Abstract
Developing synthetic materials, with enzyme-like molecular recognition capabilities, as functional receptors in electronic or electrochemical devices for the timely diagnosis of major diseases is a great challenge. Herein, we present the development of Fe/MIPpy nanozymes, characterized as enzyme-like artificial receptors, for the precise and non-invasive monitoring of cancer biomarkers in aqueous solutions and human saliva. Through the integration of PVA-stabilized FeFe2O4 nanocrystals in a molecularly imprinted conducting polypyrrole matrix, the Fe/MIPpy nanozymes demonstrate 424 nA cm-2 nM-1 sensitivity and 220 pM detection limit. Charge-transfer mechanisms, Fe/MIPpy-spermine interactions, and the principle of spermine recognition are investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The disposable Fe/MIPpy sensor operates wirelessly and offers rapid and remote quantification of spermine, making it a promising material for the development of cost-effective tools for non-invasive cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
The long-term objective in the field of heterogeneous catalysis is to develop an enzyme-like catalytic pathway that can achieve exceptional catalytic performance even at low temperatures. Herein, we have demonstrated a heterogeneous oxidase-type catalysis on the ZnO-supported Ru clusters (Ru/ZnO) for efficient H2 generation from an aqueous solution of formaldehyde (HCHO) at low temperatures. Due to its unique reaction pathway, the Ru/ZnO catalysts exhibited a temperature-insensitive activity for H2 generation at the temperature of 15 to 45 °C. Remarkably, even at a low temperature of 5 °C, the Ru/ZnO catalysts still enabled an H2 generation rate of 13.8 mmol gcat-1 h-1 with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 1678 h-1. Additionally, instead of producing a CO2/CO molecule, the HCHO molecule underwent a transformation into formic acid and/or formate as the byproduct. This finding presents a novel class of heterogeneous catalysts to expand the potential application scenarios of liquid hydrogen storage and transportation systems.

Metal oxide nanomaterials based electrochemical and optical biosensors for biomedical applications: Recent advances and future prospectives. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 247:118002. [PMID: 38151147 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.118002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
The amalgamation of nanostructures with modern electrochemical and optical techniques gave rise to interesting devices, so-called biosensors. A biosensor is an analytical tool that incorporates various biomolecules with an appropriate physicochemical transducer. Over the past few years, metal oxide nanomaterials (MONMs) have significantly stimulated biosensing research due to their desired functionalities, versatile chemical stability, and low cost along with their unique optical, catalytic, electrical, and adsorption properties that provide an attractive platform for linking the biomolecules, for example, antibodies, nucleic acids, enzymes, and receptor proteins as sensing elements with the transducer for the detection of signals or signal amplifications. The signals to be measured are in direct proportionate to the concentration of the bioanalyte. Because of their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, portability, quick analysis, higher sensitivity, and selectivity against a broad range of biosamples, MONMs-based electrochemical and optical biosensing platforms are exhaustively explored as powerful early-diagnosis tools for point of care applications. Herein, we made a bibliometric analysis of past twenty years (2004-2023) on the application of MONMs as electrochemical and optical biosensing units using Web of Science database and the results of which clearly reveal the increasing number of publications since 2004. Geographical area distribution analysis of these publications shows that China tops the list followed by the United States of America and India. In this review, we first describe the electrochemical and optical properties of MONMs that are crucial for the creation of extremely stable, specific, and sensitive sensors with desirable characteristics. Then, the biomedical applications of MONMs-based bare and hybrid electrochemical and optical biosensing frameworks are highlighted in the light of recent literature. Finally, current limitations and future challenges in the field of biosensing technology are addressed.

