Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with atomically dispersed active sites are potential substitutes for natural enzymes. A systematic study of its multiple functions can in-depth understand SAzymes's nature, which remains elusive. Here, we develop a novel ultrafast synthesis of sputtered SAzymes by in situ bombarding-embedding technique. Using this method, sputtered copper (Cu) SAzymes (CuSA) is developed with unreported unique planar Cu-C3 coordinated configuration. To enhance the tumor-specific targeting, we employ a bioorthogonal approach to engineer CuSA, denoted as CuSACO. CuSACO not only exhibits minimal off-target toxicity but also possesses exceptional ultrahigh catalase-, oxidase-, peroxidase-like multienzyme activities, resulting in reactive oxygen species (ROS) storm generation for effective tumor destruction. Surprisingly, CuSACO can release Cu ions in the presence of glutathione (GSH) to induce cuproptosis, enhancing the tumor treatment efficacy. Notably, CuSACO's remarkable photothermal properties enables precise photothermal therapy (PTT) on tumors. This, combined with nanozyme catalytic activities, cuproptosis and immunotherapy, efficiently inhibiting the growth of orthotopic breast tumors and gliomas, and lung metastasis. Our research highlights the potential of CuSACO as an innovative strategy to utilize multiple mechanism to enhance tumor therapeutic efficacy, broadening the exploration and development of enzyme-like behavior and physiological mechanism of action of SAzymes.

Abstract
The detection of the amount of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in milk is crucial for food safety. Here, we utilize a fiber optic (FO) localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensor by constructing gold nanoparticle (AuNP) multimers, in which the nanogaps amplified the LSPR signal by the hot spot effect, and achieved a highly sensitive detection of f AFM1. Through the optimization of parameter conditions for the fabrication of the sensor and detection system, a high performance result from the FO LSPR biosensor was obtained, and the method for AFM1 detection was established, with a wide detection range of 0.05-100 ng/mL and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.04 ng/mL, and it has been successfully validated with the actual sample milk. Therefore, it is a good strategy to fabricate highly sensitive FO LSPR sensors for detecting AFM1 by constructing AuNP multimers, and this approach is suitable for developing other biosensors.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes with well-defined atomic structures and electronic coordination environments can effectively mimic the functions of natural enzymes. However, the costly and intricate preparation processes have hindered further exploration and application of these single-atom nanozymes. In this study, we presented a synthesis technique for creating Fe-N central single-atom doped graphene quantum dot (FeN/GQDs) nanozymes using a one-step solvothermal process, where individual iron atoms form strong bonds with graphene quantum dots through nitrogen coordination. Unlike previous studies, this method significantly simplifies the synthesis conditions for single-atom nanozymes, eliminating the need for high temperatures and employing environmentally friendly precursors derived from pineapple (ananas comosus) leaves. The resulting FeN/GQDs exhibited peroxidase-like catalytic activity and kinetics comparable to that of natural enzymes, efficiently converting H2O2 into hydroxyl radical species. Leveraging their excellent peroxide-like activity, FeN/GQDs nanozymes have been successfully applied to construct a colorimetric biosensor system characterized by remarkably high sensitivity for glucose detection. This achievement demonstrated a promising approach to designing single-atom nanozymes with both facile synthesis procedures and high catalytic activity, offering potential applications in wearable sensors and personalized health monitoring.

