Abstract
Hydrolytic nanozymes, as promising alternatives to hydrolytic enzymes, can efficiently catalyze the hydrolysis reactions and overcome the operating window limitations of natural enzymes. Moreover, they exhibit several merits such as relatively low cost, easier recovery and reuse, improved operating stability, and adjustable catalytic properties. Consequently, they have found relevance in practical applications such as organic synthesis, chemical weapon degradation, and biosensing. In this review, we highlight recent works addressing the broad topic of the development of hydrolytic nanozymes. We review the preparation, properties, and applications of six types of hydrolytic nanozymes, including AuNP-based nanozymes, polymeric nanozymes, surfactant assemblies, peptide assemblies, metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, and MOFs. Last, we discuss the remaining challenges and future directions. This review will stimulate the development and application of hydrolytic nanozymes.

Bioact Mater 2023; 29:230-240. [PMID: 37502677 PMCID: PMC10371767 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The neuroinflammatory responses following ischemic stroke cause irreversible nerve cell death. Cell free-double strand DNA (dsDNA) segments from ischemic tissue debris are engulfed by microglia and sensed by their cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), which triggers robust activation of the innate immune stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway and initiate the chronic inflammatory cascade. The decomposition of immunogenic dsDNA and inhibition of the innate immune STING are synergistic immunologic targets for ameliorating neuroinflammation. To combine the anti-inflammatory strategies of STING inhibition and dsDNA elimination, we constructed a DNase-mimetic artificial enzyme loaded with C-176. Nanoparticles are self-assembled by amphiphilic copolymers (P[CL35-b-(OEGMA20.7-co-NTAMA14.3)]), C-176, and Ce4+ which is coordinated with nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) group to form corresponding catalytic structures. Our work developed a new nano-drug that balances the cGAS-STING axis to enhance the therapeutic impact of stroke by combining the DNase-memetic Ce4+ enzyme and STING inhibitor synergistically. In conclusion, it is a novel approach to modulating central nervus system (CNS) inflammatory signaling pathways and improving stroke prognosis.

Komiyama M. Ce-based solid-phase catalysts for phosphate hydrolysis as new tools for next-generation nanoarchitectonics. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS 2023; 24:2250705.

Abstract
This review comprehensively covers synthetic catalysts for the hydrolysis of biorelevant phosphates and pyrophosphates, which bridge between nanoarchitectonics and biology to construct their interdisciplinary hybrids. In the early 1980s, remarkable catalytic activity of Ce4+ ion for phosphate hydrolysis was found. More recently, this finding has been extended to Ce-based solid catalysts (CeO2 and Ce-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)), which are directly compatible with nanoarchitectonics. Monoesters and triesters of phosphates, as well as pyrophosphates, were effectively cleaved by these catalysts. With the use of either CeO2 nanoparticles or elegantly designed Ce-based MOF, highly stable phosphodiester linkages were also hydrolyzed. On the surfaces of all these solid catalysts, Ce4+ and Ce3+ coexist and cooperate for the catalysis. The Ce4+ activates phosphate substrates as a strong acid, whereas the Ce3+ provides metal-bound hydroxide as an eminent nucleophile. Applications of these Ce-based catalysts to practical purposes are also discussed.

Abstract
The complexity and overall burden of Parkinson's disease (PD) require new pharmacological approaches to counteract the symptomatology while reducing the progressive neurodegeneration of affected dopaminergic neurons. Since the pathophysiological signature of PD is characterized by the loss of physiological levels of dopamine (DA) and the misfolding and aggregation of the alpha-synuclein (α-syn) protein, new proposals seek to restore the lost DA and inhibit the progressive damage derived from pathological α-syn and its impact in terms of oxidative stress. In this line, nanomedicine (the medical application of nanotechnology) has achieved significant advances in the development of nanocarriers capable of transporting and delivering basal state DA in a controlled manner in the tissues of interest, as well as highly selective catalytic nanostructures with enzyme-like properties for the elimination of reactive oxygen species (responsible for oxidative stress) and the proteolysis of misfolded proteins. Although some of these proposals remain in their early stages, the deepening of our knowledge concerning the pathological processes of PD and the advances in nanomedicine could endow for the development of potential treatments for this still incurable condition. Therefore, in this paper, we offer: (i) a brief summary of the most recent findings concerning the physiology of motor regulation and (ii) the molecular neuropathological processes associated with PD, together with (iii) a recapitulation of the current progress in controlled DA release by nanocarriers and (iv) the design of nanozymes, catalytic nanostructures with oxidoreductase-, chaperon, and protease-like properties. Finally, we conclude by describing the prospects and knowledge gaps to overcome and consider as research into nanotherapies for PD continues, especially when clinical translations take place.