Abstract
Although nanozymes have drawn great attention over the past decade, the activities of peroxidase-like, oxidase-like, and catalase-like nanozymes are often pH dependent with elusive mechanism, which largely restricts their application. Therefore, a systematical discussion on the pH-related catalytic mechanisms of nanozymes together with the methods to overcome this limitation is in need. In this review, various nanozymes exhibiting pH-dependent catalytic activities are collected and the root causes for their pH dependence are comprehensively analyzed. Subsequently, regulatory concepts including catalytic environment reconstruction and direct catalytic activity improvement to break this pH restriction are summarized. Moreover, applications of pH-independent nanozymes in sensing, disease therapy, and pollutant degradation are overviewed. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities on the development of pH-independent nanozymes are suggested. It is anticipated that this review will promote the further design of pH-independent nanozymes and broaden their application range with higher efficiency.

Abstract
Surface plasmons, continuous and cumulative electron vibrations confined to metal-dielectric interfaces, play a pivotal role in aggregating optical fields and energies on nanostructures. This confinement exploits the intrinsic subwavelength nature of their spatial profile, significantly enhancing light-matter interactions. Metals, semiconductors, and 2D materials exhibit plasmonic resonances at diverse wavelengths, spanning from ultraviolet (UV) to far infrared, dictated by their unique properties and structures. Surface plasmons offer a platform for various light-matter interaction mechanisms, capitalizing on the orders-of-magnitude enhancement of the electromagnetic field within plasmonic structures. This enhancement has been substantiated through theoretical, computational, and experimental studies. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the plasmon-enhanced processes on metallic and metamaterial-based sensors, considering factors such as geometrical influences, resonating wavelengths, chemical properties, and computational methods. Our exploration extends to practical applications, encompassing localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based planar waveguides, polymer-based biochip sensors, and LSPR-based fiber sensors. Ultimately, we aim to provide insights and guidelines for the development of next-generation, high-performance plasmonic technological devices.

Abstract
Immunochromatographic assays (ICAs) have been widely used in the field detection of mycotoxin contaminants. Nevertheless, the lack of multisignal readout capability and the ability of signaling tags to maintain their biological activity while efficiently loading antibodies remain a great challenge in satisfying diverse testing demands. Herein, we proposed a novel three-in-one multifunctional hollow vanadium nanomicrosphere (high brightness-catalytic-photothermal properties)-mediated triple-readout ICA (VHMS-ICA) for sensitive detection of T-2. As the key to this biosensing strategy, vanadium was used as the catalytic-photothermal characterization center, and natural polyphenols were utilized as the bridging ligands for coupling with the antibody while self-assembling with formaldehyde cross-linking into a hollow nanocage-like structure, which offers the possibility of realizing a three-signal readout strategy and improving the coupling efficiency to the antibody while preserving its biological activity. The constructed sensors showed a detection limit (LOD) of 2 pg/mL for T-2, which was about 345-fold higher than that of conventional gold nanoparticle-based ICA (0.596 ng/mL). As anticipated, the detection range of VHMS-ICA was extended about 8-fold compared with the colorimetric signal alone. Ultimately, the proposed immunosensor performed well in maize and oat samples, with satisfactory recoveries. Owing to the synergistic and complementary interactions between distinct signaling modes, the establishment of multimodal immunosensors with multifunctional tags is an efficient strategy to satisfy diversified detection demands.

Abstract
The iron nanozyme-based colorimetric method, which is widely applied for biosubstrate detection in in vitro diagnosis (IVD), faces some limitations. The optimal catalytic conditions of iron nanozymes necessitate a strong acidic environment, high temperature, and other restrictive factors; additionally, the colorimetric results are highly influenced by optical interferences. To address these challenges, iron nanozymes doped with various transition elements were efficiently prepared in this study, and notably, the manganese-modified one displayed a high catalytic activity owing to its electron transfer property. Furthermore, the introduction of lanthanide ions into the catalytic reactions, specifically the neodymium ion, significantly boosted the generation efficiency of hydroxyl radicals; importantly, this enhancement extended to a wide range of pH levels and temperatures, amplifying the detection signal. Moreover, the nanozyme's superparamagnetic characteristic was also employed to perform a logical optical and magnetic resonance dual-modality detection for substrates, effectively eliminating background optical interference and ensuring a reliable verification of the signal's authenticity. Based on this magnetic signal, the integration of natural glucose oxidase with the nanozyme resulted in a notable 61.5% increase in detection sensitivity, surpassing the capabilities of the traditional colorimetric approach. Consequently, the incorporation of lanthanide ions into the magnetic nanozyme enables the effective identification of physiological biomarkers through the dual-modality signal. This not only guarantees enhanced sensitivity but also demonstrates significant potential for future applications.

