Bifunctional oxidase-peroxidase mimicking Fe-Ce MOF on paper-based analytical devices to intensify luminol chemiluminescence: Application for measuring different sugars with a smartphone readout. Talanta 2024; 276:126219. [PMID: 38733936 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
This study presents a potent paper-based analytical device (PAD) for quantifying various sugars using an innovative bi-nanozyme made from a 2-dimensional Fe/Ce metal-organic framework (FeCe-BTC). The MOF showed excellent bifunctional peroxidase-oxidase activities, efficiently catalyzing luminol's chemiluminescence (CL) reaction. As a peroxidase-like nanozyme, FeCe-BTC could facilitate the dissociation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into hydroxyl radicals, which then oxidize luminol. Additionally, it was also discovered that when reacting with H2O2, the MOF turns into a mixed-valence MOF, and acts as an oxidase nanozyme. This activity is caused by the generated Ce4+ ions in the structure of MOF that can directly oxidize luminol. The MOF was directly synthesized on the PAD and cascaded with specific natural enzymes to establish simple, rapid, and selective CL sensors for the measurement of different sugars. A cell phone was also used to record light intensities, which were then correlated to the analyte concentration. The designed PAD showed a wide linear range of 0.1-10 mM for glucose, fructose, and sucrose, with detection limits of 0.03, 0.04, and 0.04 mM, respectively. It showed satisfactory results in food and biological samples with recovery values ranging from 95.8 to 102.4 %, which makes it a promising candidate for point-of-care (POC) testing for food control and medicinal purposes.

Abstract
The effects of an increasingly elderly population are among the most far-reaching in 21st-century society. The growing healthcare expense is mainly attributable to the increased incidence of chronic illnesses that accompany longer life expectancies. Different ideas have been put up to explain aging, but it is widely accepted that oxidative damage to proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids contributes to the aging process. Increases in life expectancy in all contemporary industrialized cultures are accompanied by sharp increases in the prevalence of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular and neurological conditions, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancer. Therefore, academic and public health authorities should prioritize the development of therapies to increase health span. Nanozyme (NZ)-like activity in nanomaterials has been identified as promising anti-aging nanomedicines. More than that, nanomaterials displaying catalytic activities have evolved as artificial enzymes with high structural stability, variable catalytic activity, and functional diversity for use in a wide range of biological settings, including those dealing with age-related disorders. Due to their inherent enzyme-mimicking qualities, enzymes have attracted significant interest in treating diseases associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS). The effects of NZs on aging and age-related disorders are summarized in this article. Finally, prospects and threats to enzyme research and use in aging and age-related disorders are offered.

Abstract
Biothiol assays offer vital insights into health assessment and facilitate the early detection of potential health issues, thereby enabling timely and effective interventions. In this study, we developed ultrasmall CuMn-Histidine (His) nanozymes with multiple enzymatic activities. CuMn-His enhanced peroxidase (POD)-like activity at neutral pH was achieved through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic effects. In addition, CuMn-His possesses laccase (LAC)-like and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities at neutral pH. Based on three different enzyme mimetic activities of CuMn-His at neutral pH, the colorimetric sensing array without changing the buffer solution was successfully constructed. The array was successfully used for the identification of three biothiols, glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), and homocysteine (Hcy). Subsequently, excellent application results were shown in complex serum and cellular level analyses. This study provides an innovative strategy for the development of ultrasmall bimetallic nanozymes with multiple enzymatic activities and the construction of colorimetric sensing arrays.

Abstract
Rabies is a zoonotic infection with the potential to infect all mammals and poses a significant threat to mortality. Although enzyme-linked immunosorbent tests and real-time reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) have been established for rabies virus (RABV) detection, they require skilled staff. Here, we introduce a personal glucose meter (PGM)-based nucleic acid (NA-PGM) detection method to diagnose RABV. This method ensures sensitive and convenient RABV diagnosis through hybridization of reverse transcription-recombinase aided amplification (RT-RAA) amplicons with probes labeled with sucrose-converting enzymes, reaching a detection level as low as 6.3 copies/μL equivalent to 12.26 copies. NA-PGM allows for the differentiation of RABV from other closely related viruses. In addition, NA-PGM showed excellent performance on 65 clinical samples with a 100% accuracy rate compared with the widely adopted RT-qPCR method. Thus, our developed NA-PGM method stands out as sensitive, semiquantitative, and portable for RABV detection, showcasing promise as a versatile platform for a wide range of pathogens.

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
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess unmatched chemical, biological, and physical properties that make them unique compounds as antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, and anticancer agents. With the increasing drug resistance, AgNPs serve as promising entities for targeted drug therapy against several bacterial, fungal, and viral components. In addition, AgNPs also serve as successful anticancer agents against several cancers, including breast, prostate, and lung cancers. Several works in recent years have been done towards the development of AgNPs by using plant extracts like flowers, leaves, bark, root, stem, and whole plant parts. The green method of AgNP synthesis thus has several advantages over chemical and physical methods, especially the low cost of synthesis, no toxic byproducts, eco-friendly production pathways, can be easily regenerated, and the bio-reducing potential of plant derived nanoparticles. Furthermore, AgNPs are biocompatible and do not harm normally functioning human or host cells. This review provides an exhaustive overview and potential of green synthesized AgNPs that can be used as antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, and anticancer agents. After a brief introduction, we discussed the recent studies on the development of AgNPs from different plant extracts, including leaf parts, seeds, flowers, stems, bark, root, and whole plants. In the following section, we highlighted the different therapeutic actions of AgNPs against various bacteria, fungi, viruses, and cancers, including breast, prostate, and lung cancers. We then highlighted the general mechanism of action of AgNPs. The advantages of the green synthesis method over chemical and physical methods were then discussed in the article. Finally, we concluded the review by providing future perspectives on this promising field in nanotechnology.

