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.

Abstract
Biomolecules play vital roles in many biological processes and diseases, making their identification crucial. Herein, we present a colorimetric sensing method for detecting biomolecules like cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH). This approach is based on a reaction system whereby colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) undergoes catalytic oxidation to form blue-colored oxidized TMB (ox-TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), utilizing the peroxidase and catalase-mimicking activities of metal-phenolic coordination frameworks (MPNs) of Cu-TA, Co-TA, and Fe-TA nanospheres. The Fe-TA nanospheres demonstrated superior activity, more active sites and enhanced electron transport. Under optimal conditions, the Fe-TA nanospheres were used for the detection of biomolecules. When present, biomolecules inhibit the reaction between TMB and H2O2, causing various colorimetric responses at low detection limits of 0.382, 0.776 and 0.750 μM for Cys, Hcy and GSH. Furthermore, it was successfully applied to real water samples with good recovery results. The developed sensor not only offers a rapid, portable, and user-friendly technique for multi-target analysis of biomolecules at low concentrations but also expands the potential uses of MPNs for other targets in the environmental field.

Abstract
Septicemia, a severe bacterial infection, poses significant risks to human health. Early detection of septicemia by tracking specific biomarkers is crucial for a timely intervention. Herein, we developed a molecularly imprinted (MI) TiO2-Fe-CeO2 nanozyme array derived from Ce[Fe(CN)6] Prussian blue analogues (PBA), specifically targeting valine, leucine, and isoleucine, as potential indicators of septicemia. The synthesized nanozyme arrays were thoroughly characterized using various analytical techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscope, and energy-dispersive X-ray. The results confirmed their desirable physical and chemical properties, indicating their suitability for the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine serving as a colorimetric probe in the presence of a persulfate oxidizing agent, further highlighting the potential of these arrays for sensitive and accurate detection applications. The MITiO2 shell selectively captures valine, leucine, and isoleucine, partially blocking the cavities for substrate access and thereby hindering the catalyzed TMB chromogenic reaction. The nanozyme array demonstrated excellent performance with linear detection ranges of 5 μM to 1 mM, 10-450 μM, and 10-450 μM for valine, leucine, and isoleucine, respectively. Notably, the corresponding limit of detection values were 0.69, 1.46, and 2.76 μM, respectively. The colorimetric assay exhibited outstanding selectivity, reproducibility, and performance in the detection of analytes in blood samples, including C-reactive protein at a concentration of 61 mg/L, procalcitonin at 870 ng/dL, and the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria. The utilization of Ce[Fe(CN)6]-derived MITiO2-Fe-CeO2 nanozyme arrays holds considerable potential in the field of septicemia detection. This approach offers a sensitive and specific method for early diagnosis and intervention, thereby contributing to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
The urgent need for sensitive and accurate assays to monitor acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) arises from the imperative to safeguard human health and protect the ecosystem. Due to its cost-effectiveness, ease of operation, and rapid response, nanozyme-based colorimetry has been widely utilized in the determination of AChE activity and OPs. However, the rational design of nanozymes with high activity and specificity remains a great challenge. Herein, trace amount of Bi-doped core-shell Pd@Pt mesoporous nanospheres (Pd@PtBi2) have been successfully synthesized, exhibiting good peroxidase-like activity and specificity. With the incorporation of trace bismuth, there is a more than 4-fold enhancement in the peroxidase-like performance of Pd@PtBi2 compared to that of Pd@Pt. Besides, no significant improvement of oxidase-like and catalase-like activities of Pd@PtBi2 was found, which prevents interference from O2 and undesirable consumption of substrate H2O2. Based on the blocking impact of thiocholine, a colorimetric detection platform utilizing Pd@PtBi2 was constructed to monitor AChE activity with sensitivity and selectivity. Given the inhibition of OPs on AChE activity, a biosensor was further developed by integrating Pd@PtBi2 with AChE to detect OPs, capitalizing on the cascade amplification strategy. The OP biosensor achieved a detection limit as low as 0.06 ng mL-1, exhibiting high sensitivity and anti-interference ability. This work is promising for the construction of nanozymes with high activity and specificity, as well as the development of nanozyme-based colorimetric biosensors.

Abstract
Nanoenzymes have been widely used to construct biosensors because of their cost-effectiveness, high stability, and easy modification. At the same time, the discovery of deep eutectic solvents (DES) was a great breakthrough in green chemistry, and their combination with different materials can improve the sensing performance of biosensors. In this work, we report an immunosensor using CuCo2O4 nanoenzyme combined with flow injection chemiluminescence immunoassay for the automated detection of zearalenone (ZEN). The immunosensor exhibited excellent sensing performance. Under the optimal conditions, the detection range of ZEN was 0.0001-100 ng mL-1, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.076 pg mL-1 (S/N = 3). In addition, the immunosensor showed excellent stability with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.65% for 15 repetitive injections. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of real samples with satisfactory recovery results, and can hence provide a reference for the detection of small molecules in food and feed.