Abstract
Although banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention, organophosphorus nerve agents are still available and have been used in regional wars, terroristic attacks or for other crtaiminal purposes. Their degradation is of primary importance for the severe toxicity of these compounds. Here we report that gold nanoparticles passivated with thiolated molecules bearing 1,3,7-triazacyclononane and 1,3,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane ligands efficiently hydrolyze nerve agents simulants p-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate and methylparaoxon as transition metal complexes at 25 °C and pH 8 with half-lives of the order of a few minutes. Mechanistically, these catalysts show an enzyme-like behavior, hence they constitute an example of nanozymes. The catalytic site appears to involve a single metal ion and its recognition of the substrates is driven mostly by hydrophobic interactions. The ease of preparation and the mild conditions at which they operate, make these nanozymes appealing catalysts for the detoxification after contamination with organophosphorus nerve agents, particularly those poorly soluble in water.

Abstract
Telomeric DNA, whose length homeostasis is closely correlated with immortality of cancer cells, is regarded as a molecular clock for cellular lifespan. Regarding the capacity in forming G-quadruplex, G-rich 3′-overhang (G-overhang) has been considered as an attractive anticancer target. However, it is still challenging to precisely target telomeric G-overhang with current ligands because of the polymorphism of G-quadruplexes in cells. Herein, we construct a telomeric G-overhang-specific near-infrared-traceable DNA nano-hydrolase, which is composed of four parts: (i) dexamethasone for targeting cell nuclei; (ii) complementary DNA for hybridizing with G-overhang; (iii) multinuclear Ce(IV) complexes for hydrolyzing G-overhang; and (iv) upconversion nanoparticles for real-time tracking. The multivalent targeted DNA nano-hydrolase can be traced to precisely digest telomeric G-overhang, which contributes to telomeric DNA shortening and thereby causes cell aging and apoptosis. The anticancer treatment is further proved by in vivo studies. In this way, this design provides a telomeric G-overhang-specific eradication strategy based on a non-G-quadruplex targeting manner.

Abstract
The development of novel delivery systems capable of enhancing the antibody binding affinity and immunoactivity of short length saccharide antigens is at the forefront of modern medicine. In this regard, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) raised great interest as promising nano-vaccine platform, as they do not interfere with the desired immune response and their surface can be easily functionalized, enabling the antigen multivalent presentation. In addition, the nanoparticles morphology can have a great impact on their biological properties. Gram-positive Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a bacterium responsible for many infections and represents a priority healthcare concern, but a universal vaccine is still unavailable. Since all the GAS strains have a cell wall characterized by a common polyrhamnose backbone, this can be employed as alternative antigen to develop an anti-GAS vaccine. Herein, we present the synthesis of two oligorhamnoside fragments and their corresponding oligorhamnoside-AuNPs, designed with two different morphologies. By competitive ELISA we assessed that both symmetric and anisotropic oligorhamnan nanoparticles inhibit the binding of specific polyclonal serum much better than the unconjugated oligosaccharides.

Abstract
The selective hydrolysis of proteins by non-enzymatic catalysis is difficult to achieve, yet it is crucial for applications in biotechnology and proteomics. Herein, we report that discrete hafnium metal-oxo cluster [Hf18 O10 (OH)26 (SO4 )13 ⋅(H2 O)33 ] (Hf18 ), which is centred by the same hexamer motif found in many MOFs, acts as a heterogeneous catalyst for the efficient hydrolysis of horse heart myoglobin (HHM) in low buffer concentrations. Among 154 amino acids present in the sequence of HHM, strictly selective cleavage at only 6 solvent accessible aspartate residues was observed. Mechanistic experiments suggest that the hydrolytic activity is likely derived from the actuation of HfIV Lewis acidic sites and the Brønsted acidic surface of Hf18 . X-ray scattering and ESI-MS revealed that Hf18 is completely insoluble in these conditions, confirming the HHM hydrolysis is caused by a heterogeneous reaction of the solid Hf18 cluster, and not from smaller, soluble Hf species that could leach into solution.

