Abstract
Overcoming the intense variation of enzymatic activity among different temperatures is very critical in catalytic medicine and catalytic biology. Here, Mn-based metal-organic framework-based wide-temperature-adaptive mesoporous artificial enzymes (Mn-TMA-MOF) were designed and synthesized. The oxidase-like Mn-TMA-MOF showed excellent catalytic activity at 0-50 °C and avoided the activity loss and instability due to temperature variation that occurred. The excellent oxidase-like properties of Mn-TMA-MOF with wide temperature adaptativeness are mainly ascribed to the mixed oxidized state (Mn3+/Mn2+) and high substrate affinity (Km = 0.034 mM) of Mn. Moreover, the mesopore-micropores two-level structure of Mn-TMA-MOF provides a large space and surface area for enzyme catalysis. Based on the stability of Mn-TMA-MOF, we developed a colorimetric sensor that can detect total antioxidant capacity in fruits with a limit of detection up to 0.59 μM.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2403107.

Abstract
Uveal melanoma (UM) is a leading intraocular malignancy with a high 5-year mortality rate, and radiotherapy is the primary approach for UM treatment. However, the elevated lactic acid, deficiency in ROS, and hypoxic tumor microenvironment have severely reduced the radiotherapy outcomes. Hence, this study devised a novel CoMnFe-layered double oxides (LDO) nanosheet with multienzyme activities for UM radiotherapy enhancement. On one hand, LDO nanozyme can catalyze hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor microenvironment into oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS), significantly boosting ROS production during radiotherapy. Simultaneously, LDO efficiently scavenged lactic acid, thereby impeding the DNA and protein repair in tumor cells to synergistically enhance the effect of radiotherapy. Moreover, density functional theory (DFT) calculations decoded the transformation pathway from lactic to pyruvic acid, elucidating a previously unexplored facet of nanozyme activity. The introduction of this innovative nanomaterial paves the way for a novel, targeted, and highly effective therapeutic approach, offering new avenues for the management of UM and other cancer types.

Food Chem 2024; 445:138716.

Abstract
Herein, we develop a dual-mode biosensor for photoelectrochemical and colorimetric detection of organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) based on ultrathin-FeOOH-coated MnO2 (MO@FHO) nanozyme. In this biosensor, OPPs can inhibit the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and hinder the dephosphorylation of l-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate, preventing the decomposition of MO@FHO nanozyme and inducing both a photoelectrochemical (PEC) signal and the colorimetric change. The MO@FHO nanozyme not only possesses an enhanced catalase-like activity to degrade H2O2 for the generation of an improved cathodic photocurrent, but also exhibits an excellent oxidase-like activity to oxidize 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine with high catalytic efficiency. This biosensor displays a detection limit of 50 pmol/L for the PEC mode and a detection limit of 0.8 nmol/L for the colorimetric mode. Moreover, this biosensor exhibits excellent performance in complex biological matrices, and the smartphone-based visual sensing platform facilitates rapid and sensitive detection of OPPs, holding promising applications in food safety monitoring, and on-site detection.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are promising tumor treatments mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have the advantages of being minimally invasive. However, the hypoxia of tumor microenvironment and poor target ability often reduce the therapeutic effect. Here we propose a tumor targeted nanoplatform PCN-224@Co3O4-HA for enhanced PDT and synergistic CDT, constructed by hyaluronate-modified Co3O4 nanoparticles decorated metal-organic framework PCN-224. Co3O4 can catalyze the decomposition of highly expressed H2O2 in tumor cells to produce oxygen and alleviate the problem of hypoxia. It can also produce hydroxyl radicals according to the Fenton-like reaction for chemical dynamic therapy, significantly improving the therapeutic effect. The cell survival experiment showed that after in vitro treatment, 4T1 and MCF-7 cancer cells died in a large area under the anaerobic state, while the survival ability of normal cell L02 was nearly unchanged. This result effectively indicated that PCN-224@Co3O4-HA could effectively relieve tumor hypoxia and improve the effect of PDT and synergistic CDT. Cell uptake experiments showed that PCN-224@Co3O4-HA had good targeting properties and could effectively aggregate in tumor cells. In vivo experiments on mice, PCN-224@Co3O4-HA presented reliable biosafety performance, and can cooperate with PDT and CDT therapy to prevent the growth of tumor.

Abstract
Given the challenge of multidrug resistance in antibiotics, non-antibiotic-dependent antibacterial strategies show promise for anti-infective therapy. V2C MXene-based nanomaterials have demonstrated strong biocompatibility and photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) for photothermal therapy (PTT). However, the limitation of V2C MXene's laser irradiation to the near-infrared region I (NIR-I) restricts tissue penetration, making it difficult to achieve complete bacterial eradication with single-effect therapeutic strategies. To address this, Pt nanoparticles (Pt NPs) are attached to V2C, forming artificial nanoplatforms (Pt@V2C). Pt@V2C exhibits enhanced PCE (59.6%) and a longer irradiation laser (NIR-II) due to the surface plasmon resonance effect of Pt NPs and V2C. Notably, Pt@V2C displays dual enzyme-like activity with chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and NIR-II enhanced dual enzyme-like activity. The biocatalytic mechanism of Pt@V2C is elucidated using density functional theory. In an in vivo animal model, Pt@V2C effectively eliminates methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from deep-seated tissues in subcutaneous abscesses and bacterial keratitis environments, accelerating abscess resolution and promoting wound and cornea healing through the synergistic effects of PTT/CDT. Transcriptomic analysis reveals that Pt@V2C targets inflammatory pathways, providing insight into its therapeutic mechanism. This study presents a promising therapeutic approach involving hyperthermia-amplified biocatalysis with Pt NPs and MXene nanocomposites.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) produced by various cyanobacteria during harmful algal bloom poses serious threats to drinking water safety and human health. Conventional chromatography-based detection methods require expensive instruments and complicated sample pretreatment, limiting their application for on-site detection. Colorimetric aptasensors are simple and rapid, and are amenable to fast detection. However, they provide only one output signal, resulting in poor sensitivity and accuracy. Dual-channel ratiometric colorimetric method based on the peroxidase-like activity of nanozyme can achieve self-calibration by recording two reverse signals, providing significantly enhanced sensitivity and accuracy. RESULTS CeO2 nanocages (CeO2 NCs) with tetra-enzyme mimetic activities (oxidase-, peroxidase-, catalase- and superoxide dismutase-like activities) were facilely synthesized using zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) as sacrificial template. The peroxidase-like activity of CeO2 NCs can be regulated by DNA, and it showed opposite response to two chromogenic substrates (2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)), which was mainly attributed to the changed affinity. On the basis of MC-LR aptamer-tunable peroxidase-like activity of CeO2 NCs in TMB and ABTS channel, a dual-channel ratiometric colorimetric aptasensor was constructed for detection of MC-LR. Compared with conventional single-signal colorimetric assays, the proposed method showed lower limit of detection (0.66 pg mL-1) and significantly enhanced sensitivity. Moreover, the practicability of the ratiometric colorimetric assay was demonstrated by detecting MC-LR in real water samples, and satisfactory recoveries (94.9-101.9 %) and low relative standard deviations (1.6-6.3 %) were obtained. SIGNIFICANCE This work presents a nanozyme-based ratiometric colorimetric aptasensor for MC-LR detection by recording the reverse responses of two chromogenic reactions. Benefiting from the self-calibration function, the method can achieve higher sensitivity and accuracy. The short detection time and practical application in real water samples show great potential for environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Development of nanomaterials with multiple enzymatic activities via a facile approach receives growing interests in recent years. Although peptide self-assembling provides an effective approach for the construction of biomimetic materials in recent years, fabrication of artificial enzymes from self-assembling peptides with multiple catalytic activities for anticancer therapy is still a challenge. Here, we report a simple method to prepare nanocatalysts with multienzyme-like activities from self-assembling peptides containing ATCUN copper-binding motifs. With the aid of the coordination interactions between the ATCUN motif and Cu(II) ions, these peptides could perform supramolecular self-assembly to form nanomaterials with biomimetic peroxidase, ascorbate oxidase and glutathione peroxidase activities. Moreover, these trienzyme-like effects can elevate oxidative stress levels and suppress the antioxidative capability of cancer cells, which synergistically induce the apoptosis of cancer cells. Because of the high biocompatibility, catalytic activities and drug encapsulation properties, this self-assembled peptide provides a biomimetic platform for the development of new nanocatalytic medicines for multimodal synergistic cancer therapies.