Abstract
Compared with traditional "lock-key mode" biosensors, a sensor array consists of a series of sensing elements based on intermolecular interactions (typically hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and electrostatic interactions). At the same time, sensor arrays also have the advantages of fast response, high sensitivity, low energy consumption, low cost, rich output signals, and imageability, which have attracted widespread attention from researchers. Nanozymes are nanomaterials which own enzyme-like properties. Because of the adjustable activity, high stability, and cost effectiveness of nanozymes, they are potential candidates for construction of sensor arrays to output different signals from analytes through the chemoresponse of colorants, which solves the shortcomings of traditional sensors that they cannot support multiple detection and lack universality. Recently, a sensor array based on nanozymes as nonspecific recognition receptors has attracted much more attention from researchers and has been applied to precise recognition of proteins, bacteria, and heavy metals. In this perspective, attention is given to nanozymes and the regulation of their enzyme-like activity. Particularly, the building principles and methods for sensor arrays based on nanozymes are analyzed, and the applications are summarized. Finally, the approaches to overcome the challenges and perspectives are also presented and analyzed for facilitating further research and development of nanozyme sensor arrays. This perspective should be helpful for gaining insight into research ideas within the field of nanozyme sensor arrays.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) showcase not only uniformly dispersed active sites but also meticulously engineered coordination structures. These intricate architectures bestow upon them an exceptional catalytic prowess, thereby captivating numerous minds and heralding a new era of possibilities in the biomedical landscape. Tuning the microstructure of SAzymes on the atomic scale is a key factor in designing targeted SAzymes with desirable functions. This review first discusses and summarizes three strategies for designing SAzymes and their impact on reactivity in biocatalysis. The effects of choices of carrier, different synthesis methods, coordination modulation of first/second shell, and the type and number of metal active centers on the enzyme-like catalytic activity are unraveled. Next, a first attempt is made to summarize the biological applications of SAzymes in tumor therapy, biosensing, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and other biological applications from different mechanisms. Finally, how SAzymes are designed and regulated for further realization of diverse biological applications is reviewed and prospected. It is envisaged that the comprehensive review presented within this exegesis will furnish novel perspectives and profound revelations regarding the biomedical applications of SAzymes.

Abstract
Designing biomimetic nanomaterials with peroxidase (POD)-like activity at neutral pH remains a significant challenge. An S-doping strategy is developed to afford an iron single-atom nanomaterial (Fe1@CN-S) with high POD-like activity under neutral conditions. To the best of knowledge, there is the first example on the achievement of excellent POD-like activity under neutral conditions by regulating the active site structure. S-doping not only promotes the dissociation of the N─H bond in 3,3″,5,5″-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), but also facilitates the desorption of OH* by the transformation of iron species' spin states from middle-spin (MS FeII) to low-spin (LS FeII). Meanwhile, LS FeII sites typically have more unfilled d orbitals, thereby exhibiting stronger interactions with H2O2 than MS FeII, which can enhance POD-like activity. Finally, a one-pot visual detection of glucose at pH 7 is performed, demonstrating the best selectivity and sensitivity than previous reports.

Abstract
Nanozymes, a class of nanomaterials mimicking the function of enzymes, have aroused much attention as the candidate in diverse fields with the arbitrarily tunable features owing to the diversity of crystalline nanostructures, composition, and surface configurations. However, the uncertainty of their active sites and the lower intrinsic deficiencies of nanomaterial-initiated catalysis compared with the natural enzymes promote the pursuing of alternatives by imitating the biological active centers. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) maximize the atom utilization with the well-defined structure, providing an important bridge to investigate mechanism and the relationship between structure and catalytic activity. They have risen as the new burgeoning alternative to the natural enzyme from in vitro bioanalytical tool to in vivo therapy owing to the flexible atomic engineering structure. Here, focus is mainly on the three parts. First, a detailed overview of single-atom catalyst synthesis strategies including bottom-up and top-down approaches is given. Then, according to the structural feature of single-atom nanocatalysts, the influence factors such as central metal atom, coordination number, heteroatom doping, and the metal-support interaction are discussed and the representative biological applications (including antibacterial/antiviral performance, cancer therapy, and biosensing) are highlighted. In the end, the future perspective and challenge facing are demonstrated.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) derived nitrogen-doped carbon-supported monodisperse Fe (Fe-N-C) catalysts are intensively studied, but great challenges remain in understanding the relationship between the coordination structure and the performance of Fe-N-C nanozymes. Herein, a novel nanocluster ligand-bridging strategy is proposed for constructing Fe-S1 N4 structures with axially coordinated S and Au nanoclusters on ZIF-8 derived Fe-N-C (labeled Aux /Fe-S1 N4 -C). The axial Au nanoclusters facilitate electron transfer to Fe active sites, utilizing the bridging ligand S as a medium, thereby enhancing the oxygen adsorption capacity of composite nanozymes. Compared to Fe-N-C, Aux /Fe-S1 N4 -C exhibits high oxidase-like specificity and activity, and holds great potential for detecting acetylcholinesterase activity with a detection limit of 5.1 µU mL-1 , surpassing most reported nanozymes.