Abstract
Organophosphorus pesticides can inhibit the activity of acetylcholinesterase and cause neurological diseases. Therefore, it is crucial to establish an efficient and sensitive platform for organophosphorus pesticide detection. In this work, we extracted aloe polysaccharide (AP) from aloe vera with the number average molecular weight of 27760 Da and investigated its reducing property. We prepared aloe polysaccharide stabilized platinum nanoflowers (AP-Ptn NFs), their particle size ranges were 29.4-67.3 nm. Furthermore, AP-Ptn NFs exhibited excellent oxidase-like activity and the catalytic kinetics followed the typical Michaelis-Menten equation. They showed strong affinity for 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine substrates. More importantly, we developed a simple and effective strategy for the sensitive colorimetric detection of organophosphorus pesticides in food using biocompatible AP-Ptn NFs. The detection range was 0.5 μg/L - 140 mg/L, which was wider than many previously reported nanozyme detection systems. This colorimetric biosensor had good selectivity and good promise for bioassay analysis.

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
Given the serious harm of toxic phenol to human health and the ecological environment, it is urgent to develop an efficient, low-cost and sensitive nanoenzyme-based method to monitor phenol. MOF-derived nanozyme has attracted wide interest due to its hollow polyhedra structure and porous micro-nano frameworks. However, it is still a great challenge to synthesize MOF-derived multimetal synergistic catalytic nanoenzymes in large quantities with low cost. Herein, we reported the synthetic strategy of porous hollow CA-CoNiMn-CLDHs with ZIF-67 as templates through a facile solvothermal reaction. The prepared trimetallic catalyst exhibits excellent peroxidase-like activity to trigger the oxidative coupling reaction of 4-AAP and phenol in the presence of H2O2. The visual detection platform for phenol based on CA-CoNiMn-CLDHs is constructed, and satisfactory results are obtained. The Km value for CA-CoNiMn-CLDHs (0.21 mM) is lower than that of HRP (0.43 mM) with TMB as the chromogenic substrate. Because of the synergistic effect of peroxidase-like activity and citric acid functionalization, the built colorimetric sensor displayed a good linear response to phenol from 1 to 100 μM with a detection limit of 0.163 μM (3σ/slope). Additionally, the CA-CoNiMn-CLDHs-based visual detection platform possesses high-chemical stability and excellent reusability, which can greatly improve economic benefits in practical applications.

Abstract
Despite the current progress in optimizing and tailoring the performance of nanozymes through structural and synthetic adaptation, there is still a lack of dynamic modulation approaches to alter their catalytic activity. Here, we demonstrate that DNA can act as an auxiliary regulator via a straightforward incubation method with Fe-N-C single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes), causing a leap in the enzyme-like activity of Fe-N-C from moderate to a higher level. The DNA-assisted enhancement is attributed to the increased substrate affinity of Fe-N-C nanozymes through electrostatic attraction between the substrate and DNA. Based on the prepared DNA/Fe-N-C system, colorimetric sensors for dopamine (DA) detection were constructed. Surprisingly, the incorporation of DNA not only enabled the detection of DA in a low concentration range, but also greatly improved the sensitivity with a 436-fold decrease in detection limit. The quantitative determination of DA was achieved in two-segment linear ranges of 0.01-4 μM and 5-100 μM with an ultralow detection limit of 9.56 nM. The DNA/Fe-N-C system shows superior performance compared to the original Fe-N-C system, making it an ideal choice for nanozyme-based biosensors. This simple design approach has paved the way for enhancing nanozyme activity and is expected to serve as a general strategy for optimizing biosensor performance.

Abstract
A rational design of high-efficiency electrocatalysts and thus achieving sensitive electrochemical sensing remains a great challenge. In this work, single-atom indium anchored on nitrogen-doped carbon (In1-N-C) with an In-N4 configuration is prepared successfully through a high-temperature annealing strategy; the product can serve as an advanced electrocatalyst for sensitive electrochemical sensing of dopamine (DA). Compared with In nanoparticle catalysts, In1-N-C exhibits high catalytic performance for DA oxidation. The theoretical calculation reveals that In1-N-C has high adsorption energy for hydroxy groups and a low energy barrier in the process of DA oxidation compared to In nanoparticles, indicating that In1-N-C with atomically dispersed In-N4 sites possesses enhanced intrinsic activity. An electrochemical sensor for DA detection is established as a concept application with high sensitivity and selectivity. Furthermore, we also verify the feasibility of In1-N-C catalysts for the simultaneous detection of uric acid, ascorbic acid, and DA. This work extends the application prospect of p-block metal single-atom catalysts in electrochemical sensing.