Abstract
The enhancement of detection sensitivity in microfluidic sensors has been a continuously explored field. Initially, many strategies for sensitivity improvement involved introducing enzyme cascade reactions, but enzyme-based reactions posed challenges in terms of cost, stability, and storage. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore enzyme-free cascade amplification methods, which are crucial for expanding the application range and improving detection stability. Metal or metal compound nanomaterials have gained great attention in the exploitation of microfluidic sensors due to their ease of preparation, storage, and lower cost. The unique physical properties of metallic nanomaterials, including surface plasmon resonance, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, metal-enhanced fluorescence, and surface-enhanced infrared absorption, contribute significantly to enhancing detection capabilities. The metal-based catalytic nanomaterials, exemplified by Fe3O4 nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks, are considered viable alternatives to biological enzymes due to their excellent performance. Herein, we provide a detailed overview of the applications of metals and metal compounds in improving the sensitivity of microfluidic biosensors. This review not only highlights the current developments but also critically analyzes the challenges encountered in this field. Furthermore, it outlines potential directions for future research, contributing to the ongoing development of microfluidic biosensors with improved detection sensitivity.

Abstract
Prussian blue nanoparticles exhibit the potential to be employed in bioanalytical applications due to their robust stability, peroxidase-like catalytic functionality, straightforward synthesis, and biocompatibility. An efficient approach is presented for the synthesis of nucleic acid-modified Prussian blue nanoparticles (DNA-PBNPs), utilizing nanoparticle porosity to adsorb nucleic acids (polyT). This strategic adsorption leads to the exposure of nucleic acid sequences on the particle surface while retaining catalytic activity. DNA-PBNPs further couple with functional nucleic acid sequences and aptamers through complementary base pairing to act as transducers in biosensors and amplify signal acquisition. Subsequently, we integrated a copper ion-dependent DNAzyme (Cu2+-DNAzyme) and a vascular endothelial growth factor aptamer (VEGF aptamer) onto screen-printed electrodes to serve as recognition elements for analytes. Significantly, our approach leverages DNA-PBNPs as a superior alternative to traditional enzyme-linked antibodies in electrochemical biosensors, thereby enhancing both the efficiency and adaptability of these devices. Our study conclusively demonstrates the application of DNA-PBNPs in two different biosensing paradigms: the sensitive detection of copper ions and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These results indicate the promising potential of DNA-modified Prussian blue nanoparticles in advancing bioanalytical sensing technologies.

Abstract
Herbicides are the most widely used class of pesticides in the world. Their intensive use raises the question of their harmfulness to the environment and human health. These pollutants need to be detected at low concentrations, especially in water samples. Commonly accepted analytical techniques (HPLC-MS, GC-MS, ELISA tests) are available, but these highly sensitive and time-consuming techniques suffer from high cost and from the need for bulky equipment, user training and sample pre-treatment. Biosensors can be used as complementary early-warning systems that are less sensitive and less selective. On the other hand, they are rapid, inexpensive, easy-to-handle and allow direct detection of the sample, on-site, without any further step other than dilution. This review focuses on enzyme- and cell- (or subcellular elements) based biosensors. Different enzymes (such as tyrosinase or peroxidase) whose activity is inhibited by herbicides are presented. Photosynthetic cells such as algae or cyanobacteria are also reported, as well as subcellular elements (thylakoids, chloroplasts). Atrazine, diuron, 2,4-D and glyphosate appear as the most frequently detected herbicides, using amperometry or optical transduction (mainly based on chlorophyll fluorescence). The recent new WSSA/HRAC classification of herbicides is also included in the review.

Abstract
During biomedical applications, nanozymes, exhibiting enzyme-like characteristics, inevitably come into contact with biological fluids in living systems, leading to the formation of a protein corona on their surface. Although it is acknowledged that molecular adsorption can influence the catalytic activity of nanozymes, there is a dearth of understanding regarding the impact of the protein corona on nanozyme activity and its determinant factors. In order to address this gap, we employed the AuNR@Pt@PDDAC [PDDAC, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)] nanorod (NR) as a model nanozyme with multiple activities, including peroxidase, oxidase, and catalase-mimetic activities, to investigate the inhibitory effects of the protein corona on the catalytic activity. After the identification of major components in the plasma protein corona on the NR, we observed that spherical proteins and fibrous proteins induced distinct inhibitory effects on the catalytic activity of nanozymes. To elucidate the underlying mechanism, we uncovered that the adsorbed proteins assembled on the surface of the nanozymes, forming protein networks (PNs). Notably, the PNs derived from fibrous proteins exhibited a screen mesh-like structure with smaller pore sizes compared to those formed by spherical proteins. This structural disparity resulted in a reduced efficiency for the permeation of substrate molecules, leading to a more robust inhibition in activity. These findings underscore the significance of the protein shape as a crucial factor influencing nanozyme activity. This revelation provides valuable insights for the rational design and application of nanozymes in the biomedical fields.