Abstract
Bioanalysis faces challenges in achieving fast, reliable, and point-of-care (POC) determination methods for timely diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. POC devices often display lower sensitivity compared to laboratory-based methods, limiting their ability to quantify low concentrations of target analytes. To enhance sensitivity, the synthesis of new materials and improvement of the efficiency of the analytical strategies are necessary. Enzyme-mimicking materials have revolutionized the field of the fabrication of new high-throughput sensing devices. The integration of microfluidic chips with analytical techniques offers several benefits, such as easy miniaturization, need for low biological sample volume, etc., while also enhancing the sensitivity of the probe. The use enzyme-like nanomaterials in microfluidic systems can offer portable strategies for real-time and reliable detection of biological agents. Colorimetry and electrochemical methods are commonly utilized in the fabrication of nanozyme-based microfluidic systems. The review summarizes recent developments in enzyme-mimicking materials-integrated microfluidic analytical methods in biomedical analysis and discusses the current challenges, advantages, and potential future directions.

Abstract
Pathogenic bacterial infections, even at extremely low concentrations, pose significant threats to human health. However, the challenge persists in achieving high-sensitivity bacterial detection, particularly in complex samples. Herein, we present a novel sandwich-type electrochemical sensor utilizing bacteria-imprinted polymer (BIP) coupled with vancomycin-conjugated MnO2 nanozyme (Van@BSA-MnO2) for the ultrasensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria, exemplified by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The BIP, in situ prepared on the electrode surface, acts as a highly specific capture probe by replicating the surface features of S. aureus. Vancomycin (Van), known for its affinity to bacterial cell walls, is conjugated with a Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-templated MnO2 nanozyme through EDC/NHS chemistry. The resulting Van@BSA-MnO2 complex, serving as a detection probe, provides an efficient catalytic platform for signal amplification. Upon binding with the captured S. aureus, the Van@BSA-MnO2 complex catalyzes a substrate reaction, generating a current signal proportional to the target bacterial concentration. The sensor displays remarkable sensitivity, capable of detecting a single bacterial cell in a phosphate buffer solution. Even in complex milk matrices, it maintains outstanding performance, identifying S. aureus at concentrations as low as 10 CFU mL-1 without requiring intricate sample pretreatment. Moreover, the sensor demonstrates excellent selectivity, particularly in distinguishing target S. aureus from interfering bacteria of the same genus at concentrations 100-fold higher. This innovative method, employing entirely synthetic materials, provides a versatile and low-cost detection platform for Gram-positive bacteria. In comparison to existing nanozyme-based bacterial sensors with biological recognition materials, our assay offers distinct advantages, including enhanced sensitivity, ease of preparation, and cost-effectiveness, thereby holding significant promise for applications in food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
The sensitive and accurate detection of target microRNA is especially important for the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, we report a simple strand displacement and CRISPR-Cas12a amplification strategy with nanozymes as a signal reporter for the binary visual and colorimetric detection of the HCC related microRNA. Pt@Au nanozymes with excellent peroxidase enzyme activity were prepared and linked to magnetic beads via a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) linker. The target microRNA was designed to trigger strand displacement amplification and release a DNA promoter to activate the CRISPR-Cas12a system. The activated CRISPR-Cas12a system efficiently cleaved the linker ssDNA and released Pt@Au nanozymes from magnetic beads to induce the colorimetric reaction of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine. The strand displacement amplification converted the single microRNA input into abundant DNA promoter output, which improved the detection sensitivity by over two orders of magnitude. Through integration of strand displacement amplification and the nanozyme-mediated CRISPR-Cas12a system, limits of detection of 0.5 pM and 10 pM for miRNA-21 were achieved with colorimetric and visual readouts, respectively. The proposed strategy can achieve accurate quantitative detection of miRNA-21 in the range from 1 pM to 500 pM. The detection results for miRNA-21 using both colorimetric and visual readouts were validated in 40 clinical serum samples. Significantly, the proposed strategy achieved visual HCC diagnosis with the naked eye and could distinguish distinct Barcelona clinical HCC stages by colorimetric detection, showing good application prospects for sensitive and facile point-of-care testing for HCC.

Abstract
Since the discovery of ferromagnetic nanoparticles Fe3O4 that exhibit enzyme-like activity in 2007, the research on nanoenzymes has made significant progress. With the in-depth study of various nanoenzymes and the rapid development of related nanotechnology, nanoenzymes have emerged as a promising alternative to natural enzymes. Within nanozymes, there is a category of metal-based single-atom nanozymes that has been rapidly developed due to low cast, convenient preparation, long storage, less immunogenicity, and especially higher efficiency. More importantly, single-atom nanozymes possess the capacity to scavenge reactive oxygen species through various mechanisms, which is beneficial in the tissue repair process. Herein, this paper systemically highlights the types of metal single-atom nanozymes, their catalytic mechanisms, and their recent applications in tissue repair. The existing challenges are identified and the prospects of future research on nanozymes composed of metallic nanomaterials are proposed. We hope this review will illuminate the potential of single-atom nanozymes in tissue repair, encouraging their sequential clinical translation.

