesis of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets, significantly increasing production quantity and reducing reaction time compared to traditional autoclave methods. The (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets with the unique coordination of Cu(I) stabilized in Cu-based MOFs demonstrate impressive activity in mimicking natural peroxidase. The active sites of the peroxidase-like activity of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets were predominantly verified as Cu(I) rather than Cu(II) of other Cu-based MOFs. The cost-effective and long-term stability of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets make them suitable for practical applications. Furthermore, the inhibition of the peroxidase-like activity of (Cu-S)n MOF nanosheets by glutathione (GSH) could provide a simple strategy for colorimetric detection of GSH against other amino acids. This work remarkably extends the utilization of (Cu-S)n MOF 2D nanosheets in biosensing, revealing the potential for 2D (Cu-S)n MOFs.

Abstract
Scientific interest in the investigation and application of multifunctional nanomaterials in medical diagnostics has been increasing. The employment of magnetocatalytic immunoconjugates as both analyte-capturing agents and enzyme-like catalytic labels may enable rapid preconcentration and determination of relevant antigens. In this work, we synthesized and comprehensively characterized two types of noble metal-decorated magnetic nanocubes (MDMCs) which were subsequently applied in the one-step, sandwich nanozyme-linked immunosorbent assay (NLISA). Magnetic cores allow for rapid separation from complex samples of biological origin. The catalytically active shell composed of Au-decorated Pt or Ru can effectively mimic the activity of horseradish peroxididase, retaining at the same time the ability to form stable bioconstructs through self-assembly of thiolated ligands. As a result, hybrid multifunctional nanoparticles were synthesized and used to detect C-reactive protein (CRP) in serum samples. We have also paid considerable attention to the mechanistic studies of the formation of sandwich immunocomplexes with nanoparticle labels by means of immunoenzymatic methods and surface plasmon resonance. Analytical parameters of the Pt-MDMCs-labeled NLISA (detection limit LOD = 0.336 ng mL-1, recovery = 98.0%, linear response window covering two logarithmic units) turned out to be superior to the classical, one-step ELISA based on a horseradish peroxidase. In addition, our method offers further possibility of sensitivity adjustment by changing the parameters of magnetic preconcentration, together with good long-term stability of MDMCs conjugates and their good resistance to common interferences. We believe that the proposed simple synthetic protocol will guide a new approach to applying metal-decorated magnetic nanozymes as versatile and multifunctional labels for application in subsequent pre-analytical analyte concentration and immunoassays towards clinical applications.

Abstract
We present a novel label-free colorimetric method for detecting exonuclease III (Exo III) activity using the peroxidase-mimicking activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria). Exo III, an enzyme that specifically catalyzes the stepwise removal of mononucleotides from the 3'-OH termini of double-stranded DNA, plays a significant role in various cellular and physiological processes, including DNA proofreading and repair. Malfunctions of Exo III have been associated with increased cancer risks. To assay the activity of Exo III, we applied the previous reports in that the peroxidase-mimicking activity of nanoceria is inhibited due to the aggregation induced by the electrostatic attraction between DNA and nanoceria. In the presence of Exo III, the substrate DNA (subDNA), which inhibits nanoceria's activity, is degraded, thereby restoring the peroxidase-mimicking activity of nanoceria. Consequently, the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate is oxidized, leading to a color change from colorless to blue, along with an increase in the absorbance intensity. This approach enabled us to reliably detect Exo III at a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.263 units/mL across a broad dynamic range from 3.1 to 400 units/mL, respectively, with an outstanding specificity. Since this approach does not require radiolabels, complex DNA design, or sophisticated experimental techniques, it provides a simpler and more feasible alternative to standard methods.