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
Patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections may have higher death rates than those with non-drug-resistant infections. Nanozymes offer a promising approach to eliminating bacteria by producing reactive oxygen species. However, most of the conventional nanozyme technologies encounter significant challenges with respect to size, composition, and a naturally low number of active sites. The present study synthesizes a iron-single-atom structure (Fe-SAC) via nitrogen doped-carbon, a Fe-N5 catalyst (Fe-SAC) with a high metal loading (4.3 wt.%). This catalyst permits the development of nanozymes consisting of single-atom structures with active sites resembling enzymes, embedded within nanomaterials. Fe-SAC displays peroxidase-like activities upon exposure to H2O2. This structure facilitates the production of hydroxyl radicals, well-known for their strong bactericidal effects. Furthermore, the photothermal properties augment the bactericidal efficacy of Fe-SAC. The findings reveal that Fe-SAC disrupts the bacterial cell membranes and the biofilms, contributing to their antibacterial effects. The bactericidal properties of Fe-SAC are harnessed, which eradicates the MRSA infections in wounds and improves wound healing. Taken together, these findings suggest that single Fe atom nanozymes offer a novel perspective on the catalytic mechanism and design, holding immense potential as next-generation nanozymes.

Abstract
Development of biomolecular enzyme mimics to efficiently catalyse biochemical reactions are of prime relevance for the bulk scale production of industrially relevant biocatalyst. In this regard, amyloidogenic peptides act as suitable self-assembling scaffolds, providing stable nanostructures with high surface area facilitating biocatalysis. Herein, we rationally design two positional amyloidogenic peptide isomers, "Fmoc-VYYAHH (1)" and "Fmoc-VHHAYY (2)" considering catalytic and metal binding affinity of histidine and tyrosine when placed in periphery vs. inner core of the peptide sequence. With an ultimate objective of designing metalloenzyme mimic, we choose Co2+ and Cu2+ as divalent transition metal cations for peptide complexation to aid in catalysis. After optimizing self-assembly of innate peptides, we investigate metal-peptide binding ratio and co-ordination, finally selecting 1:1 peptide metal complex suitable for biocatalysis. Metallopeptides act as better catalysts than the innate peptides as acyl esterase when tyrosines were present at the periphery. Kinetic parameters for assessing hydrolysis rate were calculated by fitting data into Michaelis-Menten and Lineweaver Burk plots. Catalytic activity is altered depending on the stability of peptide metal complexes. 2-Cu acting as the best biocatalyst with a kcat/KM = 0.08 M/s. The protocols mentioned in this chapter meticulously cover the design, synthesis, self-assembly and enzyme kinetics.

Abstract
The prevalence of 3D-printed portable biomedical sensing devices, which are fashioned mainly from plastic and polymer materials, introduces a pressing concern due to their limited reusability and consequential generation of substantial disposable waste. Considering this, herein, we pioneered a ground-breaking advancement, i.e., a 3D-printed metal substrate-based enzyme. Our inventive methodology involved the synthesis of a thermally degraded Fe-based metal-organic framework, DEG 500, followed by its deposition on a 3D-printed metal substrate composed of Ti-Al-V alloy. This novel composite exhibited remarkable peroxidase-like activity in a range of different temperatures and pH, coupled with the ability to detect glucose in real-world samples such as blood and fruit juices. The exceptional enzymatic behaviour was attributed to the diverse iron (Fe) oxidation states and the presence of oxygen vacancies, as evidenced through advanced characterization techniques. Fundamentally, we rigorously explored the mechanistic pathway through controlled studies and theoretical calculations, culminating in a transformative stride toward more sustainable and effective biomedical sensing practices.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious clinical syndrome with high morbidity, elevated mortality, and poor prognosis, commonly considered a "sword of Damocles" for hospitalized patients, especially those in intensive care units. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, caused by the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), play a key role in AKI progression. Hence, the investigation of effective and safe antioxidants and inflammatory regulators to scavenge overexpressed ROS and regulate excessive inflammation has become a promising therapeutic option. However, the unique physiological structure and complex pathological alterations in the kidneys render traditional therapies ineffective, impeding the residence and efficacy of most antioxidant and anti-inflammatory small molecule drugs within the renal milieu. Recently, nanotherapeutic interventions have emerged as a promising and prospective strategy for AKI, overcoming traditional treatment dilemmas through alterations in size, shape, charge, and surface modifications. This Review succinctly summarizes the latest advancements in nanotherapeutic approaches for AKI, encompassing nanozymes, ROS scavenger nanomaterials, MSC-EVs, and nanomaterials loaded with antioxidants and inflammatory regulator. Following this, strategies aimed at enhancing biocompatibility and kidney targeting are introduced. Furthermore, a brief discussion on the current challenges and future prospects in this research field is presented, providing a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of nanotherapeutic interventions for AKI.

Abstract
The development of cold-adapted enzymes with high efficiency and good stability is an advanced strategy to overcome the limitations of catalytic medicine in low and cryogenic temperatures. In this work, inspired by natural enzymes, a novel cold-adapted nanozyme based on a manganese-based nanosized metal-organic framework (nMnBTC) is designed and synthesized. The nMnBTC as an oxidase mimetic not only exhibits excellent activity at 0 °C, but also presents almost no observable activity loss as the temperature is increased to 45 °C. This breaks the traditional recognition that enzymes show maximum activity only under specific psychrophilic or thermophilic condition. The superior performance of nMnBTC as a cold-adapted nanozyme can be attributed to its high-catalytic efficiency at low temperature, good substrate affinity, and flexible conformation. Based on the robust performance of nMnBTC, a low-temperature antiviral strategy is developed to inactivate influenza virus H1N1 even at -20 °C. These results not only provide an important guide for the rational design of highly efficient artificial cold-adapted enzymes, but also pave a novel way for biomedical application in cryogenic fields.