Abstract
In this work, we prepared a simple and low-cost cobalt-doped Prussian blue analog (Co-PBA), which can directly oxidize 10-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce resorufin (ox-AR) with high fluorescent quantum yield and ox-TMB with blue color, respectively, without the need for unstable H2O2. Using the Michaelis-Menten curve and Lineweaver-Burk equation, the Michaelis-Menten constant of Co-PBA and the substrate TMB was found to be 0.033 mM, which was much lower than horseradish peroxidase and other reported nanozymes, showing satisfactory substrate affinity. Uric acid (UA) can cause erosion of the Co-PBA structure, and it significantly reduces the catalytic activity of Co-PBA, resulting in the decrease of the fluorescence emission signal of ox-AR and the absorption signal of ox-TMB. Based on this, a simple, sensitive, and fast fluorescence/colorimetric dual-mode uric acid detection platform was established. The detection range for UA by fluorescence method is 0.625-40 μM, and the detection limit (LOD, S/N = 3) is as low as 0.389 μM. The detection system was applied to serum samples with good recovery and can be used for field detection of UA in biological samples under different environments to meet different needs.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) have been greatly developed for rapid detection, owing to their rich active sites and excellent catalytic activity. Although several excellent reviews concentrating on SAzymes have been reported, they mainly focused on advanced synthesis, sensing mechanisms, and biomedical applications. To date, few reviews elaborate on the promising applications of SAzymes in food safety inspection and food nutrition evaluation. In this paper, we systematically reviewed the enzyme-like activity of SAzymes and the catalytic mechanism, in addition to recent research advances of SAzymes in the domain of food safety inspection and food nutrition evaluation in the past few years. Furthermore, current challenges hampering practical applications of SAzymes in food assay are summarized and analyzed, and possible research areas focusing on SAzyme-based sensors in rapid food testing are also proposed.

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.

Diatomic iron nanozyme with lipoxidase-like activity for efficient inactivation of enveloped virus. Nat Commun 2023; 14:7312. [PMID: 37951992 PMCID: PMC10640610 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-43176-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Enveloped viruses encased within a lipid bilayer membrane are highly contagious and can cause many infectious diseases like influenza and COVID-19, thus calling for effective prevention and inactivation strategies. Here, we develop a diatomic iron nanozyme with lipoxidase-like (LOX-like) activity for the inactivation of enveloped virus. The diatomic iron sites can destruct the viral envelope via lipid peroxidation, thus displaying non-specific virucidal property. In contrast, natural LOX exhibits low antiviral performance, manifesting the advantage of nanozyme over the natural enzyme. Theoretical studies suggest that the Fe-O-Fe motif can match well the energy levels of Fe2 minority β-spin d orbitals and pentadiene moiety π* orbitals, and thus significantly lower the activation barrier of cis,cis-1,4-pentadiene moiety in the vesicle membrane. We showcase that the diatomic iron nanozyme can be incorporated into air purifier to disinfect airborne flu virus. The present strategy promises a future application in comprehensive biosecurity control.

Abstract
Nanozyme-based colorimetric assays have shown great potential in the rapid and sensitive determination of pesticide residue in environment. However, the non-specific enzyme inhibition makes the assays generally lack of selectivity. In this study, we proposed a colorimetric sensing platform for the specific detection of the agricultural fungicide thiophanate-methyl (TM) based on its distinctive inhibitory effect on the nanozyme activity. Since TM contains the symmetric ethylenediamine- and bisthiourea-like groups, it displays strong affinity to the metal site, leading to a loss of the catalytic activity. Accordingly, a Cu-doped carbon nanozyme with excellent oxidase-like properties was designed, and the oxidation process of chromogenic substrate is promoted by Cu-induced generation of reactive oxygen species. Interestingly, the nanozyme activity can be directly and strongly restrained by TM, rather than other probably coexistent pesticides. Consequently, the as-proposed analytical method exhibits specific response toward TM and good linear relationship in the range of 0.2-15 μg mL-1 with a low limit of detection of 0.04 μg mL-1 (S/N = 3). Besides, a smartphone-assisted rapid detection was achieved through identifying the RGB value of the chromogenic system. This work provides a new nanozyme inhibition strategy for the specific detection of TM in environmental sample.