Abstract
To date, a range of nanozymes has been reported for their enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity such as solution-based sensors. However, in remote areas, the need for portable, cost-effective, and one-pot prepared sensors is obvious. In this study, we report the development of a highly stable and sensitive gold tablet-based sensor for cysteamine quantification in human serum samples. The sensor is produced in two steps: synthesis of a pullulan-stabilized gold nanoparticle solution (pAuNP-Solution) using a pullulan polymer as a reducing, stabilizing, and encapsulating agent and then, casting the pAuNP-Solution into a pullulan gold nanoparticle tablet (pAuNP-Tablet) by a pipetting method. The tablet was characterized by UV-vis, DLS, FTIR, TEM, and AFM analyses. The pAuNP-tablet exhibited a high peroxidase-mimetic activity via a TMB-H2O2 system. The presence of cysteamine in the system introduced two types of inhibition which were dependent on the cysteamine concentration. By determining Michaelis-Menten's kinetic parameters, we gained mechanistic insights into the catalytic inhibition process. Based on the catalytic inhibition capability of cysteamine, the limit of detection (LoD) was calculated to be 69.04 and 82.9 μM in buffer and human serum samples, respectively. Finally, real human serum samples were tested, demonstrating the applicability of the pAuNP-Tablet for real-world applications. The % R values in human serum samples were in the range of 91-105% with % RSD less than 2% for all replicas. The stability tests over 16 months revealed the ultra-stable properties of the pAuNP-Tablet. Overall, with a simple fabrication method and a novel employed technique, this study contributes to the advancement of tablet-based sensors and helps in cysteamine detection in clinical settings.

Abstract
Organic coatings on catalytic metal nanoparticles (NPs) typically hinder their activity due to the blocking of active sites. Therefore, considerable effort is made to remove organic ligands when preparing supported NP catalytic materials. Here, cationic polyelectrolyte coatings are shown to increase the catalytic activity of partially embedded gold nanoislands (Au NIs) toward transfer hydrogenation and oxidation reactions with anionic substrates compared to the activity of identical but uncoated Au NIs. Any potential steric hindrance caused by the coating is countered by a decrease in the activation energy of the reaction by half, resulting in overall enhancement. The direct comparison to identical but uncoated NPs isolates the role of the coating and provides conclusive evidence of enhancement. Our findings show that engineering the microenvironment of heterogeneous catalysts, creating hybrid materials that cooperatively interact with the reactants involved, is a viable and exciting path to improving their performance.

Abstract
Gold nanozymes (GNZs) have been widely used in biosensing and bioassay due to their interesting catalytic activities that enable the substitution of natural enzyme. This review explains different catalytic activities of GNZs that can be achieved by applying different modifications to their surface. The role of Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in mimicking oxidoreductase, helicase, phosphatase were introduced. Moreover, the effect of surface properties and modifications on each catalytic activity was thoroughly discussed. The application of GNZs in biosensing and bioassay was classified in five categories based on the combination of the enzyme like activities and enhancing/inhibition of the catalytic activities in presence of the target analyte/s that is realized by proper surface modification engineering. These categories include catalytic activity enhancer, reversible catalytic activity inhibitor, binding selectivity enhancer, agglomeration base, and multienzyme like activity, which are explained and exemplified in this review. It also gives examples of those modifications that enable the application of GNZs for in vivo biosensing and bioassays.

Abstract
Antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase play important roles in the inhibition of oxidative-damage-related pathological diseases. However, natural antioxidant enzymes face some limitations, including low stability, high cost, and less flexibility. Recently, antioxidant nanozymes have emerged as promising materials to replace natural antioxidant enzymes for their stability, cost savings, and flexible design. The present review firstly discusses the mechanisms of antioxidant nanozymes, focusing on catalase-, superoxide dismutase-, and glutathione peroxidase-like activities. Then, we summarize the main strategies for the manipulation of antioxidant nanozymes based on their size, morphology, composition, surface modification, and modification with a metal-organic framework. Furthermore, the applications of antioxidant nanozymes in medicine and healthcare are also discussed as potential biological applications. In brief, this review provides useful information for the further development of antioxidant nanozymes, offering opportunities to improve current limitations and expand the application of antioxidant nanozymes.

Abstract
In this work, aptamers against E. coli with better performance were obtained via cell systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (cell-SELEX) and dissociation constants (Kd) of aptamers were estimated to range from 133.87 to 199.44 nM. Furthermore, the selected aptamer was employed for label-free colorimetric detection of E. coli using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with peroxidase-like activity to catalyze the oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce color development. This colorimetric apta-assay started with an aptamer-bacteria binding step, and the concentration of residual aptamers after binding depended on the amount of target bacteria. Then, the amount of separated residual aptamers determined the degree of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-inhibited catalytic activity of AuNPs, which resulted in a color change from dark blue to light blue. Owing to the excellent peroxidase activity of AuNPs, they could emit strong visible color intensity in less than 1 minute to improve visual detection sensitivity. Under optimized conditions, the sensitivity of detection was 5 × 103 CFU mL-1 visually and 75 CFU mL-1 using the UV-vis spectrum with a linear range from 5 × 102 to 1 × 106 CFU mL-1. And it had shown a good recovery rate in real samples of water, juice and milk compared with classical counting methods.