Abstract
A series of 2-nm gold nanoparticles passivated with different thiols all featuring at least one triazacyclonanone-Zn(II) complex and different flanking units (a second Zn(II) complex, a triethyleneoxymethyl derivative or a guanidinium of arginine of a peptide) were prepared and studied for their efficiency in the cleavage of the RNA-model substrate 2-hydroxypropyl-p-nitrophenyl phosphate. The source of catalysis for each of them was elucidated from the kinetic analysis (Michaelis–Menten profiles, pH dependence and kinetic isotope effect). The data indicated that two different mechanisms were operative: One involving two Zn(II) complexes and the other one involving a single Zn(II) complex and a flanking guanidinium cation. The mechanism based on a dinuclear catalytic site appeared more efficient than the one based on the cooperativity between a metal complex and a guanidinium.

Abstract
Design and synthesis of enzyme mimic with programmed molecular interaction among several building blocks including metal complexes and metal chelators is of intellectual and practical significance. The preparation of artificial enzymes that mimic the natural enzymes such as hydrolases, phosphatases, etc. remains a great challenge in the field of supramolecular chemistry. Herein we report on the design and synthesis of asymmetric (nonsymmetric) supermolecules by the 2:2:2 self-assembly of an amphiphilic zinc(II)-cyclen complex containing a 2,2'-bipyridyl linker and one long alkyl chain (Zn2L3), barbital analogues, and Cu2+ as model compounds of an enzyme alkaline phosphatase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphate monoesters such as mono(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate at neutral pH in two-phase solvent system (H2O/CHCl3) in pH 7.4 and 37 °C. Hydrolytic activity of these complexes was found to be catalytic, and their catalytic turnover numbers are 3-4. The mechanistic studies based on the UV/vis and emission spectra of the H2O and CHCl3 phases of the reaction mixtures suggest that the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity balance of the supramolecular catalysts is an important factor for catalytic activity.

Abstract
In this study, mechanisms of phosphodiester hydrolysis catalyzed by six di- and tetravalent metal-cyclen (M-C) complexes (Zn-C, Cu-C, Co-C, Ce-C, Zr-C and Ti-C) have been investigated using DFT calculations. The activities of these complexes were studied using three distinct mechanisms: (1) direct attack ( DA ), (2) catalyst-assisted ( CA ), and (3) water-assisted ( WA ). All divalent metal complexes (Zn-C, Cu-C and Co-C) coordinated to the BNPP substrate in a monodentate fashion and activated its scissile phosphoester bond. However, all tetravalent metal complexes (Ce-C, Zr-C, and Ti-C) interacted with BNPP in a bidentate manner and strengthened this bond. The DA mechanism was energetically the most feasible for all divalent M-C complexes, while the WA mechanism was favored by the tetravalent complexes, except Ce-C. The divalent complexes were found to be more reactive than their tetravalent counterparts. Zn-C catalyzed the hydrolysis with the lowest barrier among all M-C complexes, while Ti-C was the most reactive tetravalent complex. The activities of Ce-C and Zr-C, except Ti-C, were improved with an increase in the coordination number of the metal ion. The structural and mechanistic information provided in this study will be very helpful in the development of more efficient metal complexes for this critical reaction.

Abstract
A sorbent for selective extraction of phosphoproteins was obtained by immobilization of a Ce(IV)-substituted polyoxometalate on ethylenediamine-functionalized graphene oxide (CeEGO). The resulting composites exhibit an adsorption capacity of 981 mg g-1 for β-casein due to the synergistic effect of metal-affinity interaction between Ce(IV) and phosphate groups and π-stacking interaction between the polyoxometalate framework and the phosphate groups. The results of LC-MS and SDS-PAGE analysis show that the CeEGO composites can be applied to the extraction of phosphoproteins from protein mixture, and as little as 50 μg mL-1 of the phosphoprotein β-casein can be detected by SDS-PAGE. It was also applied to the extraction of β-casein from spiked biological samples such as drinking milk, whole blood and swine heart tissue extract. Graphical abstract An efficient sorbent is obtained by immobilization of a Ce(IV)-substituted polyoxometalate on ethylenediamine-functionalized graphene oxide (CeEGO). The resulting composites exhibit highly selective capture capacity towards phosphoproteins due to the synergistic effect of metal-affinity interaction between Ce(IV) and phosphate groups and π-stacking interaction between the polyoxometalate framework and the phosphate groups.