Abstract
Self-powered sensing system (SPSS) integrating the enzymatic biofuel cell and biosensing platform has attracted tremendous interest. However, natural enzymes suffer from the intrinsic drawbacks of enzymes and enzymatic proteins. Nanozymes with enzyme-like activities are the ideal alternatives to enzymes, and it is greatly challenging to explore high-performance nanozymatic biofuel cell for SPSS. Herein, the advanced nanozymatic biofuel cell-enabled SPSS is developed for the sensitive detection of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), where Ir single atoms supported by nitrogen-doped carbon and Au nanozymes serve as the cathode and anode, respectively. Based on the excellent electrochemical activity and stability, the resultant nanozymatic biofuel cell exhibits a higher power output and open-circuit potential than the Pt/C-based counterpart, which is beneficial for the application of SPSS. As a proof of concept, the nanozymatic biofuel cell-enabled SPSS shows a wide detection range of 0.2-500 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 62 pg mL-1 for PSA, which provides new insight into broadening the application scenarios of nanozymes.

Abstract
In nature, enzymatic reactions occur in well-functioning catalytic pockets, where substrates bind and react by properly arranging the catalytic sites and amino acids in a three-dimensional (3D) space. Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) are a new type of nanozymes with active sites similar to those of natural metalloenzymes. However, the catalytic centers in current SAzymes are two-dimensional (2D) architectures and the lack of collaborative substrate-binding features limits their catalytic activity. Herein, we report a dimensionality engineering strategy to convert conventional 2D Fe-N-4 centers into 3D structures by integrating oxidized sulfur functionalities onto the carbon plane. Our results suggest that oxidized sulfur functionalities could serve as binding sites for assisting substrate orientation and facilitating the desorption of H2O, resulting in an outstanding specific activity of up to 119.77 U mg-1, which is 6.8 times higher than that of conventional FeN4C SAzymes. This study paves the way for the rational design of highly active single-atom nanozymes.

Abstract
Natural enzymes are crucial in biological systems and widely used in biology and medicine, but their disadvantages, such as insufficient stability and high-cost, have limited their wide application. Since Fe3O4 nanoparticles were found to show peroxidase-like activity, researchers have designed and developed a growing number of nanozymes that mimic the activity of natural enzymes. Nanozymes can compensate for the defects of natural enzymes and show higher stability with lower cost. Iron, a nontoxic and low-cost transition metal, has been used to synthesize a variety of iron-based nanozymes with unique structural and physicochemical properties to obtain different enzymes mimicking catalytic properties. In this perspective, catalytic mechanisms, activity modulation, and their recent research progress in sensing, tumor therapy, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory applications are systematically presented. The challenges and perspectives on the development of iron-based nanozymes are also analyzed and discussed.

Abstract
Nanozymes are functional nanomaterials with enzyme-mimicking activities, which have found wide applications in various fields. Investigation on nanozyme inhibitors not only helps to apply nanozymes in a controlled manner but also deepens our insight into the catalysis mechanism. Herein, we report an inorganic ion inhibitor, HCO3-, which can significantly inhibit the alkaline phosphatase-mimicking activities of Ce6 cluster-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF) nanozymes. The inhibition of adsorption of the negatively charged fluorescence sodium on Ce6 clusters in Ce-MOF nanoparticles (NPs) by HCO3- proves that HCO3- ions occupy and deactivate Ce6 clusters (i.e., catalytic active sites), leading to the activity inhibition of Ce-MOF nanozymes. Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride (Tris-HCl) buffer is widely employed as the alkaline reaction medium. HCO3- ions can be formed in Tris-HCl buffer through adsorption of CO2 in the air during storage in a sealed tube, which significantly inhibits the activity of Ce-MOF nanozymes. To our knowledge, this study is the first to demonstrate an air-derived inhibitor of nanozymes.

Abstract
Local geometric configurations of metal cations in inorganic enzyme mimics determine their catalytic behaviors, while their optimization remains challenging. Herein, kaolinite, a naturally layered clay mineral, achieves the optimization of cationic geometric configuration in manganese ferrite. We demonstrate that the exfoliated kaolinite induces the formation of defective manganese ferrite and makes more iron cations fill into the octahedral sites, significantly enhancing the multiple enzyme-mimicking activities. The steady-state kinetic assay results show that the catalytic constant of composites toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and H2O2 are more than 7.4- and 5.7-fold higher than manganese ferrite, respectively. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the outstanding enzyme-mimicking activity of composites is attributed to the optimized iron cation geometry configuration, which has a higher affinity and activation ability toward H2O2 and lowers the energy barrier of key intermediate formation. As a proof of concept, the novel structure with multiple enzyme-mimicking activities amplifies the colorimetric signal, realizing the ultrasensitive visual detection of disease marker acid phosphatase (ACP), with a detection limit of 0.25 mU/mL. Our findings provide a novel strategy for the rational design of enzyme mimics and an in-depth investigation of their enzyme-mimicking properties.