Abstract
Owing to its high throughput, simplicity, and rapidity, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has attracted much attention in the field of immunoassays. However, the traditional ELISA usually affords a single signal readout and the labeling ability of the enzyme used is poor, resulting in low accuracy and a limited detection range. Herein, a vanadium nanospheres (VNSs)-mediated competitive ratio nanozymes-linked immunosorbent assay (VNSs-RNLISA) was created for the sensitive detection of the T-2 toxin (T-2). As the key to the biosensor, the VNSs with superoxide dismutase-like and peroxidase-like dual-enzyme mimetic activities were synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method, which oxidized 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl fading and catalyzed 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) color development. Therefore, T-2 could not only be qualitatively measured with the naked eye but also be quantitatively evaluated by monitoring the ratio of absorbance at 450 and 517 nm wavelengths. Moreover, the characterization of a VNSs-labeled antibody probe showed strong dual-enzymatic activity, excellent stability, and high affinity with T-2 [the affinity constant (ka) was approximately 1.36 × 108 M-1], which can significantly improve the detection sensitivity. The limit of detection of VNSs-RNLISA was 0.021 ng/mL, which was approximately 27-fold more sensitive than the single signal nanozymes-linked immunosorbent assay (0.561 ng/mL). Besides, the change in the ratio of absorbance (Δ450/Δ517) decreased linearly in a range of 0.22-13.17 ng/mL, outperforming the detection range of a single-mode nano-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using TMB by a factor of 1.6 times. Furthermore, the VNSs-RNLISA was successfully used to identify T-2 in maize and oat samples, with recoveries ranging from 84.216 to 125.371%. Overall, this tactic offered a promising platform for the quick detection of T-2 in food and might broaden the application range of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Abstract
Pencil graphite electrode (PGE) is an alternative, commercially available, ready-to-use, screen-printed electrode for a wide range of electroanalytical applications. Due to the complex-matrix composition and unpredictable electro-inactive nature of PGE in its native form, a surface pre-treatment/activation procedure is highly preferred for using it as an electroactive working electrode for electroanalytical applications. In this article, we review various surface pre-treatment and modification procedures adopted in the literature with respect to the sensitive and selective detection of dopamine as a model system. Specific generation of the carbon-oxygen functional group, along with partial surface exfoliation of PGE, has been referred to as a key step for the activation. Based on the Scopus® index, the literature collection was searched with the keywords "pencil and dopamine". The obtained data were segregated into three main headings as: (i) electrochemically pre-treated PGE; (ii) polymer-modified PGEs; and (iii) metal and metal nanocomposite-modified PGE. This critical review covers various surface activation procedures adopted for the activation for PGE suitable for dopamine electroanalytical application.

Abstract
Nanozymes have been widely used to construct colorimetric sensors due to their advantages of cost-effectiveness, high stability, good biocompatibility, and ease of modification. The emergence of nanozymes greatly enhanced the detection sensitivity and stability of the colorimetric sensing platform. Recent significant research has focused on designing various sensors based on nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity for colorimetric analysis. However, with the deepening of research, nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity has also exposed some problems, such as weak affinity and low catalytic activity. In view of the above issues, existing investigations have shown that the catalytic properties of nanozymes can be improved by adding surface modification and changing the structure of nanomaterials. In this review, we summarize the recent trends and advances of colorimetric sensors based on several typical nanozymes with peroxidase-like activities, including noble metals, metal oxides, metal sulfides/metal selenides, and carbon and metal-organic frameworks (MOF). Finally, the current challenges and prospects of colorimetric sensors based on nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity are summarized and discussed to provide a reference for researchers in related fields.

Abstract
Explosives are powerful destructive weapons used by criminals and terrorists across the globe and their use within military installation sites poses serious environmental health problems. Existing colorimetric sensors for triacetone triperoxide (TATP) relies on detecting its hydrolysed H2O2 form. However, such detection strategy limits the practicability for on-site TATP sensing. In this work, we have developed a novel peroxidase mimic catalytic colorimetric sensor for direct recognition of TATP. Ceria (Ce)-doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (CeFe3O4) were synthesized via the hot-injection organic synthetic route in the presence of metal precursors and organic ligands. Thereafter, the organic-capped CeFe3O4 nanoparticles were surface-functionalized with amphiphilic polymers (Amp-poly) to render the nanoparticle stable, compact and biocompatible. Thiolated γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) was adsorbed on the Amp-poly-CeFe3O4 nanocomposite (NC) surface to form a γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4 NC. γ-CD served both as a receptor and as a catalytic enhancer for TATP. Hemin (H), used as a catalytic signal amplifier was adsorbed on the γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4 NC surface to form a γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4-H NC that served as a functional nanozyme for the enhanced catalytic colorimetric detection of TATP. Under optimum experimental reaction conditions, TATP prepared in BIS-TRIS-Trisma Ac-KAc-NAc buffer, pH 3, was selectively and ultrasensitively detected without the need for acid hydrolysis based on the catalytic oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine by H2O2 in the presence of the γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4-H hybrid nanozyme. The obtained limit of detection of ∼0.05 μg/mL when compared with other published probes demonstrated superior sensitivity. The developed peroxidase mimic γ-CD-Amp-poly-CeFe3O4-H catalytic colorimetric sensor was successfully applied to detect TATP in soil, river water and tap water samples.