Metal oxide nanomaterials based electrochemical and optical biosensors for biomedical applications: Recent advances and future prospectives. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 247:118002. [PMID: 38151147 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.118002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
The amalgamation of nanostructures with modern electrochemical and optical techniques gave rise to interesting devices, so-called biosensors. A biosensor is an analytical tool that incorporates various biomolecules with an appropriate physicochemical transducer. Over the past few years, metal oxide nanomaterials (MONMs) have significantly stimulated biosensing research due to their desired functionalities, versatile chemical stability, and low cost along with their unique optical, catalytic, electrical, and adsorption properties that provide an attractive platform for linking the biomolecules, for example, antibodies, nucleic acids, enzymes, and receptor proteins as sensing elements with the transducer for the detection of signals or signal amplifications. The signals to be measured are in direct proportionate to the concentration of the bioanalyte. Because of their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, portability, quick analysis, higher sensitivity, and selectivity against a broad range of biosamples, MONMs-based electrochemical and optical biosensing platforms are exhaustively explored as powerful early-diagnosis tools for point of care applications. Herein, we made a bibliometric analysis of past twenty years (2004-2023) on the application of MONMs as electrochemical and optical biosensing units using Web of Science database and the results of which clearly reveal the increasing number of publications since 2004. Geographical area distribution analysis of these publications shows that China tops the list followed by the United States of America and India. In this review, we first describe the electrochemical and optical properties of MONMs that are crucial for the creation of extremely stable, specific, and sensitive sensors with desirable characteristics. Then, the biomedical applications of MONMs-based bare and hybrid electrochemical and optical biosensing frameworks are highlighted in the light of recent literature. Finally, current limitations and future challenges in the field of biosensing technology are addressed.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are the second leading cause of death around the world, especially those caused by delayed treatment and misdiagnosis. Therefore, rapid discrimination and effective elimination of multiple bacteria are of great importance for improving the survival rate in clinic. Herein, a novel colorimetric sensor array for bacterial discrimination and elimination is constructed using programmable DNA-encoded iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) as sensing elements. Utilizing differential interactions of bacteria on DNA-encoded IONPs, 11 kinds of dental bacteria and 6 kinds of proteins have been successfully identified by linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Moreover, the developed sensing system also performs well in the quantitative determination of individual bacteria and identification of bacterial mixtures. More importantly, the practicability of this sensing strategy is further verified by precise differentiation of blind and artificial saliva samples. Furthermore, the sensor array is used for efficiently killing multiple bacteria, demonstrating great potential in clinical prophylaxis and therapy.

Abstract
Nanozymes represent a class of nanosized materials that exhibit innate catalytic properties similar to biological enzymes. The unique features of these materials have positioned them as promising candidates for applications in clinical sensing devices, specifically those employed at the point-of-care. They notably have found use as a means to amplify signals in nanosensor-based platforms and thereby improve sensor detection limits. Recent developments in the understanding of the fundamental chemistries underpinning these materials have enabled the development of highly effective nanozymes capable of sensing clinically relevant biomarkers at detection limits that compete with "gold-standard" techniques. However, there remain considerable hurdles that need to be overcome before these nanozyme-based sensors can be utilized in a platform ready for clinical use. An overview of the current understandings of nanozymes for disease diagnostics and biosensing applications and the unmet challenges that must be considered prior to their translation in clinical diagnostic tests is provided.

Abstract
Nanozymes with peroxidase (POD)-like activity have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional performance in colorimetric assays. However, nanozymes often possess oxidase (OD) and POD-like activity simultaneously, which affects the accuracy and sensitivity of the detection results. To address this issue, inspired by the catalytic pocket of natural POD, a single-atom nanozyme with FeN5 configuration is designed, exhibiting enhanced POD-like activity in comparison with a single-atom nanozyme with FeN4 configuration. The axial N atom in FeN5 highly mimics the amino acid residues in natural POD to optimize the electronic structure of the metal active center Fe, realizing the efficient activation of H2O2. In addition, in the presence of both H2O2 and O2, FeN5 enhances the activation of H2O2, effectively avoiding the interference of dissolved oxygen in colorimetric sensing. As a proof-of-concept application, a colorimetric detection platform for uranyl ions (UO22+) in seawater is successfully constructed, demonstrating satisfactory sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders pose a significant challenge to global healthcare, with Alzheimer's disease (AD) being one of the most prevalent forms. Early and accurate detection of amyloid-β (Aβ) (1-42) monomers, a key biomarker of AD pathology, is crucial for effective diagnosis and intervention of the disease. Current gold standard detection techniques for Aβ include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and surface plasmon resonance. Although reliable, they are limited by their cost and time-consuming nature, thus restricting their point-of-care applicability. Here we present a sensitive and rapid colorimetric sensor for the detection of Aβ (1-42) monomers within 5 min. This was achieved by harnessing the peroxidase-like activity of metal-loaded metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), specifically UiO-66-NH2, coupled with the strong affinity of Aβ (1-42) to the MOFs. Various metal-loaded MOFs were synthesized and investigated, and platinum-loaded UiO-66-NH2 was identified as the optimal candidate for our purpose. The Pt-loaded UiO-66-NH2 sensor demonstrated detection limits of 2.76 and 4.65 nM Aβ (1-42) monomers in water and cerebrospinal fluid, respectively, with a linear range from 0.75 to 25 nM (R2 = 0.9712), outperforming traditional detection techniques in terms of both detection time and complexity. Moreover, the assay was specific toward Aβ (1-42) monomers when evaluated against interfering compounds. The rapid and cost-effective sensor may help circumvent the limitations of conventional detection methods, thus providing a promising avenue for early AD diagnosis and facilitating improved clinical outcomes.

Abstract
This study investigates the co-catalytic capabilities of MoO3 nanosheets in enhancing the enzyme-like catalytic activity of a two-dimensional ultrathin Fe(III)-modified covalent triazine framework (Fe-CTF) under neutral pH conditions. The unique physicochemical surface properties and two-dimensional structures of Fe-CTF enable the direct immobilization of native enzymes (glucose oxidase (GOD) and xanthine oxidase (XOD)) through adsorption, eliminating the need for chemical processes. Efficient immobilization of the native enzymes within the Fe-CTF/GOD(XOD) hybrid is achieved through multipoint attachment involving various interactions. The Fe-CTF/MoO3 co-catalytic system exhibits enzyme-mimicking activity at neutral pH and, when combined with the high catalytic activity of the immobilized native enzymes, enables the development of a colorimetric method for glucose detection. This method demonstrates excellent facilitation, rapidity, sensitivity, and selectivity, with a linear detection range of 50-1000 μM and a limit of detection of 8.8 μM for glucose. Furthermore, a straightforward one-pot colorimetric method is established for screening XOD inhibitors. The inhibitory potential of a crude extract derived from Chinese water chestnut peel on XOD activity is evaluated using this method. The findings of this study pave the way for the utilization of nanozyme/native enzyme hybrids in pH-neutral conditions for one-pot colorimetric sensing. This work contributes to the advancement of enzyme-based sensing technologies and holds promise for various applications in biosensing and biomedical research.