Abstract
Nanozymes have been relatively well explored, and bimetal-doped nanozymes have attracted much exploration due to their superior catalytic activity. We developed bimetallic FeCu/NPCs and Cu/NPCs nanozymes, which have good catalytic properties due to the coordination of Fe and Cu with N and P. The nanozymes acted as sensing elements in a cascade reaction system to effectively recognize seven terpenoids, including menthol (Men), paeoniflorin (Pae), camphor (Cam), paclitaxel (Pac), andrographolide (Andro), ginkgolide A (Gin A), and piperone (Pip). Terpenoids act as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and reduce the hydrolysis of acetylcholine (ATCh), providing insight into establishing a simple and distinct assay for terpenoids. Notably, the sensor array distinguished seven terpenoids with concentrations as low as 10 ng/mL and achieved high-precision detection of mixed samples with different molar ratios and 21 unknown samples. Finally, the sensor array successfully distinguished and identified multiple terpenoids in herbal samples.

Electrochemical biomimetic enzyme cascade amplification combined with target-induced DNA walker for detection of thrombin. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:188. [PMID: 37079080 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-05769-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
Fe-N-doped carbon nanomaterials (Fe-N/CMs) were designed as a novel biomimetic enzyme with excellent peroxidase-like activity to achieve high-efficient enzyme cascade catalytic amplification with the aid of glucose oxidase (GOx), which was further combined with target-induced DNA walker amplification to develop a sensitive electrochemical biosensor for thrombin detection. Impressively, massive output DNA was transformed from small amounts of target thrombin by highly effective DNA walker amplification as protein-converting strategy, which could then induce the immobilization of functionalized nanozyme on the electrode surface to achieve the high-efficient electrochemical biomimetic enzyme cascade amplification. As a result, an amplified enzyme cascade catalytic signal was measured for thrombin detection ranging from 0.01 pM to 1 nM with a low detection limit of 3 fM. Importantly, the new biomimetic enzyme cascade reaction coupled the advantages of natural enzyme and nanozyme, which paved an avenue to construct varied artificial multienzymes amplification systems for biosensing, bioanalysis, and disease diagnosis applications.

Abstract
In this work, we synthesize a series of hierarchically organized gold nanoparticles (Au HOPs-X) with peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity by the in situ reduction of Au-thiolate hierarchically organized particles (Au HOPs). The initial Au HOPs show little POD-like catalytic activity. However, after the reduction of the particles, the Au HOPs-X showed enhanced POD-like catalytic activity, where X represents the reduction degree of Au HOPs. The reasons are as follows: (1) the Au-thiolate complexes on the surface of the Au HOPs-X were reduced into Au nanoparticles, and the active Au0 content increases with the increase of the reduction degree; (2) the specific surface area of Au HOPs-X becomes larger. Based on this, the Au HOPs-10 with the highest catalytic activity were combined with glucose oxidase to obtain a standard curve as a function of glucose concentrations. The color of the solutions was captured by mobile phone photos to determine their saturation, and the rapid detection of glucose was achieved through the standard curve of glucose concentration and saturation determined in this study.