Abstract
Silica-Gold Nanostructures (SGNs), composed of a silica core decorated by gold nanoparticles, have the photothermal capacity to transform near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths into heat. This work presents a simple, efficient, and replicable method of synthesis of SGNs and their characterization by: (1) transmission electron microscopy to obtain micrographs of the particles and their corresponding diameter distribution; (2) diffraction patterns showing the amorphous atomic arraignment of the silica and the crystalline atomic arrangement of the gold nanoparticles; (3) zeta potential confirming the stability of the SGNs in a colloidal solution; and (4) thermal images displaying the capacity of SGNs to convert NIR irradiation into heat and their respective increment in temperature. SGNs were synthesized over silica cores with diameters of 63, 83, and 132 nm and decorated with a partial gold shell. They were heated with a coherent light intensity of 340 mW/cm2 with a wavelength of 852 nm. This wavelength is within the range of the optical window of the human body; therefore, SGNs may be used for the photothermal ablation of tumors with no damage to the tissue. The heating of different dimensions of SGNs took 6-8 min of NIR radiation, and their cooling, once the laser was turned off, was in the order of 2-3 min. It was found that SGNs, with a core diameter of 132 nm, have a notable photothermal capacity. That enables them to increase the temperature of their surroundings by 4.4 ºC. This increment in temperature is sufficient to induce cellular necrosis, which makes SGNs a good option for photothermal treatments.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) can be used as a biomarker for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and sepsis. In this study, we demonstrated the ability of nanozymes to displace the natural derived enzyme in enzyme-based assays for the measurement of LPC. Synthesized polyvinylpyrrolidone-stabilized platinum-ruthenium nanozymes (PVP/PtRu NZs) had a uniform size of 2.48 ± 0.24 nm and superb peroxidase-mimicking activity. We demonstrated that the nanozymes had high activity over a wide pH and temperature range and high stability after long-term storage. The LPC concentration could be accurately analyzed through the absorbance and fluorescence signals generated by the peroxidation reaction using the synthesized nanozyme with substrates such as 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and 10-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine (Ampliflu™ Red). LPC at a concentration of 0-400 µM was used for the analysis, and the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.977, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 23.1 µM by colorimetric assay. In the fluorometric assay, the R2 was 0.999, and the LOD was 8.97 µM. The spiked recovery values for the determination of LPC concentration in human serum samples were 102-115%. Based on these results, we declared that PVP/PtRu NZs had an ability comparable to that of the native enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the enzyme-based LPC detection method.

Abstract
Biomolecules-based surface modifications of nanomaterials may yield effective and biocompatible nanoconjugates. This study was designed to evaluate gold nanoconjugates (AuNCs) for their altered antioxidant potential. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and their conjugates gave SPR peaks in the ranges of 512-525 nm, with red or blueshift for different conjugates. Cys-AuNCs demonstrated enhanced (p < 0.05) and Gly-AuNCs (p > 0.05) displayed reduced DPPH activity. Gly-AuNCs and Tyr-AuNCs displayed enhanced ferric-reducing power and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, respectively. Cadmium-intoxicated mice were exposed to gold nanomaterials, and the level of various endogenous parameters, i.e., CAT, GST, SOD, GSH, and MTs, was evaluated. GSH and MTs in liver tissues of the cadmium-exposed group (G2) were elevated (p < 0.05), while other groups showed nonsignificance deviations than the control group. It is concluded that these nanoconjugates might provide effective nanomaterials for biomedical applications. However, more detailed studies for their safety profiling are needed before their practical applications.