Abstract
Nanozymes with intrinsic enzyme-mimicking activities have shown great potential to become surrogates of natural enzymes in many fields by virtue of their advantages of high catalytic stability, ease of functionalization, and low cost. However, due to the lack of predictable descriptors, most of the nanozymes reported in the past have been obtained mainly through trial-and-error strategies, and the catalytic efficacy, substrate specificity, as well as practical application effect under physiological conditions, are far inferior to that of natural enzymes. To optimize the catalytic efficacies and functions of nanozymes in biomedical settings, recent studies have introduced biosystem-inspired strategies into nanozyme design. In this review, recent advances in the engineering of biosystem-inspired nanozymes by leveraging the refined catalytic structure of natural enzymes, simulating the behavior changes of natural enzymes in the catalytic process, and mimicking the specific biological processes or living organisms, are introduced. Furthermore, the currently involved biomedical applications of biosystem-inspired nanozymes are summarized. More importantly, the current opportunities and challenges of the design and application of biosystem-inspired nanozymes are discussed. It is hoped that the studies of nanozymes based on bioinspired strategies will be beneficial for constructing the new generation of nanozymes and broadening their biomedical applications.

Abstract
"Nanozyme" is used to describe various catalysts from immobilized inorganic metal complexes, immobilized enzymes to inorganic nanoparticles. Here, the history of nanozymes is dvescribed in detail, and they can be largely separated into two types. Type 1 nanozymes refer to immobilized catalysts or enzymes on nanomaterials, which were dominant in the first decade since 2004. Type 2 nanozymes, which rely on the surface catalytic properties of inorganic nanomaterials, are the dominating type in the past decade. The definition of nanozymes is evolving, and a definition based on the same substrates and products as enzymes are able to cover most currently claimed nanozymes, although they may have different mechanisms compared to their enzyme counterparts. A broader definition can inspire application-based research to replace enzymes with nanomaterials for analytical, environmental, and biomedical applications. Comparison with enzymes also requires a clear definition of a nanozyme unit. Four ways of defining a nanozyme unit are described, with iron oxide and horseradish peroxidase activity comparison as examples in each definition. Growing work is devoted to understanding the catalytic mechanism of nanozymes, which provides a basis for further rational engineering of active sites. Finally, future perspective of the nanozyme field is discussed.

Abstract
The high efficiency and specificity of enzymes make them play an important role in life activities, but the high cost, low stability and high sensitivity of natural enzymes severely restrict their application. In recent years, nanozymes have become convincing alternatives to natural enzymes, finding utility across diverse domains, including biosensing, antibacterial interventions, cancer treatment, and environmental preservation. Nanozymes are characterized by their remarkable attributes, encompassing high stability, cost-effectiveness and robust catalytic activity. Within the contemporary scientific landscape, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered considerable attention, primarily due to their versatile applications, spanning catalysis. Notably, MOFs serve as scaffolds for the development of nanozymes, particularly in the context of bacterial detection and treatment. This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent literature pertaining to MOFs and their pivotal role in bacterial detection and treatment. We explored the limitations and prospects for the development of MOF-based nanozymes as a platform for bacterial detection and therapy, and anticipate their great potential and broader clinical applications in addressing medical challenges.

A colorimetric sensing strategy based on chitosan-stabilized platinum nanoparticles for quick detection of α-glucosidase activity and inhibitor screening. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024:10.1007/s00216-024-05198-9. [PMID: 38358531 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05198-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
α-Glucosidase (α-Glu) is implicated in the progression and pathogenesis of type II diabetes (T2D). In this study, we developed a rapid colorimetric technique using platinum nanoparticles stabilized by chitosan (Ch-PtNPs) to detect α-Glu activity and its inhibitor. The Ch-PtNPs facilitate the conversion of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) in the presence of dissolved O2. The catalytic hydrolysis of 2-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) by α-Glu produces ascorbic acid (AA), which reduces oxTMB to TMB, leading to the fading of the blue color. However, the presence of α-Glu inhibitors (AGIs) hinders the generation of AA, allowing Ch-PtNPs to re-oxidize colorless TMB back to blue oxTMB. This unique phenomenon enables the colorimetric detection of α-Glu activity and AGIs. The linear range for α-Glu was found to be 0.1-1.0 U mL-1 and the detection limit was 0.026 U mL-1. Additionally, the half-maximal inhibition value (IC50) for acarbose, an α-Glu inhibitor, was calculated to be 0.4769 mM. Excitingly, this sensing platform successfully detected α-Glu activity in human serum samples and effectively screened AGIs. These promising findings highlight the potential application of the proposed strategy in clinical diabetes diagnosis and drug discovery.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SANzymes) emerge as promising alternatives to conventional enzymes. However, chemical instability limits their application. Here, a systematic synthesis of highly active and stable SANzymes is presented by leveraging noble metal-porphyrins. Four noble metal-porphyrins are successfully synthesized to mimic the active site of natural peroxidases through atomic metal-N coordination anchored to the porphyrin center. These noble metal-porphyrins are integrated into a stable and biocompatible Zr-based metal-organic framework (MxP, x denoting Ir, Ru, Pt, and Pd). Among these, MIrP demonstrates superior peroxidase-like activity (685.61 U mg-1 ), catalytic efficiency, and selectivity compared to horseradish peroxidase (267.71 U mg-1 ). Mechanistic investigations unveil heightened catalytic activity of MIrP arises from its robust H2 O2 adsorption capacity, unique rate-determining step, and low energy threshold. Crucially, MIrP exhibits remarkable chemical stability under both room temperature and high H2 O2 concentrations. Further, through modification with (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate, a natural ligand for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein 1, targeted SANzyme (MIrPHE) tailored for EBV-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma is engineered. This study not only presents an innovative strategy for augmenting the catalytic activity and chemical stability of SANzymes but also highlights the substantial potential of MIrP as a potent nanomedicine for targeted catalytic tumor therapy.