Due to their transforming nature, nanozymes are of utmost importance in the detection and treatment of cancer. They enable precise cancer detection, tailored drug delivery, and catalytic therapy. Through enhanced diagnosis, personalized therapies, and reduced side effects, their adaptability and biocompatibility can transform the management of cancer. The review focuses on metal and metal oxide-based nanozymes, highlighting their catalytic processes, and their applications in the prevention and treatment of cancer. It emphasizes their potential to alter diagnosis and therapy, particularly when it comes to controlling reactive oxygen species (ROS). The article reveals the game-changing importance of nanozymes in the future of cancer care and describes future research objectives, making it a useful resource for researchers, and scientists.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae, a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterium, mainly found in the hospital environment and medical tools. It is the leading cause of nosocomial infection, characterized by bloodstream infection, wound site infection, urinary tract infection, and sepsis, mostly in older adults, newborn infants, and immunocompromised patients. This present study demonstrated a novel diagnostic method for K. pneumoniae detection based on the gold nanozyme activity for the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2. The nanozyme activity of AuNPs with staining enhancement was statistically three times higher than that of the bare AuNPs in solid absorption at 650 nm. Nano-ELISA with staining enhancement could detect as low as 102 CFUs/mL of K. pneumoniae concentration, as the cutoff value was determined to be 0.158, which boosted the sensitivity of the immunoreactions by up to 100-fold. The detection limit of our assays was 26.023 CFUs/mL, and the limit of quantification was 78.857 CFUs/mL. There was no cross-reaction against other bacteria, which proved the immunoassays' remarkable specificity for recognizing K. pneumoniae. Taken together, we successfully developed and optimized the highly sensitive and decently specific nano-ELISA strategy that might be applicable for detecting various other bacterial pathogens.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 303:123212. [PMID: 37523851 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
Artificial peroxidases have garnered a lot of attention owing to their tremendous superiority over their natural counterparts. Here, NiMn2O4 nanoparticles have been successfully prepared through PEG assisted hydrothermal method. The varied PEG concentrations significantly altered the morphology and particle size of the synthesizedmaterials. We demonstrate the improved peroxide-like assay of different NiMn2O4 nanoparticles for the first time. Among them, Ni4 nanoparticles exhibit good peroxidase-like activity by generating the oxidation of chromogenic substrate 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2 and a blue color charge transfer product with an absorption maximum is positioned at 652 nm. These observations led to the development of a method for assessingH2O2 that can be read visually and photometrically. The Ni4 nanoparticles show enhanced kinetics compared to the natural enzyme horse radish peroxidase (HRP) with a lower Km (0.168 mM) value. Additionally, this Ni4 nanosphere applies as a visible light photocatalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (Rh B) dyes under visible-light irradiation. Under optimized conditions, the degradationrates of MB and Rh B are 68 and 80.7 %, respectively, after 210 min, and recyclable efficiency is about 99 % for Rh B photocatalytic degradation in the first test and 98 % for five cycles, and about 98 % for MB photocatalytic degradation in the first test and 97 % for five cycles.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), as a type of subcellular structure, have been extensively researched for their potential for developing advanced diagnostic technologies for various diseases. However, the biomolecular and biophysical heterogeneity of EVs has restricted their application in clinical settings. In this article, we developed a size-exclusion chromatography-based technique for simultaneous EV size subtyping and protein profiling. By eluting fluorescent aptamer-treated patient plasma through a size-exclusion column, the mixture can be classified into 50 nm aptamer-bound EVs, 100 nm aptamer-bound EVs and free-floating aptamers, which could further enable multiplex EV membrane protein profiling by analyzing the fluorescence intensities of EV-bound aptamers. Using this technique, we successfully identified EV size subtypes for differentiating gastrointestinal cancer prognosis states. Overall, we developed a rapid, user-friendly and low-cost EV size subtyping and protein profiling technique, which holds great potential for identifying crucial EV size subtypes for disease diagnosis in the clinic.

Abstract
Nanozymes show great promise in enhancing disease biomarker sensing by leveraging their physicochemical properties and enzymatic activities. These qualities facilitate signal amplification and matrix effects reduction, thus boosting biomarker sensing performance. In this review, recent studies from the last five years, concentrating on disease biomarker detection improvement through nanozyme-based biosensing are examined. This enhancement primarily involves the modulations of the size, morphology, doping, modification, electromagnetic mechanisms, electron conduction efficiency, and surface plasmon resonance effects of nanozymes for increased sensitivity. In addition, a comprehensive description of the synthesis and tuning strategies employed for nanozymes has been provided. This includes a detailed elucidation of their catalytic mechanisms in alignment with the fundamental principles of enhanced sensing technology, accompanied by the presentation of quantitatively analyzed results. Moreover, the diverse applications of nanozymes in strip sensing, colorimetric sensing, electrochemical sensing, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering have been outlined. Additionally, the limitations, challenges, and corresponding recommendations concerning the application of nanozymes in biosensing have been summarized. Furthermore, insights have been offered into the future development and outlook of nanozymes for biosensing. This review aims to serve not only as a reference for enhancing the sensitivity of nanozyme-based biosensors but also as a catalyst for exploring nanozyme properties and their broader applications in biosensing.