Abstract
Despite their clinical success in drug delivery applications, the potential of theranostic nanomedicines is hampered by mechanistic uncertainty and a lack of science-informed regulatory guidance. Both the therapeutic efficacy and the toxicity of nanoformulations are tightly controlled by the complex interplay of the nanoparticle's physicochemical properties and the individual patient/tumor biology; however, it can be difficult to correlate such information with observed outcomes. Additionally, as nanomedicine research attempts to gradually move away from large-scale animal testing, the need for computer-assisted solutions for evaluation will increase. Such models will depend on a clear understanding of structure-activity relationships. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the field of cancer nanomedicine and provides a knowledge framework and foundational interaction maps that can facilitate future research, assessments, and regulation. By forming three complementary maps profiling nanobio interactions and pathways at different levels of biological complexity, a clear picture of a nanoparticle's journey through the body and the therapeutic and adverse consequences of each potential interaction are presented.

Abstract
Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) may generate deleterious effects on biomolecules, such as DNA damage, protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation, causing cell and tissue damage and eventually leading to the pathogenesis of diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, ischemia/reperfusion ((I/R)) injury, and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, the modulation of ROS can be an efficient means to relieve the aforementioned diseases. Several studies have verified that antioxidants such as Mitoquinone (a mitochondrial-targeted coenzyme Q10 derivative) can scavenge ROS and attenuate related diseases. Nanozymes, defined as nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like properties that also possess antioxidant properties, are hence expected to be promising alternatives for the treatment of ROS-related diseases. This review introduces the types of nanozymes with inherent antioxidant activities, elaborates on various strategies (eg, controlling the size or shape of nanozymes, regulating the composition of nanozymes and environmental factors) for modulating their catalytic activities, and summarizes their performances in treating ROS-induced diseases.

Abstract
Rapid qualitative and quantitative detection of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium) takes an important role in ensuring food safety. Herein, a colorimetric assay aptasensor for S. typhimurium utilizing intrinsic peroxidase-like activity of gold nanoparticles embedded spherical covalent organic framework and the affinity and specificity of S. typhimurium-aptamer has been explored. This aptasensor can capture the S. typhimurium via the selective binding effect of aptamer, and the catalytically active sites were shielded. As a result, the colorimetric signals of the 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine-H2O2 system were turned off. Under optimum conditions, the aptasensor gave a linear response over the range of 10 to 107 CFU/mL for S. typhimurium. The detection limit of 7 CFU/mL was obtained within 45 min and was effectively applied to detect S. typhimurium in milk and lake water samples with recoveries in the range from 96.4 to 101.0%. More importantly, combined with a self-developed smartphone-based image analysis system, the proposed aptasensor can be used for point-of-care testing applications.

Abstract
For the visual detection of four organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), a colorimetric aptasensor was developed based on aptamer-mediated bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) nano-polymers. Fe-Co magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and Fe-N-C nanozymes were prepared based on pyrolytic reaction, and were labeled with broad spectrum aptamers and complementary chains of organophosphorus pesticides respectively. The hybridization of aptamers and complementary chains led to the formation of nano-polymers. In the presence of target pesticides, they competed with complementary chains for aptamers on Fe-Co MNPs, resulting in a large number of Fe-N-C nanozymes signal labels being released into the supernatant. Fe-N-C nanozymes showed similar activity to peroxidase and catalyzed the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine-hydrogen peroxide (TMB-H2O2) color system to turn the solution blue-green under mild conditions. The magnetic probes had good selectivity and sensitivity, and were easily separated by magnetic absorption. The sensor functioned well under optimal conditions, demonstrating good stability and specificity for four pesticides: phorate, profenofos, isocarbophos and omethoate, and the detection limits of four pesticides were as low as 0.16 ng/mL, 0.16 ng/mL, 0.03 ng/mL and 1.6 ng/mL respectively, and the recovery rate of OPs residue in vegetable samples was satisfactory. The work described here provided a simple, rapid and sensitive way to construct a biosensor.

