[PMID: 38816154 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to that the higher activity of nanozymes would bring outstanding performance for the nanozyme-based biosensing strategies, great efforts have been made by researchers to improve the catalytic activity of nanozymes, and novel nanozymes with high catalytic activity are desired. Considering the crucial role in controlling blood glucose level, strategies like colorimetric and chemiluminescence to monitor α-glucosidase are developed. However, multi-mode detection with higher sensitivity was insufficient. Therefore, developing triple-mode detection method for α-glucosidase based on great performance nanozyme is of great importance. RESULTS In this work, a novel nanozyme Cu-BCN was synthesized by loading Cu on boron doped carbon substrate g-C3N4 and applied to the colorimetric-fluorescent-smartphone triple-mode detection of α-glucosidase. In the presence of H2O2, Cu-BCN catalyzed the generation of 1O2 from H2O2, 1O2 subsequently oxidized TMB to blue colored oxTMB. In the presence of hydroquinone (HQ), the ROS produced from H2O2 was consumed, inhibiting the oxidation of TMB, which endows the possibility of colorimetric and visual on-site detection of HQ. Further, due to that the fluorescence of Mg-CQDs at 444 nm could be quenched by oxTMB, HQ could also be quantified through fluorescent mode. Since α-glucosidase could efficiently hydrolyze α-arbutin into HQ, the sensitive detection of α-glucosidase was realized. Further, colorimetric paper-based device (c-PAD) was fabricated for on-site α-glucosidase detection. The LODs for α-glucosidase via three modes were 2.20, 1.62 and 2.83 U/L respectively, high sensitivities were realized. SIGNIFICANCE The nanozyme Cu-BCN possesses higher peroxidase-like activity by doping boron to the substrate than non-doped Cu-CN. The proposed triple-mode detection of α-glucosidase is more sensitive than most previous reports, and is reliable when applied to practical sample. Further, the smartphone-based colorimetric paper-based analytical device (c-PAD) made of simple materials could also detect α-glucosidase sensitively. The smartphone-based on-site detection provided a convenient, instrument-free and sensitive sensing method for α-glucosidase.

Abstract
Vascular diseases (VDs) pose the leading threat worldwide due to high morbidity and mortality. The detection of VDs is commonly dependent on individual signs, which limits the accuracy and timeliness of therapies, especially for asymptomatic patients in clinical management. Therefore, more effective early diagnosis and lesion-targeted treatments remain a pressing clinical need. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials formed by the coordination of inorganic metal ions and organic ligands. Due to their unique high specific surface area, structural flexibility, and functional versatility, MOFs are recognized as highly promising candidates for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in the field of VDs. In this review, the potential of MOFs to act as biosensors, contrast agents, artificial nanozymes, and multifunctional therapeutic agents in the diagnosis and treatment of VDs from the clinical perspective, highlighting the integration between clinical methods with MOFs is generalized. At the same time, multidisciplinary cooperation from chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine to promote the substantial commercial transformation of MOFs in tackling VDs is called for.

Abstract
The construction of hybrid materials is significant for the exploration of functionalities in colorimetric biosensing due to its structural designability and synergy effects. In this work, a COF-on-MOF hybrid nanomaterial has been newly synthesized for colorimetric biosensing. Experimental results reveal that on-surface synthesis of COF on MOF brings nanoscale proximity between COF and MOF, which exhibits more than two folds of peroxidase-like activity as compared to single Fe-MOF. Therefore, by using the MCA@Fe-MOF nanomaterial with the assist of a specific acetyl-peptide, MCA@Fe-MOF can serve as an efficient signal reporter for colorimetric assay of histone deacetylase (HDAC), and the limit of detection (LOD) can be as low as 0.261 nM. Looking forward, the demand for diverse and promising COF-on-MOF nanomaterials with varied functionalities is anticipated, propelling further exploration of their role in colorimetric biosensing.

Abstract
The development of convenient, fast, and cost-effective methods for differentiating and detecting common organic pollutant phenols has become increasingly important for environmental and food safety. In this study, a copper metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) with flower-like morphology was synthesized using 2-methylimidazole (2-MI) as ligands. The Cu-MOF was designed to mimic the natural laccase active site and proved demonstrated excellent mimicry of enzyme-like activity. Leveraging the superior properties of the constructed Cu-MOF, a colorimetric method was developed for analyzing phenolic compounds. This method exhibited a wide linear range from 0.1 to 100 μM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.068 μM. Besides, by employing principal component analysis (PCA), nine kinds of phenols was successfully distinguished and identified. Moreover, the combination of smartphones with RGB profiling enabled real-time, quantitative, and high-throughput detection of phenols. Therefore, this work presents a paradigm and offers guidance for the differentiation and detection of phenolic pollutants in the environment.