Abstract
Asparaginase holds significant commercial value as an enzyme in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This study examined the optimum and practical use of the l-asparaginase derived from Pseudomonas aeruginosa HR03. Specifically, the study focused on the effectiveness of the stabilized enzyme when applied to chitosan nanoparticles. The structure, size, and morphology of chitosan nanoparticles were evaluated in relation to the immobilization procedure. This assessment involved the use of several analytical techniques, including FT-IR, DLS, SEM, TEM, and EDS analysis. Subsequently, the durability of the enzyme that has been stabilized was assessed by evaluating its effectiveness under extreme temperatures of 60 and 70 °C, as well as at pH values of 3 and 12. The findings indicate that incorporating chitosan nanoparticles led to enhanced immobilization of the l-asparaginase enzyme. This improvement was observed in terms of long-term stability, stability under crucial temperature and pH conditions, as well as thermal stability. In addition, the optimum temperature increased from 40 to 50 °C, and the optimum pH increased from 8 to 9. Enzyme immobilization led to an increase in Km and a decrease in kcat compared to its free counterpart. Because of its enhanced long-term stability, l-asparaginase immobilization on chitosan nanoparticles may be a potential choice for use in industries that rely on l-asparaginase enzymes, particularly the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Abstract
Bioenergetic deficits are known to be significant contributors to neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, identifying safe and effective means to address intracellular bioenergetic deficits remains a significant challenge. This work provides mechanistic insights into the energy metabolism-regulating function of colloidal Au nanocrystals, referred to as CNM-Au8, that are synthesized electrochemically in the absence of surface-capping organic ligands. When neurons are subjected to excitotoxic stressors or toxic peptides, treatment of neurons with CNM-Au8 results in dose-dependent neuronal survival and neurite network preservation across multiple neuronal subtypes. CNM-Au8 efficiently catalyzes the conversion of an energetic cofactor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride (NADH), into its oxidized counterpart (NAD+ ), which promotes bioenergy production by regulating the intracellular level of adenosine triphosphate. Detailed kinetic measurements reveal that CNM-Au8-catalyzed NADH oxidation obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics and exhibits pH-dependent kinetic profiles. Photoexcited charge carriers and photothermal effect, which result from optical excitations and decay of the plasmonic electron oscillations or the interband electronic transitions in CNM-Au8, are further harnessed as unique leverages to modulate reaction kinetics. As exemplified by this work, Au nanocrystals with deliberately tailored structures and surfactant-free clean surfaces hold great promise for developing next-generation therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Artificial nanoenzymes based on metal nanoclusters have received great attention for multienzyme activities nowadays. In this work, pepsin-capped copper NCs (Cu-Pep NCs) are used as oxidase, ascorbic acid oxidase (AAO), and peroxidase mimics, and their activities are enhanced by the introduction of imidazole. The oxidase activity increased almost 7.5-fold, while 5-fold and 2-fold increases were observed for the peroxidase and AAO-like activity, respectively. The enhanced radical formation in the presence of imidazole moieties facilitates the enzymatic activity of the Cu-Pep-NCs/Imid system. This work describes the different enzymatic activities of the NCs, paving a new way for artificial nanoenzymes having enhanced activities.

Abstract
Amphiphobic fluoroalkyl chains are exploited for creating robust and diverse self-assembled biomimetic catalysts. Long terminal perfluoroalkyl chains (Cn F2n+1 with n=6, 8, and 10) linked with a short perhydroalkyl chains (Cm H2m with m=2 and 3) were used to synthesize several 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (TACN) derivatives, Cn F2n+1 -Cm H2m -TACN. In the presence of an equimolar amount of Zn2+ ions that coordinate the TACN moiety and drive the self-assembly into micelle-like aggregates, the critical aggregation concentration of polyfluorinated Cn F2n+1 -Cm H2m -TACN⋅Zn2+ was lowered by ∼1 order of magnitude compared to the traditional perhyroalkyl counterpart with identical carbon number of alkyl chain. When 2'-hydroxypropyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphate was used as the model phosphate substrate, polyfluorinated Cn F2n+1 -Cm H2m -TACN⋅Zn2+ assemblies showed higher affinity and catalytic activity, compared to its perhyroalkyl chain-based counterpart. Coarse-grained molecular dynamic simulations have been introduced to explore the supramolecular assembly of polyfluoroalkyl chains in the presence of Zn2+ ions and to better understand their enhanced catalytic activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a pathophysiological process during liver transplantation, characterized by insufficient oxygen supply and subsequent restoration of blood flow leading to an overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn activates the inflammatory response and leads to cellular damage. Therefore, reducing excess ROS production in the hepatic microenvironment would provide an effective way to mitigate oxidative stress injury and apoptosis during HIRI. Nanozymes with outstanding free radical scavenging activities have aroused great interest and enthusiasm in oxidative stress treatment. RESULTS We previously demonstrated that carbon-dots (C-dots) nanozymes with SOD-like activity could serve as free radicals scavengers. Herein, we proposed that C-dots could protect the liver from ROS-mediated inflammatory responses and apoptosis in HIRI, thereby improving the therapeutic effect. We demonstrated that C-dots with anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory properties improved the survival of L-02 cells under H2O2 and LPS-treated conditions. In the animal model, Our results showed that the impregnation of C-dots could effectively scavenge ROS and reduce the expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, and TNF-α, resulting in a profound therapeutic effect in the HIRI. To reveal the potential therapeutic mechanism, transcriptome sequencing was performed and the relevant genes were validated, showing that the C-dots exert hepatoprotective effects by modulating the hepatic inflammatory network and inhibiting apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS With negligible systemic toxicity, our findings substantiate the potential of C-dots as a therapeutic approach for HIRI, thereby offering a promising intervention strategy for clinical implementation.

Abstract
A highly sensitive colorimetric method (glycan-based nano(e)zyme) was developed for sensitive and rapid detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus based on N-acetyl neuraminic acid (sialic acid)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (SA-Au NZs). A number of techniques were used to characterize the prepared nanomaterials including XRD, FT-IR, UV-vis, DLS, and TEM. DLS analysis indicates an average hydrodynamic size of 34 nm, whereas TEM analysis indicates an average particle size of 15.78 nm. This observation confirms that water interacts with nanoparticle surfaces, resulting in a large hydrodynamic diameter. The peroxidase-like activity of SA-Au NZs was examined with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses (influenza A (H1N1), influenza A (H3N2), and influenza B). UV-visible spectroscopy was used to monitor and record the results, as well as naked eye detection (photographs). SA-Au NZs exhibit a change in color from light red to purple when SARS-CoV-2 is present, and they exhibit a redshift in their spectrum. N-acetyl neuraminic acid interacts with SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein, confirming its ability to bind glycans. As a result, SA-Au NZs can detect COVID-19 with sensitivity and specificity of over 95% and 98%, respectively. This method was approved by testing saliva samples from 533 suspected individuals at Ghaem Hospital of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated by comparing the results with the definitive results. The positive results were accompanied by a color change from bright red to purple within five minutes. Statistical analysis was performed based on variables such as age, gender, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and lung involvement. In clinical trials, it was demonstrated that this method can be used to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 in a variety of places, such as medical centers, hospitals, airports, universities, and schools.