Abstract
Remote control of cells and the regulation of cell events at the molecular level are of great interest to the biomedical field. In addition to mechanical forces and genes, chemical compounds and light play pivotal roles in regulating cell fate, which have boosted the fast growth of biology. Herein, we synthesized light-regulated, atomically dispersed Fe-N4immobilized on a carbon substrate nanozyme (Fe-N/C single atom catalysts), whose peroxidase- and catalase-like properties can be enhanced by 120% and 135%, respectively, under 808-nm laser irradiation through the photothermal effect of Fe-N/C. Interestingly, a switch to love/switch to kill interaction between Fe-N/C dose and near-infrared (NIR) light co-regulating the Fe-N/C nanozyme to modulate cell fate was discovered. Based on this, we found that under NIR light irradiation, when the dose of Fe-N/C is low, it can scavenge more reactive oxygen species (ROS) and achieve cell protection; when the dose of Fe-N/C is too high, it tended to lead to cell apoptosis. This work not only provides an effective strategy for the regulation of nanozyme activity but also realizes the dual-functional application of nanozyme materials for the treatment of some specific diseases.

Abstract
Uric acid (UA) is a metabolic byproduct of purine nucleotides and is excreted as a urine component. Abnormalities in UA metabolism cause localized inflammation due to crystal deposition and can lead to various diseases. In the current study, we successfully fabricated a biosensor based on 1-H-3-methylimidazolium acetate (ionic liquid, IL)-capped nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) for the detection of uric acid in test samples. The structures of IL-capped NiNPs and their precursors were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The IL-capped NiNPs possessed intrinsic peroxidase-like properties and displayed selective UA quenching after interacting with 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) solution. Different parameters such as pH, time, IL, TMB, and UA concentration were optimized to obtain the best results for the proposed sensor. The UA biosensor shows good responses in the linear range from 1 × 10-8 to 2.40 × 10-6 M, with a lower limit of detection of 1.30 × 10-7 M, a limit of quantification of 4.3 × 10-7 M, and an R 2 value of 0.9994. For the colorimetric detection of UA, the proposed sensor gave a short time response of 4 min at room temperature and pH 7.5. The proposed sensing probe detects UA in real serum samples and could be used as a selective sensor for UA in the real sample detection.

Abstract
Frequent contamination of foods with microbial toxins produced by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae represents an increasing public health problem that requires the development of quick and easy tools to detect them at trace levels. Recently, it has been found that colorimetric detection methods may replace traditional methods in the field because of their ease of use, quick response, ease of manufacture, low cost, and naked-eye visibility. Therefore, it is suitable for fieldwork, especially for work in remote areas of the world. However, the development of colorimetric detection methods with low detection limits is a challenge that limits their wide applicability in the detection of food contaminants. To address these challenges, nanomaterial-based transduction systems are used to construct colorimetric biosensors. For example, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) provide an excellent platform for the development of colorimetric biosensors because they offer the advantages of easy synthesis, biocompatibility, advanced surface functionality, and adjustable physicochemical properties. The selectivity of the colorimetric biosensor can be achieved by the combination of aptamers and gold nanoparticles, which provides an unprecedented opportunity to detect microbial toxins. Compared to antibodies, aptamers have significant advantages in the analysis of microbial toxins due to their smaller size, higher binding affinity, reproducible chemical synthesis and modification, stability, and specificity. Two colorimetric mechanisms for the detection of microbial toxins based on AuNPs have been described. First, sensors that use the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomenon of gold nanoparticles can exhibit very strong colors in the visible range because of changes caused by aggregation or disaggregation. Second, the detection mechanism of AuNPs is based on their enzyme mimetic properties and it is possible to construct a colorimetric biosensor based on the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine/Hydrogen peroxide, TMB/H2O2 reaction to detect microbial toxins. Therefore, this review summarizes the recent applications of AuNP-based colorimetric aptasensors for detecting microbial toxins, including bacterial toxins, fungal toxins, and algal toxins focusing on selectivity, sensitivity, and practicality. Finally, the most important current challenges in this field and future research opportunities are discussed.

Abstract
A colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent dual-mode assay is constructed for sensitive and specific Hg2+ sensing based on UiO-66-NH2 and Au composite (UiO-66-NH2@Au). The addition of Hg2+ stimulates the peroxidase-like activity of UiO-66-NH2@Au by the formation of Au-Hg amalgam, promoting the oxidizing of chromogenic substrate OPD to DAP with the aid of H2O2, which lead to the change of colorimetric and fluorescent signals. The absorbance of the sensing system at 450 nm is linear positive correlation with Hg2+ concentration of 30-1400 nM and the color of the solution under visible light shaded from light yellow to dark yellow. With the increase of Hg2+ concentration, the fluorescence signal at 570 nm (DAP) increased whereas that at 455 nm (intrinsic fluorescence of UiO-66-NH2) decreased due to inner filter effect (IFE), the fluorescence intensity ratio (F455/F570) decreasing linearly with Log [Hg2+] over the range 60-1700 nM; the fluorescence emission of sensing system under UV excitation changed from blue to yellow, which can easily be discerned visually. This assay was successfully applied to the determination of Hg2+ in tap water and river water. The results indicate that the colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent dual-mode assay based on UiO-66-NH2@Au realized visual determination of Hg2+ rapidly and reliably, revealed application prospect in Hg2+ monitoring.

