Atomic engineering of single-atom nanozymes for enzyme-like catalysis

Enzyme mimics, especially nanozymes, play a crucial role in replacing natural enzymes for diverse applications related to bioanalysis, therapeutics and other enzyme-like catalysis. Nanozymes are catalytic nanomaterials with enzyme-like properties, which currently face formidable challenges with respect to their intricate structure, properties and mechanism in comparison with enzymes. The latest emergence of single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) undoubtedly promoted the nanozyme technologies to the atomic level and provided new opportunities to break through their inherent limitations. In this perspective, we discuss key aspects of SAzymes, including the advantages of the single-site structure, and the derived synergetic enhancements of enzyme-like activity, catalytic selectivity and the mechanism, as well as the superiority in biological and catalytic applications, and then highlight challenges that SAzymes face and provide relevant guidelines from our point of view for the rational design and extensive applications of SAzymes, so that SAzyme may achieve its full potential as the next-generation nanozyme.

A Self-Assembled Fmoc-Diphenylalanine Hydrogel-Encapsulated Pt Nanozyme as Oxidase- and Peroxidase-Like Breaking pH Limitation for Potential Antimicrobial Application

Nanomaterials with oxidase- and peroxidase-like activities have potential in antibacterial therapy. The optimal activity of most nanozymes occurred in acidic pH (3.0–5.0), while the pH in biological systems is mostly near neutral. Herein, a general system using 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-modified diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF) hydrogel for enhancing oxidase- and peroxidase-like activities of Pt NPs and other typical enzyme-like nanomaterials at neutral or even alkaline pH is proposed. In this system, Fmoc-FF hydrogel provides an acidic microenvironment for Pt NPs due to hydrogen protons (H⁺) produced by the dissociation of F at neutral pH. As a result, Pt NPs exhibits 6-fold enhanced oxidase-like and 26-fold peroxidase-like activity after being encapsulated into Fmoc-FF hydrogel at pH 7.0. Based on outstanding enzymatic activities and the antibacterial activity of Fmoc-FF hydrogel itself, Pt-Fmoc-FF hydrogel realizes excellent antibacterial effect. This design provides a universal strategy to break pH limitation of nanozymes and promotes the biological applications of nanozymes.