Abstract
Although traditional Fe-based nanozymes have shown great potential, generally only a small proportion of the Fe atoms on the catalyst's surface are used. Herein, we synthesized single-atom Fe on N-doped graphene nanosheets (Fe-CNG) with high atom utilization efficiency and a unique coordination structure. Active oxygen species including superoxide radicals (O2•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) were efficiently generated from the interaction of the Fe-CNG with dissolved oxygen in acidic conditions. The Fe-CNG nanozymes were found to display enhanced oxidase-like and laccase-like activity, with Vmax of 2.07 × 10-7 M∙S-1 and 4.54 × 10-8 M∙S-1 and Km of 0.324 mM and 0.082 mM, respectively, which is mainly due to Fe active centers coordinating with O and N atoms simultaneously. The oxidase-like performance of the Fe-CNG can be effectively inhibited by ascorbic acid (AA) or hydroquinone (HQ), which can directly obstruct the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Therefore, a direct and sensitive colorimetric method for the detection of AA and HQ activity was established, which exhibited good linear detection and limit of detection (LOD) of 0.048 μM and 0.025 μM, respectively. Moreover, a colorimetric method based on the Fe-CNG catalyst was fabricated for detecting the concentration of AA in vitamin C. Therefore, this work offers a new method for preparing a single-atom catalyst (SAC) nanozyme and a promising strategy for detecting AA and HQ.

Abstract
Peroxidase (POD)-like nanozymes are an upcoming class of new-generation antibiotics that are efficient for broad-spectrum antibacterial action. The POD-like activity employs the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been utilized for bactericidal action. However, their intrinsic low catalytic activity and stability limit their bactericidal properties. In this study, we prepared a MoS2-based nanocomposite with copper peroxide nanodots (MoS2@CP) to achieve pH-dependent light-induced nanozyme-based antibacterial action. It has shown superior peroxidase and antibacterial activity at low pH. The mechanism behind the enhanced POD-like activity and high antibacterial activity was established. The mechanistic pathway involves estimating ROS generation, membrane depolarization, inner membrane permeabilization, metal ion release, and the effect of NIR on photothermal and photodynamic activities. Overall, our work highlighted the combinatorial approach for eradicating bacterial infections using enzyme-based antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Ultrathin porous and highly curved two-dimensional PdCu alloy metallene are shown to be highly efficient oxidase mimics. Serving as intrinsic oxidase mimic, the ultrathin porous structure of the PdCu metallenezymes could effectively utilize all the Pd atoms of the metallenezymes during catalytic reactions. By using the oxidation capability of 3,3'5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine as distinctive chromogenic substrate, the PdCu metallenezymes was used as oxidase-like mimics for determination of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of vitamin C containing real products including fresh orange juice, commercial beverages, Vitamin C tablets and dermo-cosmetic products. AAP was hydrolyzed using ALP to generate AA and the corresponding ALP activity was successfully detected in the 0-100 U/L range with a lowest detection limit of 0.9 U/L. This study demonstrates the significant catalytic performance and oxidase-like activity of PdCu metallene nanozyme providing a strategy to develop a TAC assay for the assessment of antioxidant food quality as well as oxidative stress in skin and health care products.

Since the discovery of enzyme-like activity of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in 2007, nanozymes are becoming the promising substitutes for natural enzymes due to their advantages of high catalytic activity, low cost, mild reaction conditions, good stability, and suitable for large-scale production. Recently, with the cross fusion of nanomedicine and nanocatalysis, nanozyme-based theranostic strategies attract great attention, since the enzymatic reactions can be triggered in the tumor microenvironment to achieve good curative effect with substrate specificity and low side effects. Thus, various nanozymes have been developed and used for tumor therapy. In this review, more than 270 research articles are discussed systematically to present progress in the past five years. First, the discovery and development of nanozymes are summarized. Second, classification and catalytic mechanism of nanozymes are discussed. Third, activity prediction and rational design of nanozymes are focused by highlighting the methods of density functional theory, machine learning, biomimetic and chemical design. Then, synergistic theranostic strategy of nanozymes are introduced. Finally, current challenges and future prospects of nanozymes used for tumor theranostic are outlined, including selectivity, biosafety, repeatability and stability, in-depth catalytic mechanism, predicting and evaluating activities.

Abstract
Nanomaterials, specifically metal nanoclusters (NCs), are gaining attention as a promising class of antibacterial agents. Metal NCs exhibit antibacterial properties due to their ultrasmall size, extensive surface area, and well-controlled surface ligands. The antibacterial mechanisms of metal NCs are influenced by two primary factors: size and surface charge. In this review, we summarize the impacts of size and surface charge of metal NCs on the antibacterial mechanisms, their interactions with bacteria, and the factors that influence their antibacterial effects against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Additionally, we highlight the mechanisms that occur when NCs are negatively or positively charged, and provide examples of their applications as antibacterial agents. A better understanding of relationships between antibacterial activity and the properties of metal NCs will aid in the design and synthesis of nanomaterials for the development of effective antibacterial agents against bacterial infections. Based on the remarkable achievements in the design of metal NCs, this review also presents conclusions on current challenges and future perspectives of metal NCs for both fundamental investigations and practical antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Finding materials in biosensing that balance enzyme-like reactivity, stability, and affordability is essential for the future. Because of their unique peroxidase properties, including variable pore size, surface area, and Lewis acid active sites, iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have evolved as viable possibilities. In this study, we constructed a Fe-MOF and tested its peroxidase-like activity and responsiveness toward H2O2 colorimetric techniques. Using encapsulation, we incorporated glucose oxidase into the ZIF-90 PVP MOF and conducted a sequential reaction with the Fe-MOF to detect glucose. The results showed better peroxidase catalytic activity of the MIL-88B(Fe) (1,4-NDC) MOF and similar secondary building unit (SBU) Fe-MOFs were studied in other peroxidase nanozyme studies. When combined with an enzyme-encapsulating ZIF-90 PVP MOF, they could be sequentially employed for glucose detection purposes. This study highlights the potential of nanozymes as an alternative to natural enzymes, with promising applications in biosensing and beyond.