Peroxidase-Mimicking Activity of Biogenic Gold Nanoparticles Produced from Prunus nepalensis Fruit Extract: Characterizations and Application for the Detection of Mycobacterium bovis.

Abstract
In the present study, a facile, eco-friendly, and controlled synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using Prunus nepalensis fruit extract is reported. The biogenically synthesized Au NPs possess ultra-active intrinsic peroxidase-like activity for the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2. Chemical analysis of the fruit extract demonstrated the presence of various bioactive molecules such as amino acids (l-alanine and aspartic acids), organic acids (benzoic acid and citric acid), sugars (arabinose and glucose), phenolic acid, and bioflavonoids (niacin and myo-inositol), which likely attributed to the formation of stable biogenic Au NPs with excellent peroxidase-mimicking activity. In comparison with the natural horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme, the biogenic Au NPs displayed a 9.64 times higher activity with regard to the reaction velocity at 6% (v/v) H2O2, presenting a higher affinity toward the TMB substrate. The Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) values for the biogenic Au NPs and HRP were found to be 6.9 × 10-2 and 7.9 × 10-2 mM, respectively, at the same concentration of 100 pM. To investigate its applicability for biosensing, a monoclonal antibody specific for Mycobacterium bovis (QUBMA-Bov) was directly conjugated to the surface of the biogenic Au NPs. The obtained results indicate that the biogenic Au NPs-QUBMA-Bov conjugates are capable of detecting M. bovis based on a colorimetric immunosensing method within a lower range of 100 to 102 cfu mL-1 with limits of detection of ∼53 and ∼71 cfu mL-1 in an artificial buffer solution and in a soft cheese spiked sample, respectively. This strategy demonstrates decent specificity in comparison with those of other bacterial and mycobacterial species. Considering these findings together, this study indicates the potential for the development of a cost-effective biosensing platform with high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of M. bovis using antibody-conjugated Au nanozymes.

Application of Peroxidase-Mimic Mn2BPMP Boosted by ADP to Enzyme Cascade Assay for Glucose and Cholesterol. CHEMOSENSORS 2022.

Abstract
The Mn2BPMP complex has an intrinsic peroxidase-like activity in the pH range of 5 to 8, especially a maximum activity at pH 7, while most peroxidase mimics operate at an acidic pH (mainly pH 4). Its peroxidase-like activity is high among small-molecule-based peroxidase mimics with a high reproducibility. In addition, we recently revealed that adenosine mono/diphosphate (AMP and ADP) significantly boosted the peroxidase-like activity of Mn2BPMP. These advantages imply that Mn2BPMP is suitable for biosensing as a substitute for horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Herein, we established a colorimetric one-pot assay system using the enzyme cascade reaction between analyte oxidase and ADP-boosted Mn2BPMP. The simple addition of ADP to the Mn2BPMP-based assay system caused a greater increase in absorbance for the same concentration of H2O2, which resulted in a higher sensitivity. It was applied to one-pot detection of glucose and cholesterol at 25 °C and pH 7.0 for a few minutes.

Abstract
Herein, we developed a new Pd NP from the aq extract of Elsholtzia blanda Benth. flower that showed efficient peroxidase mimetic activity. The catalytic mechanism was confirmed through colorimetric analysis. The optimizations of temperature, concentration, PH and time were done to find out the best procedure to implement the intrinsic catalytic activity in practical applications. Michaelis-Menten constants were evaluated for both TMB and H2O2 substrate to investigate the affinity of Pd NP towards them. Km was observed to be 42.35 mM for H2O2 and 0.0076 mM for TMB. Antioxidants were sensed using the peroxidase mimetic property up to nanomolar levels with a LOD = 0.78 nM for Gallic acid 0.85 nM for Tannic acid. The method was further implemented in comparing the radical scavenging power of different phenolic compounds. Smart-phone based analysis was done for observing the change in colour which could further be utilized as an analytical tool for study the antioxidant activity. R-Square values of 0.97 and 0.96 for detection of gallic acid and tannic acid respectively suggest good linearity of the plot. Lastly, the system was utilized in the evaluation of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total phenolic content (TPC) in commercially available juices and beverages.