Abstract
Overcoming the intrinsic low activity of most peroxidase mimics under neutral pH is crucial but still extremely challenging for the detection of disease markers in biological samples. Here, we chose nanoclay (i.e., montmorillonite K10, MK10) as a carrier to modulate the structure of Fe1-xS nanozyme components through an interfacial modulation strategy, aiming at breaking the neutral pH limitation of Fe1-xS. MK10 with abundant hydroxyl groups on its surface acts as a carrier to increase the ratio of Fe(II) and S(II-) content in surface Fe1-xS. We verify that Fe(II)-promoted surface hydroxyl radical generation and S(II-)-promoted regeneration of Fe(II) play key roles in endowing peroxidase-like activity to Fe1-xS at neutral pH. As expected, Fe1-xS/MK10 exhibited 11-fold higher Vmax and 52-fold higher catalytic efficiency than bare Fe1-xS. As a proof of concept, the sensor constructed based on Fe1-xS/MK10 achieved colorimetric detection of xanthine under neutral conditions with a linear range of 5-300 μM and a limit of detection of 2.49 μM. Finally, we achieved highly sensitive detection of xanthine in serum using the constructed biosensor. Our contribution is the novel use of a nanoclay-mediated interfacial modulation strategy for boosting the peroxidase-mimicking activity and breaking the pH limitation, which contributes to the in situ detection of disease markers by nanozymes under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes usually exhibit much lower catalytic activities, which limit the sensitivities of nanozyme-based immunoassays. Herein, several metal ions without enzyme-like activities were engineered onto Uio-66-NH2 nanozyme through postsynthetic modification. The obtained Mn+@Uio-66-NH2 (Mn+ = Zn2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Ca2+and Ni2+) exhibited improved phosphatase-like catalytic activities. In particular, a 12-fold increase in the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of Uio-66-NH2 was observed after the modification with Zn2+. Mechanism investigations indicate that both the amino groups and oxygen-containing functional groups in Uio-66-NH2 are the binding sites of Zn2+, and the modified Zn2+ ions on Uio-66-NH2 serve as the additional catalytic sites for improving the catalytic performance. Furthermore, the highly active Zn2+@Uio-66-NH2 was used as a nanozyme label to develop a fluorescence immunoassay method for the detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI). Compared with pristine Uio-66-NH2, Zn2+@Uio-66-NH2 can widen the linear range by 1 order of magnitude (from 10 pg/mL-1 μg/mL to 1 pg/mL-1 μg/mL) and also lower the detection limit by 5 times (from 4.7 pg/mL to 0.9 pg/mL).

Abstract
A copper incorporated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has been synthesized and demonstrated to be a potential material for a peroxidase mimic. The resultant bimetallic Cu-Zn incorporated MOF is used for the dual mode sensing of hydrogen peroxide by following electrochemical as well as spectrophotometric methods. Using 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) as a chromogenic substrate, spectrophotometric studies are carried out, and the steady state kinetic parameters are determined for two different concentrations of Cu incorporated ZIF-8 (viz Cu@ZIF-8-1 and Cu@ZIF-8-2). It is found that both Cu@ZIF-8-1 and Cu@ZIF-8-2 exhibit more affinity toward the TMB substrate than the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme as indicated by the low Km values obtained for the substrate. Also, as the concentration of incorporated Cu increases, Vmax values are also found to be enhanced. Electrochemically, the Cu@ZIF-8 modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) showed a good response for peroxide detection in the concentration range from 0.5 mM to 5 mM at a working potential of -0.25 V in PBS (pH 7.0) with a limit of detection (LOD) value of 0.46 mM and a sensitivity of 20.25 μA/mM. Further, the chromogenic substrate TMB is successfully immobilized on the electrode surface and subsequently used for the peroxide detection along with Cu@ZIF-8. Here, TMB acts as a mediator and shifted the working potential to 0.1 V in acetate buffer (pH 5.0) in the concentration range from 0.5 mM to 5 mM with an LOD value of 0.499 mM and a sensitivity of 0.097 μA/mM. Interestingly, the same electrode in PBS of pH 7.0 showed a response to peroxide at a working potential of -0.1 V in the concentration range from 0.5 mM to 5 mM with an LOD value of 0.143 mM and a sensitivity of 0.33 μA/mM. Moreover, the applicability of this material for peroxide sensing is evaluated using milk samples, and the proposed material is able to recover the peroxide present in milk. Thus, the bimetallic Cu-Zn MOF can be utilized for the dual mode sensing of peroxide and can be extended for various real time applications.