Abstract
Enzyme-activated prodrug therapy (EAPT) is a widely-used and effective treatment method for cancer by converting prodrugs into drugs at the demanded time and space, whose key step is prodrug activation. Traditional prodrug activations are mostly dependent on natural enzymes, which are unstable, expensive and hard to be functionalized. The emerging enzyme mimics, especially the metal-contained enzyme mimics (MEMs), provide a potential chance for improving the traditional EAPT because of their high stability, low cost and easiness of preparation and functionalization. The existing MEMs can be classified into three categories: catalytic core-scaffold MEM (csMEM), nanoparticle MEM (npMEMs) and metal-organic framework (MOF) MEM (mofMEM). These MEMs can mimic diverse functions corresponding to natural enzymes, and some of which are potentially used in prodrug activation, such as DNase, RNase, carbonate esterase, etc. In this review, we briefly summarize the MEMs according to their structure and composition, and highlight the successful and potential applications for prodrug activation mediated by hydrolase-like and oxidoreductase-like MEMs.

Abstract
Unusually fast rates of nucleophilic catalysis of hydrazone ligation were observed when polyvalent anthranilic acid catalysts operating on polyvalent aldehyde substrates were used with PAMAM dendrimers as the common platform. When presented in this way, the catalyst has a strong accelerating effect at concentrations 40-400 times lower than those required for similar monovalent catalysts and displays unique kinetic parameters. We attribute these properties to polyvalent engagement between the dendrimer surface groups, and a potential "rolling" effect leading to fast interparticle kinetic turnover. The phenomenon is sensitive to the density of functional groups on each dendrimer, and insensitive to factors that promote or inhibit nonspecific particle aggregation. These findings constitute a rare experimental example of an underappreciated phenomenon in biological and chemical systems that are organized on interacting surfaces.

Abstract
Hydrolytic cleavage of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (NPP), a commonly used DNA model substrate, was examined in the presence of series of lanthanide-substituted Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs) [Me2NH2]11[CeIII(PW11O39)2], [Me2NH2]10[CeIV(PW11O39)2] (abbreviated as (CeIV(PW11)2), and K4[EuPW11O39] by means of NMR and luminescence spectroscopies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Among the examined complexes, the Ce(IV)-substituted Keggin POM (CeIV(PW11)2) showed the highest reactivity, and its aqueous speciation was fully determined under different conditions of pD, temperature, concentration, and ionic strength by means of 31P and 31P diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy. The cleavage of the phosphoester bond of NPP in the presence of (CeIV(PW11)2) proceeded with an observed rate constant kobs = (5.31 ± 0.06) × 10-6 s-1 at pD 6.4 and 50 °C. The pD dependence of NPP hydrolysis exhibits a bell-shaped profile, with the fastest rate observed at pD 6.4. The formation constant (Kf = 127 M-1) and catalytic rate constant (kc = 19.41 × 10-5 s-1) for the NPP-Ce(IV)-Keggin POM complex were calculated, and binding between CeIV(PW11)2 and the phosphate group of NPP was also evidenced by the change of the chemical shift of the 31P nucleus in NPP upon addition of the POM complex. DFT calculations revealed that binding of NPP to the parent catalyst CeIV(PW11)2 is thermodynamically unlikely. On the contrary, formation of complexes with the monomeric 1:1 species, CeIVPW11, is considered to be more favorable, and the most stable complex, [CeIVPW11(H2O)2(NPP-κO)2]7-, was found to involve two NPP ligands coordinated to the CeIVcenter of CeIVPW11 in the monodentate fashion. The formation of such species is considered to be responsible for the hydrolytic activity of CeIV(PW11)2 toward phosphomonoesters. On the basis of these findings a principle mechanism for the hydrolysis of NPP by the POM is proposed.

Abstract
Although the term nanozymes was coined by us in 2004 to highlight the enzyme-like properties of gold nanoparticles passivated with a monolayer of Zn(II)-complexes in the cleavage of phosphate diesters, systems resembling those metallo-nanoparticles, like micelles and vesicles, have been the subject of investigation since the mid-eighties of the last century. This paper reviews what has been done in the field and compares the different nanosystems highlighting the source of catalysis and frequent misconceptions found in the literature.