Abstract
Nanozymes have broad applications in theranostics and point-of-care tests. To enhance the catalytic activity of nanozymes, the conventional strategy is doping metals to form highly active nanoalloys. However, high-quality and stable nanoalloys are hard to synthesize. Ligand modification is a powerful strategy to achieve chemoselectivity or bioactivity by changing the surface chemistry. Here, we explore different ligands to enhance the catalytic activity of nanozymes, e.g., gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). We systematically studied the impacts on the enzymatic activity of AuNPs by ligand engineering of surface chemistry (charge, group, and surface distance). Our work established critical guidelines for surface modification of nanozymes. The amine group favors higher activity of AuNPs than other groups. The flexible amine-rich ligand enhances the catalytic activity of AuNPs in contrast to other ligands and unmodified AuNPs. Using a proof-of-concept model, we screened many candidate ligands to obtain polyamine-AuNPs, which have strongly enhanced peroxidase-like activity and 100 times enhanced sensitivity compared to unmodified AuNPs. The strategy of enhancing the catalytic activity of AuNPs using ligands will facilitate the catalysis-related applications of nanozymes in biology and diagnostics. Surface ligand engineering can precisely modulate the catalytic activity of nanozymes from inactive to highly active.![]()

Abstract
A label-free sensing strategy based on the enzyme-mimicking property of Glutathione-Ag nanoparticles (GSH-AgNPs) was demonstrated for colorimetric detection of vitamin B1 (VB1). Firstly, obvious blue color accompanied with an absorption peak at 652 nm was observed due to the high peroxidase-like activity of GSH-AgNPs towards 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Then, in the presence of VB1, the mimetic activity of GSH-AgNPs could be strongly restrained, evidenced as a promiment colorimetric change to colorless, which can be used to achieve the visualization detection VB1. Linear relationship between absorbance response and VB1 concentration from 0 to 0.2 µM were obtained. The detection limit was calculated as low as 40 nM. The inhibition reasons were thoroughly discussed. Considering the advantages of rapid response, easy procedure and high selectivity, the proposed method possesses potential application in environment and biological analysis for VB1 detection.

Abstract
Introduction Breast cancer has the highest mortality rate among cancers in women. Patients suffering from certain breast cancers, such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), lack effective treatments. This represents a clinical concern due to the associated poor prognosis and high mortality. As an approach to succeed over conventional therapy limitations, we present herein the design and evaluation of a novel nanodevice based on enzyme-functionalized gold nanoparticles to efficiently perform enzyme prodrug therapy (EPT) in breast cancer cells. Results In particular, the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) – which oxidizes the prodrug indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) to release toxic oxidative species – is incorporated on gold nanoconjugates (HRP-AuNCs), obtaining an efficient nanoplatform for EPT. The nanodevice is biocompatible and effectively internalized by breast cancer cell lines. Remarkably, co-treatment with HRP-AuNCs and IAA (HRP-AuNCs/IAA) reduces the viability of breast cancer cells below 5%. Interestingly, 3D tumor models (multicellular tumor spheroid-like cultures) co-treated with HRP-AuNCs/IAA exhibit a 74% reduction of cell viability, whereas the free formulated components (HRP, IAA) have no effect. Conclusion Altogether, our results demonstrate that the designed HRP-AuNCs nanoformulation shows a remarkable therapeutic performance. These findings might help to bypass the clinical limitations of current tumor enzyme therapies and advance towards the use of nanoformulations for EPT in breast cancer.