Abstract
Despite their potential for oxidation of persistent environmental pollutants, the development of rational and sustainable laccase nanozymes with efficient catalytic performance remains a challenge. Herein, fungal-produced chitosan-copper (CsCu) is proposed as a rational and sustainable bionanozyme with intrinsic laccase activity. The CsCu nanozyme was prepared by in situ reduction of copper on chitosan extracted from Irpex sp. isolate AWK2 a native fungus, from traditional fermented foods, yielding a low molecular weight chitosan with a 70% degree of deacetylation. Characterizations of the nanozyme using SEM-EDX, XRD, and XPS confirmed the presence of a multi-oxidation state copper on the chitosan matrix which is consistent with the composition of natural laccase. The laccase memetic activity was investigated using 2,4-DP as a substrate which oxidized to form a reddish-pink color with 4-AP (λmax = 510 nm). The CsCu nanozyme showed 38% higher laccase activity than the pristine Cu NPs at pH 9, indicating enhanced activity in the presence of chitosan structure. Further, CsCu showed significant stability in harsh conditions and exhibited a lower Km (0.26 mM) which is competitive with that reported for natural laccase. Notably, the nanozyme converted 92% of different phenolic substrates in 5 h, signifying a robust performance for environmental remediation purposes.

Abstract
Nanozymes have captured significant attention as a versatile and promising alternative to natural enzymes in catalytic applications, with wide-ranging implications for both diagnosis and therapy. However, the limited selectivity exhibited by many nanozymes presents challenges to their efficacy in diagnosis and raises concerns regarding their impact on the progression of disease treatments. In this article, we explore the latest innovations aimed at enhancing the selectivity of nanozymes, thereby expanding their applications in theranostic nanoplatforms. We place paramount importance on the critical development of highly selective nanozymes and present innovative strategies that have yielded remarkable outcomes in augmenting selectivities. The strategies encompass enhancements in analyte selectivity by incorporating recognition units, refining activity selectivity through the meticulous control of structural and elemental composition, integrating synergistic materials, fabricating selective nanomaterials, and comprehensively fine-tuning selectivity via approaches such as surface modification, cascade nanozyme systems, and manipulation of external stimuli. Additionally, we propose optimized approaches to propel the further advancement of these tailored nanozymes while considering the limitations associated with existing techniques. Our ultimate objective is to present a comprehensive solution that effectively addresses the limitations attributed to non-selective nanozymes, thus unlocking the full potential of these catalytic systems in the realm of theranostics.

Abstract
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are currently the most widely used point-of-care testing technique with remarkable advantages such as simple operation, rapid analysis, portability, and low cost. Traditionally, gold nanoparticles are employed as tracer element in LFAs due to their strong localised surface plasmon resonance. However, this conventional LFA technique based on colorimetric analysis is neither useful to determine critical analytes with desired sensitivity, nor can it quantify the analytes. Various signal amplification strategies have been proposed to improve the sensitivity and the quantitative determination of analytes using LFAs. One of the promising strategies is to enhance the photothermal properties of nanomaterials to generate heat after light irradiation, followed by a temperature measurement to detect and quantify the analyte concentration. Recently, it has been observed that the nanoscale architecture of materials, including size, shape, and nanoscale composition, plays a significant role in enhancing the photothermal properties of nanomaterials. In this review, we discuss the nanoarchitectonics of nanomaterials regarding enhanced photothermal properties and their application in LFAs. Initially, we discuss various important photothermal materials and their classification along with their working principle. Then, we highlight important aspects of the nanoscale architecture (i.e., size, shape, and composition) to enable maximum light-to-heat conversion efficiency. Finally, we discuss some of the recent advances in photothermal LFAs and their application in detecting analytes.

Abstract
Natural enzymes are used as special reagents for the preparation of electrochemical (bio)sensors due to their ability to catalyze processes, improving the selectivity of detection. However, some drawbacks, such as denaturation in harsh experimental conditions and their rapid de- gradation, as well as the high cost and difficulties in recycling them, restrict their practical applications. Nowadays, the use of artificial enzymes, mostly based on nanomaterials, mimicking the functions of natural products, has been growing. These so-called nanozymes present several advantages over natural enzymes, such as enhanced stability, low cost, easy production, and rapid activity. These outstanding features are responsible for their widespread use in areas such as catalysis, energy, imaging, sensing, or biomedicine. These materials can be divided into two main groups: metal and carbon-based nanozymes. The latter provides additional advantages compared to metal nanozymes, i.e., stable and tuneable activity and good biocompatibility, mimicking enzyme activities such as those of peroxidase, catalase, oxidase, superoxide dismutase, nuclease, or phosphatase. In this review article, we have focused on the use of carbon-based nanozymes for the preparation of electrochemical (bio)sensors. The main features of the most recent applications have been revised and illustrated with examples selected from the literature over the last four years (since 2020).

Abstract
Nanozymes are synthetic compounds with enzyme-like tunable catalytic properties. The success of nanozymes for catalytic applications can be attributed to their small dimensions, cost-effective synthesis, appreciable stability, and scalability to molecular dimensions. The emergence of single atom nanozymes (SANzymes) has opened up new possibilities in bioanalytical applications. In this regard, this review outlines enzyme-mimicking features of SANzymes for food safety applications in relation to the key variables controlling their catalytic performance. The discussion is extended further to cover the applications of SANzymes for the monitoring of various compounds/biomaterials of significance with respect to food safety (e.g., pesticides, veterinary drug residues, foodborne pathogenic bacteria, mycotoxins/bacterial endotoxin, antioxidant residues, hydrogen peroxide residues, and heavy metal ions). Furthermore, the performance of SANzymes is evaluated in terms of various performance metrics such as limit of detection (LOD), linear dynamic range, and figure of merit (FoM). The challenges and future road map for the applications of SANzymes are also addressed along with their upscaling in the area of food safety.