Abstract
Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is an essential structural component during biofilm formation, including initial bacterial adhesion, subsequent development, and final maturation. Herein, the construction of a DNase-mimetic artificial enzyme (DMAE) for anti-biofilm applications is described. By confining passivated gold nanoparticles with multiple cerium(IV) complexes on the surface of colloidal magnetic Fe3 O4 /SiO2 core/shell particles, a robust and recoverable artificial enzyme with DNase-like activity was obtained, which exhibited high cleavage ability towards both model substrates and eDNA. Compared to the high environmental sensitivity of natural DNase in anti-biofilm applications, DMAE exhibited a much better operational stability and easier recoverability. When DMAE was coated on substratum surfaces, biofilm formation was inhibited for prolonged periods of time, and the DMAE excelled in the dispersion of established biofilms of various ages. Finally, the presence of DMAE remarkably potentiated the efficiency of traditional antibiotics to kill biofilm-encased bacteria and eradiate biofilms.

Abstract
Lanthanide ions are strong Lewis acids. Their complexation to a variety of ligands can further enhance their Lewis acidity allowing the hydrolysis of phosphoesters and even DNA. We show that the interaction of lanthanide ions with vesicles from zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine lipids gives supramolecular structures in which the metal ion is loosely coordinated to the surface. This assembly provides a high density of Lewis-acidic metal centres, which hydrolyze phosphodiesters with enhanced rates.

Abstract
With the goal of designing a lysosomal phospholipase mimic, we optimized experimental variables to enhance Ce(IV) -assisted hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes. Our best result was obtained with the chelating agent bis-tris propane (BTP). Similar to the hydrolytic enzyme, Ce(IV) -assisted hydrolysis of PC phosphate ester bonds was higher at lysosomal pH (∼4.8) compared to pH 7.2. In the presence of BTP, the average cleavage yield at ∼pH 4.8 and 37 °C was: 67±1 %, 5.7-fold higher than at ∼pH 7.2 and roughly equivalent to the percent of phospholipid found on the metal-accessible exo leaflet of small liposomes. No Ce(IV) precipitation was observed. When BTP was absent, there was significant turbidity, and the amount of cleavage at ∼pH 4.8 (69±1 %) was 2.1-fold higher than the yield obtained at ∼pH 7.2. Our results show that BTP generates homogenous solutions of Ce(IV) that hydrolyze phosphatidylcholine with enhanced selectivity for lysosomal pH.

Abstract
Reversible protein phosphorylation is a key event in numerous biological processes. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the most powerful analysis tool in modern phosphoproteomics. However, the direct MS analysis of phosphorylated proteins/peptides is still a big challenge because of the low abundance and insufficient ionization of phosphorylated proteins/peptides as well as the suppression effects of nontargets. Enrichment of phosphorylated proteins/peptides by affinity materials from complex biosamples is the most widely used strategy to enhance the MS detection. The demand of efficiently enriching phosphorylated proteins/peptides has spawned diverse affinity materials based on different enrichment principles (e.g., electronic attraction, chelating). In this review, we summarize the recent development of various affinity materials for phosphorylated proteins/peptides enrichment. We will highlight the design and fabrication of these affinity materials, discuss the enrichment mechanisms involved in different affinity materials, and suggest the future challenges and research directions in this field.

Abstract
Creating artificial enzymes that mimic the complexity and function of natural systems has been a great challenge for the past two decades. In this Progress Report, the focus is on recently discovered "hidden talents" of gold nanomaterials in artificial enzymes, including mimicking of nuclease, esterase, silicatein, glucose oxidase, peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase. These unexpected enzyme-like activities can be ascribed to nano-gold itself or the functional groups present on surrounding monolayer. Along with introducing the mechanisms of the various enzyme-like activities, the design and development of gold-based biomimetic catalysts, the search for efficient modulators, and their potential applications in bionics, biosensing, and biomedical sciences are highlighted. Eventually, it is expected that the rapidly growing interest in gold-based nanozymes will certainly fuel the excitement and stimulate research in this highly active field.