Abstract
Metal single-atom catalysts (MSACs) possess multiple advantages in chemical synthesis; their efficient fabrication routes, however, remain a challenge to date. Here, an interdisciplinary design using M13 bacteriophage virus as a biotemplate to carry Fe nanoclusters, which we figuratively call "Fe-nanonests", is proposed to enable facile and versatile synthesis of MSACs. The feasibility and generality of this self-assembly method was demonstrated by the observation of six different metal single atoms (MSAs) including Ag, Pt, Pd, Zn, Cu, and Ni. With Pd as a representative, key factors dominating the fabrication were determined. The Pd single atoms exhibited excellent horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-like activity, which was further improved by 50% via genetic editing of the M13 pVIII protein terminals. Excellent stability was also observed in the quantification of acid phosphatase, a cancer predictor. X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy has been applied to the analysis of Pd single atoms as well, and the Pd-N4 coordination explained the mechanism of high HRP-like catalytic activity. The MSAs synthesized by the M13 phage and Fe-nanonest self-assembly method show promising prospects in non-cold-chain medical detection applications.

Abstract
Fe3C nanoparticles hold promise as catalysts and nanozymes, but their low activity and complex preparation have hindered their use. Herein, this study presents a synthetic alternative toward efficient, durable, and recyclable, Fe3C-nanoparticle-encapsulated nitrogen-doped hierarchically porous carbon membranes (Fe3C/N-C). By employing a simple one-step synthetic method, we utilized wood as a renewable and environmentally friendly carbon precursor, coupled with poly(ionic liquids) as a nitrogen and iron source. This innovative strategy offers sustainable, high-performance catalysts with improved stability and reusability. The Fe3C/N-C exhibits an outstanding peroxidase-like catalytic activity toward the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, which stems from well-dispersed, small Fe3C nanoparticles jointly with the structurally unique micro-/macroporous N-C membrane. Owing to the remarkable catalytic activity for mimicking peroxidase, an efficient and sensitive colorimetric method for detecting ascorbic acid over a broad concentration range with a low limit of detection (~2.64 µM), as well as superior selectivity, and anti-interference capability has been developed. This study offers a widely adaptable and sustainable way to synthesize an Fe3C/N-C membrane as an easy-to-handle, convenient, and recoverable biomimetic enzyme with excellent catalytic performance, providing a convenient and sensitive colorimetric technique for potential applications in medicine, biosensing, and environmental fields.

Abstract
Colorimetric analysis for mercury detection has great application potential in the prevention of health damage caused by mercury in the environment. Sensitivity, selectivity, and portability are core competencies of sensors, and concentrating these properties in a single sensor for efficient mercury detection remains a great challenge. Herein, a hollow structure CuS@CuSe@PVP (CCP) was prepared in which the enzyme-like activities could be activated by Hg2+ due to the antagonism between Hg and Se, inspiring the establishment of a colorimetric method for Hg2+ detection. As for Hg2+ detection performance, the linear range (LR) and limit of detection (LOD) were 1-900 and 0.81 nM in the POD-like activity system, respectively. Also, 5-550 nM of LR and 2.34 nM of LOD were achieved in the OD-like activity system. Further, a smartphone-mediated portable RGB nanosensor was fabricated, with a LOD down to 6.65 nM in the POD-like system and 7.97 nM in the OD-like system. Moreover, the excellent self-calibration and satisfactory recovery of 94.77%-106.16% were shown in the application of real water samples analysis. This study represented advanced progress toward emerging applications of nanozymes with multiple enzyme-like activities in heavy metal detection and will accelerate the development of efficient and portable heavy metal sensors.