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
Due to the neural toxicity of mercury, there is a need for the development of on-site detection systems for Hg2+ monitoring. To this end, a new colorimetric mercury detection probe, Fe3O4@SiO2@Au (magnetic-Au; Mag-Au) hybrid nanoparticles, has been developed. The Au on the surface of Mag-Au is an indicator of Hg2+, which forms an AuHg alloy (amalgam) on their surface (Mag-Au@Hg), with excellent peroxidase-like activity. The oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine by Mag-Au@Hg resulted in a color change of the indicator solution, which was enhanced with increasing Hg2+ concentration. Mag-Au can be used to detect Hg2+ at nanomolar concentrations. Additionally, magnetic separation can be used to easily purify and concentrate the Mag-Au@Hg from samples, and thus avoid interference from unwanted residues or colored samples. The feasibility of Mag-Au for Hg2+ detection was tested with an artificial urine solution and it can be used to detect Hg2+ in various real samples, such as river water, seawater, food, and biological samples.

Abstract
Cysteine is one of the important amino acids that is involved in various physiological processes, food industries, pharmaceuticals, and personal care. It also serves as a biomarker for some diseases. The large use of cysteine necessitates rapid, cheap, and accurate determination of cysteine in a range of samples. Although many techniques have been employed for the detection of cysteine, they suffer from limitations that make them unsuitable for routine analysis. Here we report on a cheap colorimetric method using biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as nanozymes. The AgNPs were characterized by UV/visible spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The AgNPs exhibit peroxidase-like activity using o-phenylenediamine (OPD) as a chromogenic reagent. The low Km values observed for OPD and H2O2 (0.9133 and 61.56 mM respectively) show strong affinity of the substrates to AgNPs. The peroxidase-like activity of AgNPs, however, was inhibited on the addition of cysteine. The results show that the absorption intensity of the oxidized OPD decreased linearly with the concentration of cysteine in the range of 0.5-20 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) in this linear range was found to be as low as 90.4 nM. The recovery from urine sample (spiked with cysteine) analyses demonstrated the feasibility of the method in real sample application.

Abstract
Recent innovations in point-of-care (POC) diagnostic technologies have paved a critical road for the improved application of biomedicine through the deployment of accurate and affordable programs into resource-scarce settings. The utilization of antibodies as a bio-recognition element in POC devices is currently limited due to obstacles associated with cost and production, impeding its widespread adoption. One promising alternative, on the other hand, is aptamer integration, i.e., short sequences of single-stranded DNA and RNA structures. The advantageous properties of these molecules are as follows: small molecular size, amenability to chemical modification, low- or nonimmunogenic characteristics, and their reproducibility within a short generation time. The utilization of these aforementioned features is critical in developing sensitive and portable POC systems. Furthermore, the deficiencies related to past experimental efforts to improve biosensor schematics, including the design of biorecognition elements, can be tackled with the integration of computational tools. These complementary tools enable the prediction of the reliability and functionality of the molecular structure of aptamers. In this review, we have overviewed the usage of aptamers in the development of novel and portable POC devices, in addition to highlighting the insights that simulations and other computational methods can provide into the use of aptamer modeling for POC integration.

A Rational Design of Metal-Organic Framework Nanozyme with High-Performance Copper Active Centers for Alleviating Chemical Corneal Burns. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2023; 15:112.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant research interest in biomimetic catalysis. However, the modulation of the activity of MOFs by precisely tuning the coordination of metal nodes is still a significant challenge. Inspired by metalloenzymes with well-defined coordination structures, a series of MOFs containing halogen-coordinated copper nodes (Cu-X MOFs, X = Cl, Br, I) are employed to elucidate their structure-activity relationship. Intriguingly, experimental and theoretical results strongly support that precisely tuning the coordination of halogen atoms directly regulates the enzyme-like activities of Cu-X MOFs by influencing the spatial configuration and electronic structure of the Cu active center. The optimal Cu-Cl MOF exhibits excellent superoxide dismutase-like activity with a specific activity one order of magnitude higher than the reported Cu-based nanozymes. More importantly, by performing enzyme-mimicking catalysis, the Cu-Cl MOF nanozyme can significantly scavenge reactive oxygen species and alleviate oxidative stress, thus effectively relieving ocular chemical burns. Mechanistically, the antioxidant and antiapoptotic properties of Cu-Cl MOF are achieved by regulating the NRF2 and JNK or P38 MAPK pathways. Our work provides a novel way to refine MOF nanozymes by directly engineering the coordination microenvironment and, more significantly, demonstrating their potential therapeutic effect in ophthalmic disease.

Abstract
Being emerged as alternatives to natural enzymes, nanozymes have recently drawn much attention in sensing. Herein, the first multicomponent transition metal dicalchogenide (TMD)-based nanozyme (MCFS/rGO) was synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method and characterized. This peroxidase-mimic nanozyme follows the typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics, showing a higher affinity for H2O2 substrate (Km = 9 μM) compared to that of natural peroxidase (Km = 3700 μM). The remarkable potential of the MCFS/rGO nanozyme to detect H2O2 provided us with a great opportunity to design some simple and fast colorimetric sensing systems. Coupling the efficient peroxidase-mimicking activity of the nanozyme with the H2O2 production capacity of white blood cells (WBCs) leads to the development of a novel, simple, rapid, and efficient colorimetric method to distinguish leukocytosis-related patients from healthy people by the naked eye. This pioneering diagnostic technique can also be utilized to quantitatively measure the WBC count. Moreover, we coupled the mentioned nanozyme-based system with the activity of glucose oxidase enzyme available in different types of honey samples, an innovative mechanism proved to be an effective quality indicator of the samples. Last but not least, the MCFS/rGO nanozyme is also able to determine the quantity of some biologically significant analytes, including glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid (AA), and mercury ions (Hg2+), of which the limit of detection (LOD) was 9.3 nM, 22.5 nM, and 0.32 μM, respectively. Our results, however, demonstrated the superior performance of the MCFS/rGO nanozyme to determine the first two mentioned bioanalytes compared with other TMDs. Overall, this novel nanozyme-based sensor system can be considered a suitable candidate for developing multipurpose biosensors for medical and biochemical applications.