Abstract
Hypodentate diamine cobalt(III) pentammine complexes [Co(NH3)5(NH2(CH2)(n)NH3)](ClO4)4 (8: a: n = 3; b: n = 4; c: n = 6; d: n = 8) have been synthesized via the reaction of [Co(NH3)5(OTf)](OTf)2 (TfOH = CF3SO3H) with the corresponding diamines. The analogous t-boc protected diamine complexes [Co(NH3)5(NH2(CH2)(n)NHt-boc)](ClO4)3 (7a-d) were prepared in 4-26% yield. Low yields for the formation of 7a-d are due to competing side reactions which also gave [Co(NH3)6](3+). Complexes 7a-d were deprotected using trifluoroacetic acid to give the corresponding hypodentate diamine complexes [Co(NH3)5(NH2(CH2)(n)NH3)](CF3CO2)0.5(ClO4)3.5 (9a-d). HBTU coupling of 8c with N-(t-boc)-L-phenylalanine gave an amino acid functionalized cobalt pentammine complex [Co(NH3)5(NH2(CH2)6NHt-boc)-L-phenylalanine)](ClO4)3 (10). All new complexes were characterized using UV-vis and (1)H NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Grafting of 8c onto 2.4 mm poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (PEAA) beads was achieved via amide coupling. Complex 8c was coupled to thioctic acid via amide coupling and the resulting cobalt disulfide complex [Co(NH3)5(N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-(1,2-dithiolan-3-yl)pentanamide)](ClO4)3 (11) was attached to 10 nm Au nanoparticles. The amount of cobalt loading onto PEAA beads and Au nanoparticles was determined using ICP-MS and EDX.

Abstract
Phosphate esters are essential to any living organism and their specific hydrolysis plays an important role in many metabolic processes. As phosphodiester bonds can be extraordinary stable, as in DNA, great effort has been put into mimicking the active sites of hydrolytic enzymes which can easily cleave these linkages and were often found to contain one or more coordinated metal ions. With this in mind, we report micellar and vesicular Zn(II)-cyclen complexes which considerably promote the hydrolytic cleavage of native DNA and the activated model substrate bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (BNPP). They are formed by self-assembly from amphiphilic derivatives of previously employed complexes in aqueous solution and therefore allow a simple and rapid connection of multiple active metal sites without great synthetic effort. Considering the hydrolytic cleavage of BNPP at 25 °C and pH 8, the micellar and vesicular metal catalysts show an increase of second-order rate constants (k(2)) by 4-7 orders of magnitude compared to the unimolecular complexes under identical conditions. At neutral pH, they produce the highest k(2) values reported so far. For pBR322 plasmid DNA, both a conversion of the supercoiled to the relaxed and linear form, and also a further degradation into smaller fragments by double strand cleavages could be observed after incubation with the vesicular Zn(II)-complexes. Finally, even the cleavage of nonactivated single-stranded oligonucleotides could be considerably promoted compared to background reaction.

Abstract
Phosphoric acid diesters form anions at neutral pH. As a result of charge repulsion they are notoriously resistant to hydrolysis. Nucleophilic attack, however, can be promoted by different types of electrophilic catalysts that bind to the anions and reduce their negative charge density. Although in most cases phosphodiester-cleaving enzymes and synthetic catalysts rely on Lewis acidic metal ions, some exploit the guanidinium residues of arginine as metal-free electrophiles. Here we report that a combination of two guanidines and a hydroxy group yields highly reactive receptor molecules that can attack a broad range of phosphodiester substrates by nucleophilic displacement at phosphorus in a single-turnover mode. Some stable O-phosphates were isolated and characterized further by NMR spectroscopy. The bis(guanidinium)naphthols also cleave plasmid DNA, presumably by a transphosphorylation mechanism.

Abstract
Properties of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be tailored by the curvature of the underlying surface. This is so because on a curved support the density of SAM headgroups is always smaller than that of the surface-attachment sites. This density difference increases with increasing curvature and is most pronounced for SAMs formed on nanoscopic particles. This Perspective describes systems in which nanoscale curvature causes pronounced changes in the pK(a) of acid-presenting SAMs or in the electrochemical potential of redox-active molecules (including supramolecular "switches") attached to nanoparticles. It is suggested that in nanoparticles having regions of different curvature these geometrical differences can translate into site-selective charging; such "patchy" particles could be used as building blocks of pH-sensitive assemblies.