Since 1970, many artificial enzymes that imitate the activity and structure of natural enzymes have been discovered. Nanozymes are a group of nanomaterials with enzyme-mimetic properties capable of catalyzing natural enzyme processes. Nanozymes have attracted great interest in biomedicine due to their excellent stability, rapid reactivity, and affordable cost. The enzyme-mimetic activities of nanozymes may be modulated by numerous parameters, including the oxidative state of metal ions, pH, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) level, and glutathione (GSH) concentration, indicating the tremendous potential for biological applications. This article delivers a comprehensive overview of the advances in the knowledge of nanozymes and the creation of unique and multifunctional nanozymes, and their biological applications. In addition, a future perspective of employing the as-designed nanozymes in biomedical and diagnostic applications is provided, and we also discuss the barriers and constraints for their further therapeutic use.

Abstract
Serving as the interface between fetal and maternal circulation, the placenta plays a critical role in fetal growth and development. Placental exosomes are small membrane-bound extracellular vesicles released by the placenta during pregnancy. They contain a variety of biomolecules, including lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, which can potentially be biomarkers of maternal diseases. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated the utility of placental exosomes for the diagnosis and monitoring of pathological conditions such as pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes. This suggests that placental exosomes may serve as new biomarkers in liquid biopsy analysis. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of the biological function of placental exosomes and their potential as biomarkers of maternal diseases. Additionally, this review highlights current barriers and the way forward for standardization and validation of known techniques for exosome isolation, characterization, and detection. Finally, microfluidic devices for exosome research are discussed.

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
Whole blood, as one of the most significant biological fluids, provides critical information for health management and disease monitoring. Over the past 10 years, advances in nanotechnology, microfluidics, and biomarker research have spurred the development of powerful miniaturized diagnostic systems for whole blood testing toward the goal of disease monitoring and treatment. Among the techniques employed for whole-blood diagnostics, electrochemical biosensors, as known to be rapid, sensitive, capable of miniaturization, reagentless and washing free, become a class of emerging technology to achieve the target detection specifically and directly in complex media, e.g., whole blood or even in the living body. Here we are aiming to provide a comprehensive review to summarize advances over the past decade in the development of electrochemical sensors for whole blood analysis. Further, we address the remaining challenges and opportunities to integrate electrochemical sensing platforms.

Abstract
Gold nanozymes (GNZs) have been widely used in biosensing and bioassay due to their interesting catalytic activities that enable the substitution of natural enzyme. This review explains different catalytic activities of GNZs that can be achieved by applying different modifications to their surface. The role of Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in mimicking oxidoreductase, helicase, phosphatase were introduced. Moreover, the effect of surface properties and modifications on each catalytic activity was thoroughly discussed. The application of GNZs in biosensing and bioassay was classified in five categories based on the combination of the enzyme like activities and enhancing/inhibition of the catalytic activities in presence of the target analyte/s that is realized by proper surface modification engineering. These categories include catalytic activity enhancer, reversible catalytic activity inhibitor, binding selectivity enhancer, agglomeration base, and multienzyme like activity, which are explained and exemplified in this review. It also gives examples of those modifications that enable the application of GNZs for in vivo biosensing and bioassays.