Abstract
Controllable design of the nanocrystal-assembled plasmonic/magnetic nanoarchitectures (P/MNAs) inspires abundant methodologies to enhance light-matter interactions and control magnetic-induced effects by means of fine-tuning the morphology and ordered packing of noble metallic or magnetic building blocks. The burgeoning development of multifunctional nanoarchitectures has opened up broad range of interdisciplinary applications including biosensing, in vitro diagnostic devices, point-of-care (POC) platforms, and soft bioelectronics. By taking advantage of their customizability and efficient conjugation with capping biomolecules, various nanoarchitectures have been integrated into high-performance biosensors with remarkable sensitivity and versatility, enabling key features that combined multiplexed detection, ease-of-use and miniaturization. In this review, we provide an overview of the representative developments of nanoarchitectures that being built by plasmonic and magnetic nanoparticles over recent decades. The design principles and key mechanisms for signal amplification and quantitative sensitivity have been explored. We highlight the structure-function programmability and prospects of addressing the main limitations for conventional biosensing strategies in terms of accurate selectivity, sensitivity, throughput, and optoelectronic integration. State-of-the-art strategies to achieve affordable and field-deployable POC devices for early multiplexed detection of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 has been covered in this review. Finally, we discuss the urgent yet challenging issues in nanoarchitectures design and related biosensing application, such as large-scale fabrication and integration with portable devices, and provide perspectives and suggestions on developing smart biosensors that connecting the materials science and biomedical engineering for personal health monitoring.

Abstract
The large-scale application of nanozymes remains a significant challenge owing to their unsatisfactory catalytic performances. Featuring a unique electronic structure and coordination environment, single-atom nanozymes provide great opportunities to vividly mimic the specific metal catalytic center of natural enzymes and achieve superior enzyme-like activity. In this study, the spin state engineering of Fe single-atom nanozymes (FeNC) is employed to enhance their peroxidase-like activity. Pd nanoclusters (PdNC) are introduced into FeNC, whose electron-withdrawing properties rearrange the spin electron occupation in Fe(ii) of FeNC-PdNC from low spin to medium spin, facilitating the heterolysis of H2O2 and timely desorption of H2O. The spin-rearranged FeNC-PdNC exhibits greater H2O2 activation activity and rapid reaction kinetics compared to those of FeNC. As a proof of concept, FeNC-PdNC is used in the immunosorbent assay for the colorimetric detection of prostate-specific antigen and achieves an ultralow detection limit of 0.38 pg mL-1. Our spin-state engineering strategy provides a fundamental understanding of the catalytic mechanism of nanozymes and facilitates the design of advanced enzyme mimics.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozyme (SAzyme) is the hot topic of the current nanozyme research. Its intrinsic properties, such as high activity, stability, and low cost, present great substitutes to natural enzymes. Moreover, its fundamental characteristics, i.e., maximized atom utilizations and well-defined geometric and electronic structures, lead to higher catalytic activities and specificity than traditional nanozymes. SAzymes have been applied in many biomedical areas, such as anti-tumor therapy, biosensing, antibiosis, and anti-oxidation therapy. Here, we will discuss a series of representative examples of SAzymes categorized by their biomedical applications in this review. In the end, we will address the future opportunities and challenges SAzymes facing in their designs and applications.

Abstract
β-Glucuronidase catalyzes the cleavage of glucuronosyl-O-bonds, whose inhibitors reduce the level of toxic substances present in the intestine caused by anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory therapies. Herein, we presented a new tool, Bioactive Fractions Filtering Platform (BFFP), which is able to reliably discern active candidate node from crude extracts. The source code for the BFFP is available on GitHub (https://github.com/BioGavin/msbff). With the assistant of BFFP, 25 gabosine and chlorogentisyl alcohol derivatives including 19 new compounds were isolated from a marine-derived fungus Epicoccum sp. GST-5. Compounds 7, 9-15 possessed an unusual hybrid skeleton of gabosine and chlorogentisyl alcohol units. Compounds 9-12, 16 and 17 possessed a novel three-membered spiral ring skeleton with one/two gabosine and one/two chlorogentisyl alcohol units. Compound 25 represented new gabosine-derived skeleton possessing an unusual 6/6/6/5/6 condensed ring system. All isolates were evaluated for in vitro E. coli β-glucuronidase (EcGUS) inhibitory activity. 14 Compounds demonstrated superior inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.24-4.61 μM) to that of standard d-saccharic acid 1,4-lactone (DSL, IC50 = 56.74 ± 4.01 μM). Compounds with chlorogentisyl alcohol moiety, such as 17 (IC50 = 0.24 ± 0.02 μM) and 1 (IC50 = 0.74 ± 0.03 μM), exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity. Furthermore, literature based QSAR profiling by applying PCA and OPLS analysis was carried out to analyze the features of compounds against EcGUS, revealing that the introduction of substituents able to form polar interactions with binding sites of receptor would lead to more active structures.