Abstract
This review highlights the recent advancements in the field of nanozymes and their applications in the development of point-of-care biosensors. The use of nanozymes as enzyme-mimicking components in biosensing systems has led to improved performance and miniaturization of these sensors. The unique properties of nanozymes, such as high stability, robustness, and surface tunability, make them an attractive alternative to traditional enzymes in biosensing applications. Researchers have explored a wide range of nanomaterials, including metals, metal oxides, and metal-organic frameworks, for the development of nanozyme-based biosensors. Different sensing strategies, such as colorimetric, fluorescent, electrochemical and SERS, have been implemented using nanozymes as signal-producing components. Despite the numerous advantages, there are also challenges associated with nanozyme-based biosensors, including stability and specificity, which need to be addressed for their wider applications. The future of nanozyme-based biosensors looks promising, with the potential to bring a paradigm shift in biomolecular sensing. The development of highly specific, multi-enzyme mimicking nanozymes could lead to the creation of highly sensitive and low-biofouling biosensors. Integration of nanozymes into point-of-care diagnostics promises to revolutionize healthcare by improving patient outcomes and reducing costs while enhancing the accuracy and sensitivity of diagnostic tools.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a class of catalytic nanomaterials, have shown great potential to substitute natural enzymes in various applications. Nevertheless, the pursuit of high-efficiency peroxidase-like activity in a wide pH range is one of the major challenges existing in designing nanozymes. A feasible strategy is to construct an artificial active center by using porous materials as stable supporting structures, which can actively modulate biocatalytic activities via their porous atomic structures and more active sites. Herein, a gold nanoparticles/metal-organic framework (MOF) heterostructure was prepared using UiO-66 as a stable support structure (Au NPs/UiO-66), which demonstrates enhanced peroxidase-like activity, ∼8.95 times higher than that of pure Au NPs. Strikingly, Au NPs/UiO-66 exhibits excellent stability (maintains above 80% activity at 40-70 °C and retains 93% activity after 3 months of storage) and sustained high relative activity (above 90%) over a pH range of 5.0-9.0 due to the homogeneous dispersibility of free-ligand Au NPs and the strong chemical interaction between the Au NPs and the UiO-66 host. Moreover, a colorimetric assay of ascorbic acid (AA) and three AA-related biological enzymes was developed based on Au NPs/UiO-66 nanozyme, which has a good linear detection range and excellent anti-interference ability. This work provides important guidance for the expansion of metal NPs/MOF heterostructure nanozymes and their application prospects in the development of biosensors.

Abstract
Digitized telemedicine tools with the Internet of Things (IoT) started advancing into our daily lives and have been incorporated with commercial wearable gadgets for noninvasive remote health monitoring. The newly established tools have been steered toward a new era of decentralized healthcare. The advancement of a telemedicine wearable monitoring system has attracted enormous interest in the multimodal big data acquisition of real-time physiological and biochemical information via noninvasive methods for any health-related industries. The expectation of telemedicine wearable creation has been focused on early diagnosis of multiple diseases and minimizing the cost of high-tech and invasive treatments. However, only limited progress has been directed toward the development of telemedicine wearable sensors. This Perspective addresses the advancement of these wearable sensors that encounter multiple challenges on the forefront and technological gaps hampering the realization of health monitoring at molecular levels related to smart materials mostly limited to single use, issues of selectivity to analytes, low sensitivity to targets, miniaturization, and lack of artificial intelligence to perform multiple tasks and secure big data transfer. Sensor stability with minimized signal drift, on-body sensor reusability, and long-term continuous health monitoring provides key analytical challenges. This Perspective also focuses on, promotes, and highlights wearable sensors with a distinct capability to interconnect with telemedicine healthcare for physical sensing and multiplex sensing at deeper levels. Moreover, it points out some critical challenges in different material aspects and promotes what it will take to advance the current state-of-art wearable sensors for telemedicine healthcare. Ultimately, this Perspective is to draw attention to some potential blind spots of wearable technology development and to inspire further development of this integrated technology in mitigating multimorbidity in aging societies through health monitoring at molecular levels to identify signs of diseases.

Abstract
When nanozymes are used in biological analysis, higher activity can improve the detection sensitivity, and better selectivity can eliminate other interference. To improve the specificity and sensitivity, we fabricated an innovative bioconjugated nanozyme with natural enzyme (BNNZ), in which natural ChOx was immobilized onto histidine-modified Fe3O4 (His-Fe3O4) with hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a linker. ChOx could specifically catalyze the oxidation of cholesterol to generate H2O2 molecule, and then the newly formed H2O2 oxidized the colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into blue ox-TMB by peroxidase-like His-Fe3O4. According to the above cascade reaction, the BNNZ-based colorimetric strategy was proposed for the detection of cholesterol. Wherein, natural enzymes specifically catalyzed substrates, which endowed BNNZ with excellent specificity for target molecules; meanwhile, the introduction of histidine on His-Fe3O4 effectively increased the peroxidase-like activity of BNNZ, which provided a guarantee for sensitivity. Furthermore, BNNZ after reaction could be rapidly separated by an external magnetic field without interfering with colorimetric quantitative detection. The proposed strategy exhibited excellent sensitivity with limit of detection of 0.446 μM and was successfully used for the detection of cholesterol in spiked human serum sample with recovery and relative standard deviation in the range of 97.9-103.5% and 2.5-4.0%, respectively. This work indicates that the bioconjugation of nanozyme and natural enzyme may be a universal strategy for synthesis of high-performance enzyme-nanozyme systems, and the new-type BNNZ will be widely used in biological detection and disease treatment.