Abstract
Construction of a well-defined mesoporous nanostructure is crucial for applying nonnoble metals in catalysis and biomedicine owing to their highly exposed active sites and accessible surfaces. However, it remains a great challenge to controllably synthesize superparamagnetic CoFe-based mesoporous nanospheres with tunable compositions and exposed large pores, which are sought for immobilization or adsorption of guest molecules for magnetic capture, isolation, preconcentration, and purification. Herein, a facile assembly strategy of a block copolymer was developed to fabricate a mesoporous CoFeB amorphous alloy with abundant metallic Co/Fe atoms, which served as an ideal scaffold for well-dispersed loading of Au nanoparticles (∼3.1 nm) via the galvanic replacement reaction. The prepared Au-CoFeB possessed high saturation magnetization as well as uniform and large open mesopores (∼12.5 nm), which provided ample accessibility to biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, enzymes, proteins, and antibodies. Through this distinctive combination of superparamagnetism (CoFeB) and biofavorability (Au), the resulting Au-CoFeB was employed as a dispersible nanovehicle for the direct capture and isolation of p53 autoantibody from serum samples. Highly sensitive detection of the autoantibody was achieved with a limit of detection of 0.006 U/mL, which was 50 times lower than that of the conventional p53-ELISA kit-based detection system. Our assay is capable of quantifying differential expression patterns for detecting p53 autoantibodies in ovarian cancer patients. This assay provides a rapid, inexpensive, and portable platform with the potential to detect a wide range of clinically relevant protein biomarkers.

Abstract
A recyclable peroxidase mimic Fe3O4@polydopamine/Prussian blue (Fe3O4@PDA/PB) composite was facilely prepared by coating PDA on an Fe3O4 nanoparticle core and in situ growth of PB nanoparticles on a PDA shell. The prepared Fe3O4@PDA/PB composite exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity and can catalytically oxidize the colorless colorimetric substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into a blue colored product in the presence of H2O2 at 30 °C in 1 min. The catalytic mechanism was deduced to be the nanozyme-promoted generation of a hydroxyl radical (·OH), and the catalytic behavior followed the typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Based on Cr(VI)-boosted peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4@PDA/PB, a simple and fast colorimetric method for detection of Cr(VI) was developed. Under the optimum conditions, the colorimetric method exhibited wider linear range (100 nM to 140 μM), low LOD (51.1 nM), good selectivity and short detection time (1 min). Moreover, the feasibility of the proposed colorimetric method was evaluated by determination of Cr(VI) in spiked tap water and lake water samples. Good recoveries (95.2-102.9%) and low relative standard deviations (RSDs) (1.6-4.4%) were obtained, showing great promise for practical use.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanostructured artificial enzymes that have attracted great attention among researchers because of their ability to mimic relevant biological reactions carried out by their natural counterparts, but with the capability to overcome natural enzymes’ drawbacks such as low thermostability or narrow substrate scope. The promising enzyme-like properties of these systems make nanozymes excellent candidates for innovative solutions in different scientific fields such as analytical chemistry, catalysis or medicine. Thus, nanozymes with different type of activities are of special interest owing to their versatility since they can reproduce several biological reactions according to the substrates and the environmental conditions. In this context, gold-based nanozymes are a representative example of multifunctional structures that can perform a great number of enzyme-like activities. In addition, the combination of gold-based materials with structures of organic and inorganic chemical nature yields even more powerful hybrid nanozymes, which enhance their activity by providing improved features. This review will carry out a deep insight into gold-based nanozymes, revisiting not only the different type of biological enzymatic reactions that can be achieved with these kinds of systems, but also structural features of some of the most relevant hybrid gold-based nanozymes described in the literature. This literature review will also provide a representative picture of the potential of these structures to solve future technological challenges.