Bioactive Glasses-Based Nanozymes Composite Macroporous Cryogel with Antioxidative, Antibacterial, and Pro-Healing Properties for Diabetic Infected Wound Repair. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2302073. [PMID: 37589595 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202302073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
The treatment for diabetic ulcers still remains a big clinic challenge owing to the adverse repair microenvironment. Bioactive glasses (BGs) play an important role in the late stages of healing due to their ability to promote vascularization and collagen fiber deposition, but fail to improve infection and oxidative stress in the early stage.Therefore, it is critical to develop a material involved in regulating the whole healing phases. In this work, BGs-based nanozymes (MnO2 @PDA-BGs) with antioxidation, antibacterial and pro-healing abilities are synthesized by the redox deposition of MnO2 on mesoporous BGs. Afterward, cryogel with the interconnected macropore structure is fabricated by the polymerization of methacrylate anhydride gelatin (GelMA) at -20 °C. MnO2 @PDA-BGs are loaded into the cryogel to obtain nanocomposite cryogel (MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel) with multiple enzymes-like- activities to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Besides, MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel has intensive peroxidase-like activity under acidic condition and near infrared photothermal responsiveness to achieve excellent antibacterial performance. Cells experiments demonstrate that MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel recruits L929s and promotes their proliferation. Furthermore, MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel eliminates intracellular overexpressed ROS and maintains the viability of L929s. Animal experiments confirm that MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel promotes wound healing and avoided scarring by killing bacteria, reversing inflammation, promoting vascularization, and improving the deposition of collagen III.

Abstract
Phototheranostics have emerged as a promising subset of cancer theranostics owing to their potential to provide precise photoinduced diagnoses and therapeutic outcomes. However, the design of phototheranostics remains challenging due to the nature of tumors and their microenvironment, including limitations to the oxygen supply, high rates of recurrence and metastasis, and the immunosuppressive state of cancer cells. Here we report a dual-functional oxygen-independent phototheranostic agent, Ni-2, rationally designed to provide a near-infrared (NIR) photoactivated thermal- and hydroxyl radical (•OH)-enhanced photoimmunotherapeutic anticancer response. Under 880 nm laser irradiation, Ni-2 exhibited high photostability and excellent photoacoustic and photothermal effects with a photothermal conversion efficacy of 58.0%, as well as novel photoredox features that allowed the catalytic conversion of H2O2 to •OH upon photooxidation of Ni(II) to Ni(III). As a multifunctional photoagent, Ni-2 was found not only to inhibit tumor growth in a CT26 tumor-bearing mouse model but also to activate an immune response via a combination of photothermal- and H2O2-induced effects. When combined with an antiprogrammed death-ligand 1 (aPD-L1), Ni-2 treatment allowed for the suppression of distant tumor growth and cancer metastasis. Collectively, the present results provide support for the proposition that Ni-2 or its analogues could emerge as useful tools for photoimmunotherapy. They also highlight the potential of appropriately designed 3d transition metal complexes as "all- in-one" phototheranostics.

Abstract
Ferric phosphate (FePOs) nanoenzymes can express peroxidase (POD) activity under the dual stimulation of an acidic environment and high H2O2 concentrations. In living organisms, this generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in sites of lesion infection, and thus FePOs nanoenzymes can act as antimicrobial agents. Here, CeO2 and ZnO2 were immobilized in a scallop-type FePOs nanoenzyme material loaded with a photosensitizer, indocyanine green, to synthesize a multifunctional cascade nanoparticle system (FePOs-CeO2-ZnO2-ICG, FCZI NPs). H2O2 concentrations could be adjusted through the ZnO2 self-activation response to the slightly acidic environment in biofilms, further promoting the release of ROS from the POD-like reaction of FePOs, achieving amplification of oxidative stress, DNA and cell membrane damage, and exploiting the photodynamic/photothermal effects of indocyanine green to enhance the antibiofilm effects. CeO2 can remove redundant ROS by switching from Ce4+ to Ce3+ valence, enhancing its ability to fight chronic inflammation and oxidative stress and thus promoting the regeneration of tissues around infection. By maintaining the redox balance of normal cells, increasing ROS at the infection site, eliminating redundant ROS, and protecting normal tissues from damage, the synthesized system maximizes the elimination of biofilms and treatment at the infection site. Therefore, this work may pave the way for the application of biocompatible nanoenzymes.

Abstract
Fe3C nanoparticles hold promise as catalysts and nanozymes, but their low activity and complex preparation have hindered their use. Herein, this study presents a synthetic alternative toward efficient, durable, and recyclable, Fe3C-nanoparticle-encapsulated nitrogen-doped hierarchically porous carbon membranes (Fe3C/N-C). By employing a simple one-step synthetic method, we utilized wood as a renewable and environmentally friendly carbon precursor, coupled with poly(ionic liquids) as a nitrogen and iron source. This innovative strategy offers sustainable, high-performance catalysts with improved stability and reusability. The Fe3C/N-C exhibits an outstanding peroxidase-like catalytic activity toward the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, which stems from well-dispersed, small Fe3C nanoparticles jointly with the structurally unique micro-/macroporous N-C membrane. Owing to the remarkable catalytic activity for mimicking peroxidase, an efficient and sensitive colorimetric method for detecting ascorbic acid over a broad concentration range with a low limit of detection (~2.64 µM), as well as superior selectivity, and anti-interference capability has been developed. This study offers a widely adaptable and sustainable way to synthesize an Fe3C/N-C membrane as an easy-to-handle, convenient, and recoverable biomimetic enzyme with excellent catalytic performance, providing a convenient and sensitive colorimetric technique for potential applications in medicine, biosensing, and environmental fields.

Abstract
The present work aims to prepare copper-doped MgO nanoparticles via a sol-gel approach and study their antidiabetic alpha-amylase inhibition activity with undoped MgO nanoparticles. The ability of G5 amine-terminated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer for the controlled release of copper-doped MgO nanoparticles to exhibit alpha-amylase inhibition activity was also evaluated. The synthesis of MgO nanoparticles via sol-gel approach and optimization of calcination temperature and time has led to the formation of nanoparticles with different shapes (spherical, hexagonal, and rod-shaped) and a polydispersity in size ranging from 10 to 100 nm with periclase crystalline phase. The presence of copper ions in the MgO nanoparticles has altered their crystallite size, eventually modifying their size, morphology, and surface charge. The efficiency of dendrimer to stabilize spherical copper-doped MgO nanoparticles (ca. 30 %) is higher than in other samples, which was confirmed by UV-Visible, DLS, FTIR, and TEM analysis. The amylase inhibition assay emphasized that the dendrimer nanoparticles stabilization has led to the prolonged enzyme inhibition ability of MgO and copper-doped MgO nanoparticles for up to 24 h.

