Article Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of taurine incorporated (sulfur containing organic molecule derived from methionine and cysteine) hybrid nanoflowers (thNFs) with an intrinsic peroxidase-mimic and antimicrobial activities in the presence of HO. Formation of thNFs using non-enzyme molecules was for the first time and systematically studied as a function of the taurine concentration, types of metal ions (Cu, Fe and Fe) and pH values of reaction solution. The peroxidase like activities of thNFs rely on Fenton-like reaction against guaiacol used as a model substrate. The efficiency of Fenton reaction can be attributed to porous structure and presence of ions of transition elements in the thNFs. The thNFs were further characterized using FTIR, XRD, SEM and EDX. The thNFs also showed remarkable antimicrobial properties against S. aureus, E. coli, B. cereus and C. albicans. We claim that nonprotein-based NFs can be considered as new generation nano-biocatalysts as an alternative to enzymes and can be used in various medicinal, biochemical, immunological, biotechnological, and industrial applications.

We report the formation of colchicine-Cu(PO) hybrid nanoflowers (Colc-NFs) with intrinsic catalytic and antimicrobial activities with and without hydrogen peroxide (HO). While the colchicine molecule, known as a secondary metabolite with anti-inflammatory properties, was used as an organic part of Colc-NFs, the Cu ion acted as an inorganic part of Colc-NFs. The acetamide group in the colchicine structure may react with Cu ions in phosphate-buffered saline to form Colc-NFs.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used as substrates for creating single-atom catalysts due to their abundance of ligands, facilitating enzyme-like activity for biomedical applications. However, the high-temperature calcination process for single-atom catalysts limits economical, efficient, and large-scale synthesis. Here, a simple room-temperature synthesis of MOF-based single-atom and metal cluster catalysts is presented for tumor therapy.

Kanamycin (KAN) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic employed for the treatment of bacterial infections in livestock and poultry and is widely used as a veterinary drug in animal husbandry. Its overuse poses serious threats to public health and ecosystems; while traditional detection methods cannot meet the requirements of widespread application and rapid detection, developing rapid and reliable technology for KAN detection is essential. In this study, a colorimetric aptasensor was developed to rapidly detect KAN residues, leveraging the enhanced catalytic effect of aptamers on the peroxidase-like activity of the CuO/hemin-graphene oxide (CuO/hemin-GO) nanozyme.

Although cascade strategy based on starvation therapy and nanozymes synergistic therapy has shown its unique advantages in tumor treatment, the relatively large size of integrated nanoplatform and protective autophagy greatly reduces the therapeutic effects. Herein, we report an ultra-small cascade nanozyme for enhanced synergistic cancer therapy by using glucose oxidase (GOx) capped gold nanoclusters (AuNCs@GOx). The constructed AuNCs@GOx integrates starvation therapy, chemo-dynamic therapy (CDT) and autophagy modulation, which realizes efficient tumor treatment.

The bifunctions of fluorescence activity and peroxidase mimics were well-integrated by a hemin chloride-modified Zr-based metal-organic framework (Hemin@NH-UiO-66), which can catalyze the oxidation of -phenylenediamine (OPD) to generate 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP), presenting typical peroxidase mimic properties. The influence of the introduction of hemin chloride upon the enhanced peroxidase mimic activity was clarified, and the nanozyme catalytic parameters were optimized. Interestingly, the oxidized product of DAP presents strong fluorescence emission at 564 nm; combining it with the intrinsic fluorescence emission of NH-UiO-66 at 452 nm, a dual-emission system could be built up by the resulting Hemin@NH-UiO-66 in the presence of definite OPD and HO.