Abstract
Emerging metal-organic framework (MOF)-based mimic enzymes have been exploited to design a colorimetric sensor for the detection of biomolecules. However, it is challenging to figure out the glutathione (GSH) detection method and the corresponding sensing mechanism using an MOF-based colorimetric sensor. In this work, a novel iron-copper MOF with high activity is synthesized by a wet-chemical method. A GSH colorimetric sensor based on the peroxidase-like properties of the iron-copper MOF is developed. Hydrogen peroxide is converted to hydroxyl radicals by the peroxidase-like properties of the iron-copper MOF mimic enzyme, which can catalyze the colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxidized TMB (ox-TMB). The kinetic constant of the MOF mimic enzyme (0.02 mM for H2O2) is superior to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The GSH content can be quantified by proposing a sensor based on the colorimetric method and color turn-off mechanism. The turn-off mechanism of GSH analysis includes two aspects. On the one hand, the blue ox-TMB can be deoxidized to colorless TMB by GSH. On the other hand, hydroxyl radicals (•OH) can be consumed by GSH. The linear range and limit of detection are 2-20 and 0.439 μM, respectively. At the same time, GSH detection also shows good specificity and anti-interference characteristics. Therefore, MOF-based colorimetric sensors have been used to qualitatively and quantitatively measure GSH contents in human serum. The mechanism and application of the iron-copper MOF pave a way for the development of mimic enzymes with polymetallic active sites in the field of colorimetric sensing.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and is a substantial public health problem. Screening for breast cancer mainly relies on mammography, which leads to false positives and missed diagnoses and is especially non-sensitive for patients with small tumors and dense breasts. The prognosis of breast cancer is mainly classified by tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging, but this method does not consider the molecular characteristics of the tumor. As the product of the immune response to tumor-associated antigens, autoantibodies can be detected in peripheral blood and can be used as noninvasive, presymptomatic, and low-cost biomarkers. Therefore, autoantibodies can provide a possible supplementary method for breast cancer screening and prognosis classification. This article introduces the methods used to detect peripheral blood autoantibodies and the research progress in the screening and prognosis of breast cancer made in recent years to provide a potential direction for the examination and treatment of breast cancer.

[PMID: 36354462 PMCID: PMC9687741 DOI: 10.3390/bios12110954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors generally require the immobilization of recognition elements or capture probes on the electrode surface. This may limit their practical applications due to the complex operation procedure and low repeatability and stability. Magnetically assisted biosensors show remarkable advantages in separation and pre-concentration of targets from complex biological samples. More importantly, magnetically assisted sensing systems show high throughput since the magnetic materials can be produced and preserved on a large scale. In this work, we summarized the design of electrochemical biosensors involving magnetic materials as the platforms for recognition reaction and target conversion. The recognition reactions usually include antigen-antibody, DNA hybridization, and aptamer-target interactions. By conjugating an electroactive probe to biomolecules attached to magnetic materials, the complexes can be accumulated near to an electrode surface with the aid of external magnet field, producing an easily measurable redox current. The redox current can be further enhanced by enzymes, nanomaterials, DNA assemblies, and thermal-cycle or isothermal amplification. In magnetically assisted assays, the magnetic substrates are removed by a magnet after the target conversion, and the signal can be monitored through stimuli-response release of signal reporters, enzymatic production of electroactive species, or target-induced generation of messenger DNA.