Abstract
Nanozymes with enzyme-mimicking catalytic activity and unique functions have stimulated increasing interest in the biosensing field. Herein, we report a magnetic nanozyme (MNE) with integrated superior peroxidase-like activity and efficient mixing ability. This nanozymatic magnetic nanomixer is synthesized by depositing a Fe2+-doped polydopamine coating on the surface of well-aligned magnetic nanoparticles to form a rigid chain-like nanostructure. Polydopamine coating of the nanozymatic MNE allows for efficient immobilization of natural enzymes such as glucose oxidase, cholesterol oxidase or urate oxidase to produce a series of enzymes-immobilized MNE (MNE@enzymes) with intrinsic multienzyme cascade properties. These MNE@enzymes show synchronously rotating capability in spinning magnetic fields, which leads to an 80∼100% improvement in their overall catalytic efficiencies. In the on-chip detection of small molecular metabolites (i.e., glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid), the rotating MNE@enzymes lead to detection sensitivities 2.1∼4.3 times higher than those of the static ones. Importantly, the consistent performance of the rotating MNE@enzymes offers the possibility of integrating the detection of glucose, free cholesterol and uric acid into a single multiplexing microchip assay with smartphone readout, affording an improved sensitivity, good selectivity and reliability. The designed enzymes-loaded MNEs holds great promise in developing rapid and ultrasensitive measurements of diverse targets of healthcare concerns using portable devices.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanostructured artificial enzymes that have attracted great attention among researchers because of their ability to mimic relevant biological reactions carried out by their natural counterparts, but with the capability to overcome natural enzymes’ drawbacks such as low thermostability or narrow substrate scope. The promising enzyme-like properties of these systems make nanozymes excellent candidates for innovative solutions in different scientific fields such as analytical chemistry, catalysis or medicine. Thus, nanozymes with different type of activities are of special interest owing to their versatility since they can reproduce several biological reactions according to the substrates and the environmental conditions. In this context, gold-based nanozymes are a representative example of multifunctional structures that can perform a great number of enzyme-like activities. In addition, the combination of gold-based materials with structures of organic and inorganic chemical nature yields even more powerful hybrid nanozymes, which enhance their activity by providing improved features. This review will carry out a deep insight into gold-based nanozymes, revisiting not only the different type of biological enzymatic reactions that can be achieved with these kinds of systems, but also structural features of some of the most relevant hybrid gold-based nanozymes described in the literature. This literature review will also provide a representative picture of the potential of these structures to solve future technological challenges.

Abstract
Both passive and active microfluidic chips are used in many biomedical and chemical applications to support fluid mixing, particle manipulations, and signal detection. Passive microfluidic devices are geometry-dependent, and their uses are rather limited. Active microfluidic devices include sensors or detectors that transduce chemical, biological, and physical changes into electrical or optical signals. Also, they are transduction devices that detect biological and chemical changes in biomedical applications, and they are highly versatile microfluidic tools for disease diagnosis and organ modeling. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the significant advances that have been made in the development of microfluidics devices. We will discuss the function of microfluidic devices as micromixers or as sorters of cells and substances (e.g., microfiltration, flow or displacement, and trapping). Microfluidic devices are fabricated using a range of techniques, including molding, etching, three-dimensional printing, and nanofabrication. Their broad utility lies in the detection of diagnostic biomarkers and organ-on-chip approaches that permit disease modeling in cancer, as well as uses in neurological, cardiovascular, hepatic, and pulmonary diseases. Biosensor applications allow for point-of-care testing, using assays based on enzymes, nanozymes, antibodies, or nucleic acids (DNA or RNA). An anticipated development in the field includes the optimization of techniques for the fabrication of microfluidic devices using biocompatible materials. These developments will increase biomedical versatility, reduce diagnostic costs, and accelerate diagnosis time of microfluidics technology.

Abstract
The CRISPR-Cas system was developed into a molecular diagnostic tool with high sensitivity, low cost, and high specificity in recent years. Colorimetric assays based on nanozymes offer an attractive point-of-care testing method for their low cost of use and user-friendly operation. Here, a MnO2 nanozyme-mediated CRISPR-Cas12a system was instituted to detect SARS-CoV-2. MnO2 nanorods linked to magnetic beads via a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) linker used as an oxidase-like nanozyme inducing the color change of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, which can be distinguished by the naked eye. The detection buffer color will change when the Cas12a is activated by SARS-CoV-2 and indiscriminately cleave the linker ssDNA. The detection limit was 10 copies per microliter and showed no cross-reaction with other coronaviruses. The nanozyme-mediated CRISPR-Cas12a system shows high selectivity and facile operation, with great potential for molecular diagnosis in point-of-care testing applications.

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
Multifunctional nanozymes can benefit biochemical analysis via expanding sensing modes and enhancing analytical performance, but designing multifunctional nanozymes to realize the desired sensing of targets is challenging. In this work, single-atomic iron doped carbon dots (SA Fe-CDs) are designed and synthesized via a facile in situ pyrolysis process. The small-sized CDs not only maintain their tunable fluorescence, but also serve as a support for loading dispersed active sites. Monoatomic Fe offers SA Fe-CDs exceptional oxidase-mimetic activity to catalyze 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation with fast response (Vmax = 10.4 nM s-1 ) and strong affinity (Km = 168 µM). Meanwhile, their photoluminescence is quenched by the oxidation product of TMB due to inner filter effect. Phosphate ions (Pi) can suppress the oxidase-mimicking activity and restore the photoluminescence of SA Fe-CDs by interacting with Fe active sites. Based on this principle, a dual-mode colorimetric and fluorescence assay of Pi with high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response is established. This work paves a path to develop multifunctional enzyme-like catalysts, and offers a simple but efficient dual-mode method for phosphate monitoring, which will inspire the exploration of multi-mode sensing strategies based on nanozyme catalysis.