Abstract
Isoniazid is an antibiotic primarily used in clinical treatment of tuberculosis, but excessive usage can lead to serious consequences such as hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and even coma and death. Therefore, it is critical to exploit a quick, facile, and acute way for isoniazid analysis. In this work, we have demonstrated an efficient electrospinning-carbonation-wet chemistry reaction-calcination process to fabricate CuO/NiO nanotubes (NTs) as a promising nanozyme for peroxidase (POD) mimicking. In virtue of the distinct tubular structure and synergy between CuO and NiO from the mechanisms of both electron transfer and hydroxyl radical generation, a remarkably improved catalytic activity is realized for the CuO/NiO NTs compared with bare CuO and NiO samples. According to the admirable POD-like property, a rapid colorimetric detection for isoniazid is accomplished with a detection limit of 0.4 μM (S/N = 3) and favorable selectivity. In addition, the sensing capability of isoniazid in a real sample is also investigated with satisfactory results. This work offers a novel tactic to fabricate high-performance nanozymes with efficient isoniazid sensing capabilities to address challenges in disease treatment efficacy and public safety monitoring.

Abstract
The peroxidase-like activity of vitamin B6 (VB6) was firstly demonstrated by catalyzing the peroxidase chromogenic substrate 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) at the existence of H2O2. The influence of different factors on the catalytic property of VB6, including pH, temperature, VB6 concentration, and incubation time, were investigated. The steady-state kinetic study results indicate that VB6 possesses higher affinity to H2O2 than natural horseradish peroxidase and some other peroxidase mimics. Besides, the radical quenching experiment results confirm that hydroxyl radical (•OH) accounts for the catalytic process. Based on the excellent peroxidase-like catalytic activity of VB6, the colorimetric methods for H2O2 and gallic acid (GA) detection were developed by measuring the absorbance variance of the catalytic system. Under the optimal conditions, the linear ranges of the methods for H2O2 and GA determination with good selectivity are 50.0–600.0 μM and 10.0–50.0 μM, respectively. In addition, the developed method was applied in the detection of H2O2 in milk samples and evaluation of total antioxidant capacity of different tea infusions. This study may broaden the application prospect of VB6 in environmental and biomedical analysis fields, contribute to profound insight of the physiological functions of VB6, as well as lay foundation for further excavation of small-molecule peroxidase mimics.

Abstract
Modulating enzyme activities or functionalities is one of the primary features of biological systems, which is, however, a great challenge for artificial enzyme systems. In this work, we designed and synthesized a series of self-assembling peptides from histidine and other amino acids (Asp, Ser, Lys or Arg), which exist in the active site of natural enzymes. These peptides could undergo a conformational transition from random coils to β-sheet structures under physiological conditions and formed self-assembled nanotubes with obvious hydrolase activities. After incorporation of transition metal ions such as Cu2+, these peptides could coordinate with Cu2+ ions, switch molecular conformations, and self-assemble into hybrid nanomaterials with altered morphologies and peroxidase-like activities. This work illustrates a facile approach for constructing artificial enzymes from self-assembling peptides with histidine residues whose catalytic functions could be modulated by incorporation of Cu2+ ions.

Abstract
An abnormal level of dopamine (DA) is usually related to neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease. Herein, cubic-shaped, Prussian blue nanoparticle-supported MoS2 nanocomposites (MoS2-CPBNPs) were prepared as peroxidase-like nanozymes for the label-free, colorimetric detection of DA. As expected, the as-prepared MoS2-CPBNPs nanozymes have outstanding peroxidase-like mimicking activity, which can catalyze 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate blue, oxidized TMB in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). DA can inhibit the oxidation of TMB, which causes blue solutions to fade and become colorless. According to this phenomenon, the developed colorimetric sensor can qualitatively and quantitatively analyze DA ranging from 0 to 300 μM with a detection limit of 0.09 μM. In addition, the high recovery and low relative standard deviation for practical DA determination suggested that this colorimetric sensor has potential for application in biological biosensing and diagnostic fields.