Abstract
Great enthusiasm in single-atom catalysts for various catalytic reactions continues to heat up. However, the poor activity of the existing single/dual-metal-atom catalysts does not meet the actual requirement. In this scenario, the precise design of triple-metal-atom catalysts is vital but still challenging. Here, a triple-atom site catalyst of FeCoZn catalyst coordinated with S and N, which is doped in the carbon matrix (named FeCoZn-TAC/SNC), is designed. The FeCoZn catalyst can mimic the activity of oxidase by activating O2 into •O2- radicals by virtue of its atomically dispersed metal active sites. Employing this characteristic, triple-atom catalysts can become a great driving force for the development of novel biosensors featuring adequate sensitivity. First, the property of FeCoZn catalyst as an oxidase-like nanozyme was explored. The obtained FeCoZn-TAC/SNC shows remarkably enhanced catalytic performance than that of FeCoZn-TAC/NC and single/dual-atom site catalysts (FeZn, CoZn, FeCo-DAC/NC and Fe, Zn, Co-SAC/NC) because of trimetallic sites, demonstrating the synergistic effect. Further, the utility of the oxidase-like FeCoZn-TAC/SNC in biosensor field is evaluated by the colorimetric sensing of ascorbic acid. The nanozyme sensor shows a wide concentration range from 0.01 to 90 μM and an excellent detection limit of 6.24 nM. The applicability of the nanozyme sensor in biologically relevant detection was further proved in serum. The implementation of TAC in colorimetric detection holds vast promise for further development of biomedical research and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The integration of nanoarchitectonics and hydrogel into conventional biosensing platforms offers the opportunities to design physically and chemically controlled and optimized soft structures with superior biocompatibility, better immobilization of biomolecules, and specific and sensitive biosensor design. The physical and chemical properties of 3D hydrogel structures can be modified by integrating with nanostructures. Such modifications can enhance their responsiveness to mechanical, optical, thermal, magnetic, and electric stimuli, which in turn can enhance the practicality of biosensors in clinical settings. This review describes the synthesis and kinetics of gel networks and exploitation of nanostructure-integrated hydrogels in biosensing. With an emphasis on different integration strategies of hydrogel with nanostructures, this review highlights the importance of hydrogel nanostructures as one of the most favorable candidates for developing ultrasensitive biosensors. Moreover, hydrogel nanoarchitectonics are also portrayed as a promising candidate for fabricating next-generation robust biosensors.

Abstract
Nanozymes featuring with favorable activity, good stability and easy scale-up production, are promising to replace natural enzymes for various applications. However, it remains a challenge to explore the cascade reactions of multi-enzyme mimics, aiming at synergistic catalysis for various applications. Herein, vanadium nitride nanoparticles deposited on carbon nanofibers (VN@CNFs) composite was facilely prepared by typical electrospinning route with subsequently ammonia reduction process. The nanocomposite showed excellent peroxidase (POD)-like and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities. Additionally, their catalytic mechanisms were systematically researched. Coupling of SOD-like with POD-like as cascade enzyme, a selective and sensitive colorimetric detection of superoxide anion (O2•-) was explored, which has two linear parts, 0.05-30 μM and 30-250 μM O2•- with the LOD of 0.0167 μM (S/N = 3). The as-proposed method was applicable to practical samples detection with satisfactory accuracy and recovery. Therefore, the VN@CNFs composite shows great prospect in biosensing, superoxide anion removal and biocatalysis.

Abstract
The hybrid coupling of biocatalysts and chemical catalysts plays a vital role in the fields of catalysis, sensing, and medical treatment due to the integrated advantages in the high activity of natural enzymes and the excellent stability of nanozymes. Herein, a new nanozyme/natural enzyme hybrid biosensor was established for ultrasensitive glutamate detection. The MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2 material with remarkable peroxidase mimic activity and stability was used as a nanozyme and carrier for immobilizing glutamate oxidase (GLOX) through Schiff base reaction to construct a chem-enzyme cascade detector (MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2@GLOX). The resultant MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2@GLOX exhibited a wide linear range (1-100 μM), with a low detection limit of 2.5 μM for glutamate detection. Furthermore, the MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2@GLOX displayed excellent reusability and storage stability. After repeated seven cycles, MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2-GLOX (GLOX was adsorbed on MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2) lost most of its activity, whereas MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2@GLOX still retained 69% of its initial activity. Meanwhile, MIL-88B(Fe)-NH2@GLOX maintained 60% of its initial activity after storage for 90 days, while free GLOX only retained 30% of its initial activity. This strategy of integrating MOF mimics and natural enzymes for cascade catalysis makes it possible to design an efficient and stable chemo-enzyme composite catalysts, which are promising for applications in biosensing and biomimetic catalysis.