Abstract
Selective removal of an organic compound in the coexistence of other constituents is a great challenge in separation and purification processes. In this work, bovine serum albumin (BSA)-stabilized iridium nanoparticles (IrNPs) were prepared via a facile one-step precipitation method. The resulting BSA-IrNPs were comprehensively characterized by TEM, XRD, XPS, UV-vis, FT-IR, and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as circular dichroism spectrometry. It was found that the nanoparticles with an average diameter of 3.6 nm were embedded in the aggregated protein matrix and the structure of the coating agent was maintained well on the surface of nanoparticles. The as-prepared nanozymes (BSA-IrNPs) exhibit strong peroxidase-like activity and can selectively catalyse the degradation of cationic compounds by H2O2 in the coexistence of other inorganic or organic substances at room temperature. Interestingly, the degradation of amino acids could be precisely controlled by adjusting the pH above or below their isoelectric points. The catalytic selectivity of BSA-IrNPs should be ascribed to the anchoring effect between the amidogen-containing molecules and BSA through electrostatic adsorption. The nanozyme also exhibits excellent reusability as it can be readily recycled from solution by static settlement or centrifugation. Therefore, BSA-IrNPs have great potential for the selective removal of cationic compounds and amino acids in a complex matrix.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes (or nanozymes) have attracted great attention in the past few years owing to their capability not only to mimic functionality but also to overcome the inherent drawbacks of the natural enzymes. Numerous advantages of nanozymes such as diverse enzyme-mimicking activities, low cost, high stability, robustness, unique surface chemistry, and ease of surface tunability and biocompatibility have allowed their integration in a wide range of biosensing applications. Several metal, metal oxide, metal-organic framework-based nanozymes have been exploited for the development of biosensing systems, which present the potential for point-of-care analysis. To highlight recent progress in the field, in this review, more than 260 research articles are discussed systematically with suitable recent examples, elucidating the role of nanozymes to reinforce, miniaturize, and improve the performance of point-of-care diagnostics addressing the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to the end user) criteria formulated by World Health Organization. The review reveals that many biosensing strategies such as electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, and immunological sensors required to achieve the ASSURED standards can be implemented by using enzyme-mimicking activities of nanomaterials as signal producing components. However, basic system functionality is still lacking. Since the enzyme-mimicking properties of the nanomaterials are dictated by their size, shape, composition, surface charge, surface chemistry as well as external parameters such as pH or temperature, these factors play a crucial role in the design and function of nanozyme-based point-of-care diagnostics. Therefore, it requires a deliberate exertion to integrate various parameters for truly ASSURED solutions to be realized. This review also discusses possible limitations and research gaps to provide readers a brief scenario of the emerging role of nanozymes in state-of-the-art POC diagnosis system development for futuristic biosensing applications.

Boosting the oxidase-like activity of platinum nanozyme in MBTH-TOOS chromogenic system for detection of trypsin and its inhibitor. Talanta 2021; 234:122647.

Abstract
Nanozymes, as a new type of artificial enzyme, have recently become a research hotspot in the field of catalysis and biomedicine. However, the application of nanozyme is limited by catalytic activity changes of different substrates and low specificity. This work shows that citrate-capped platinum nanoparticles (Cit-PtNPs) exhibit stronger oxidase-like activity than other platinum nanozymes at different pH when 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinonehydrazone hydrochloride (MBTH) and n-ethyl-n- (2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-m-toluidine sodium salt (TOOS) were used as chromogenic substrates. This phenomenon has important reference value for different nanozymes to choose chromogenic substrates in catalysis. In MBTH-TOOS chromogenic system, MBTH (-NH) radical is first produced during the reaction through catalytic oxidation of Cit-PtNPs, which reacts with TOOS to produce a colorless compound. The blue-purple quinoid dye was produced through the dismutation of the colorless compound. The catalytic mechanism of the oxidase-like activity of Cit-PtNPs is that two-electron reduction process and four-electron reduction process are simultaneously carried out in the catalytic process. Furthermore, to solve the problem of low specificity of metal nanozymes, protamine is designed as aggregation promoter of Cit-PtNPs and the specifichydrolysis substrate of trypsin. In this work, it can achieve one-step detection of trypsin by the boosting oxidase activity of Cit-PtNPs at pH8. The catalytic activity of Cit-PtNPs is proportional to the concentration of trypsin. The linear range for trypsin is 1.0-70.0 ngmL-1 and the limit of detection is measured to be 0.6 ngmL-1. This novel method has also been successfully applied to the detection of inhibitors and trypsin in urine samples.