Abstract
Inter-cluster conversion through the strategic tuning of external stimuli and thereby modulation of the optical properties of metal nanoclusters (MNCs) is an emerging domain for exploration. Herein, we report the preparation of blue-emitting CuNCs using phenylalanine (Phe) as a template under acidic conditions (pH ∼ 4). The as-prepared CuNCs exhibit a sequential tuning of the photophysical properties upon varying the pH of the solution from pH ∼4 to pH ∼12. Blue-emitting CuNCs (B-CuNCs, λem = 410 nm) are systematically converted to cyan-emitting CuNCs (C-CuNCs, λem = 490 nm) with a large red-shifted emission maximum by 80 nm as a function of pH. Our present investigation delineates an unprecedented switchability of the photoluminescence (PL) properties of the CuNCs with the variations of the pH from pH ∼4 to pH ∼12. Both the Phe-templated CuNCs (B-CuNCs and C-CuNCs) were broadly characterized by various spectroscopic and morphological techniques. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies reveal the presence of different oxidation states in the metallic core of B-CuNCs and C-CuNCs. These results in turn substantiate the pH-induced intercluster conversion of CuNCs through the substantial change in their core composition as well as valence states. Owing to the pH sensitivity, the CuNCs act as an efficient and highly sensitive probe for CO2, and quantitative estimation of the dissolved CO2 in the form of bicarbonate ions has been achieved through the enhancement of the PL intensity, wherein a very low value of the limit of detection (LOD) of ∼60 μM was obtained. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the CuNCs act as an efficient bio-catalyst with peroxidase mimicking enzymatic activity which has been investigated using OPD as a substrate under physiological conditions (pH ∼7.4 and temperature ∼37 °C). The mechanistic investigations confirmed that the oxidation of OPD mainly proceeds through the generation of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). We hope the present investigations shed light on a multidimensional aspect of MNCs and uncover an upsurging recent interest in MNCs to act as an artificial enzyme.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and facile colorimetric assay is introduced for detecting biogenic gaseous H2S using peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity of silver core/gold shell nanoplates (Ag@Au NPls). H2S can react with Ag@Au NPls to form Ag2S or Au2S on their surface, which can reduce POD-like activity of Ag@Au NPls and consequently decrease the absorbance at 650 nm due to oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). For in situ and multiple detection of H2S, we utilized a microplate cover with 24 polydimethylsiloxane inner wells where Ag@Au NPls reacted with H2S gas followed by treatment with TMB/H2O2. As a result, the change in absorbance at 650 nm showed a linear relationship with the H2S concentration in the range 0.33 to 2.96 μM (0.36 absorbance/μM H2S in PBS, R2 = 0.994) with a limit of detection of 263 nM and a relative standard deviation of 4.4%. Finally, this assay could detect H2S released from Eikenella corrodens, used as a model bacterium, in a short time (20 min) or at a low number of bacteria (1 × 104 colony forming units/mL). Therefore, this assay is expected to be applied for the study of H2S signaling in bacterial physiology, as well as measure H2S production released from other oral bacteria that cause halitosis and oral diseases, leading to the subsequent diagnosis.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:6212.

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.

[PMID: 37674655 PMCID: PMC10478773 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpcc.3c03964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
Antioxidant composites based on nanozymes [manganese oxide microflakes (MnO2 MFs) and cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs)] were formulated by controlled heteroaggregation. The interparticle attraction via electrostatic forces was systematically tuned with surface functionalization by the poly(diallyldimethyl chloride) (PDADMAC) polyelectrolyte. The PDADMAC-coated MnO2 MFs (PMn) were heteroaggregated with oppositely charged CeO2 NPs to generate the Ce-PMn composite, while the PDADMAC-functionalized CeO2 NPs (PCe) were immobilized onto bare MnO2 MFs, resulting in the Mn-PCe composite. Both the adsorption of PDADMAC and the self-assembly of oppositely charged particles resulted in charge neutralization and charge reversal at appropriately high doses. The interparticle force regimes, the aggregation states, and the physicochemical properties of the relevant dispersions were also highly dependent on the dose of PDADMAC, as well as that of PDADMAC-functionalized metal oxides (PMO) enabling the fine-tuning and control of colloidal stability. The individual enzyme-like activity of either metal oxide was not compromised by PDADMAC adsorption and/or heteroaggregation, leading to the formation of broad-spectrum antioxidant composites exhibiting multiple enzyme-like activities such as superoxide dismutase, oxidase, and peroxidase-type functions. The low cost and ease of preparation, as well as controllable colloidal properties render such composites potential enzyme mimicking agents in various industrial fields, where processable antioxidant systems are needed.

Abstract
Rapid and sensitive antigen detection using a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is crucial for diagnosing infectious diseases due to its simplicity, speed, and user-friendly features. However, it remains a critical issue to explore specific biorecognition elements and powerful signal amplification. In this study, taking SARS-CoV-2 as a proof of concept, a specific peptide, WFLNDSELIML, binding to the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) antigen was identified by a nonamplified biopanning method, which exhibited high affinity to the target, with a dissociation constant of 9.29 ± 1.55 nM. Molecular docking analysis reveals that this peptide binds to the N-terminal domain of the SARS-CoV-2 S antigen. Then, using this peptide as a capture probe and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 as a detection probe, a peptide-based lateral flow immunoassay (pLFIA) for the sensitive detection of the SARS-CoV-2 S antigen without any antibody was developed, for which a polydopamine nanosphere (PDA)@MnO2 nanocomposite with excellent oxidase-like activity was used as a colorimetric label, exhibiting dual-mode remarkable signal amplification of natural melanin and on-demand nanozyme catalytic enhancement. The PDA@MnO2-based pLFIA is capable of detecting the SARS-CoV-2 S antigen with a limit of detection of 8.01 pg/mL, which is 18.7 times lower than that of a conventional pLFIA tagged with gold nanoparticles. Additionally, the as-proposed PDA@MnO2-based pLFIA can detect up to 150 transduction units/mL SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviruses spiked in saliva samples. Given the outstanding analytical performance, the proposed PDA@MnO2-based pLFIA may offer a reliable option for the rapid diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2.