Abstract
Enzyme-like nanomaterials have received significant attention for their high stability and low cost. However, most nanomaterials require complicated synthesis processes, limiting the range of their potential applications. In this study, a novel cerium-based nanomaterial was fabricated in a facile manner from a mixture of dipicolinic acid (DPA), guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP), and cerium acetate under ambient conditions. The obtained nanomaterial, designated as DPA-Ce-GMP, exhibited superior oxidase-like activity owing to the mixed valence (Ce3+/Ce4+) of cerium ions. DPA-Ce-GMP efficiently catalyzed the oxidation of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), achieving a color reaction without requiring hydrogen peroxide. Thus, DPA-Ce-GMP was incorporated into a simple, rapid, and sensitive colorimetric sensor for glutathione (GSH) detection. Within this sensor, TMB oxidation is inhibited by the reducibility of GSH. The sensor exhibits a linear response over two concentration ranges (0.05-10 and 10-40 μM), and its detection limit is 17.1 nM (3σ/slope). The proposed sensor was successfully applied to GSH quantification in food samples. The developed sensor provides an efficient biomimic oxidase for GSH detection in real samples. Facile approach to prepare cerium-based nanomaterial with superior oxidase-like activity for colorimetric detection of glutathione in food samples.

Abstract
The increasing use of nanomaterials and scalable, high-yield nanofabrication process are revolutionizing the development of novel biosensors. Over the past decades, researches on nanotechnology-mediated biosensing have been on the forefront due to their potential application in healthcare, pharmaceutical, cell diagnosis, drug delivery, and water and air quality monitoring. The advancement of nanoscale science relies on a better understanding of theory, manufacturing and fabrication practices, and the application specific methods. The topology and tunable properties of nanoparticles, a part of nanoscale science, can be changed by different manufacturing processes, which separate them from their bulk counterparts. In the recent past, different nanostructures, such as nanosphere, nanorods, nanofiber, core-shell nanoparticles, nanotubes, and thin films, have been exploited to enhance the detectability of labelled or label-free biological molecules with a high accuracy. Furthermore, these engineered-materials-associated transducing devices, e.g., optical waveguides and metasurface-based scattering media, widened the horizon of biosensors over a broad wavelength range from deep-ultraviolet to far-infrared. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the major scientific achievements in nano-biosensors based on optical fiber, nanomaterials and terahertz-domain metasurface-based refractometric, labelled and label-free nano-biosensors.

Abstract
Nanozymes are a kind of nanomaterial mimicking enzyme catalytic activity, which has aroused extensive interest in the fields of biosensors, biomedicine, and climate and ecosystems management. However, due to the complexity of structures and composition of nanozymes, atomic scale active centers have been extensively investigated, which helps with in-depth understanding of the nature of the biocatalysis. Single atom nanozymes (SANs) cannot only significantly enhance the activity of nanozymes but also effectively improve the selectivity of nanozymes owing to the characteristics of simple and adjustable coordination environment and have been becoming the brightest star in the nanozyme spectrum. The SANs based sensors have also been widely investigated due to their definite structural features, which can be helpful to study the catalytic mechanism and provide ways to improve catalytic activity. This perspective presents a comprehensive understanding on the advances and challenges on SANs based sensors. The catalytic mechanisms of SANs and then the sensing application from the perspectives of sensing technology and sensor construction are thoroughly analyzed. Finally, the major challenges, potential future research directions, and prospects for further research on SANs based sensors are also proposed.

Abstract
Mechanism research of nanozymes has always been of great interest since their emergence as outstanding mimics of friable natural enzymes. An important but rarely mentioned issue in mechanism research of nanozymology is the inhibitory effect of nanozymes. And conventional nanozymes with various active sites hinder the mechanism research, while single-atom Fe–N–C nanozymes with similar active sites to natural enzymes exhibit structural advantages. Herein, we synthesized Fe single-atom nanozymes (Fe-SANs) with ultrahigh oxidase-like activity and found that a common analgesic-antipyretic drug 4-acetamidophenol (AMP) had inhibitory effects for the oxidase-like activity of Fe-SANs. We investigated the inhibitory effects in detail and demonstrated that the inhibition type was reversible mixed-inhibition with inhibition constants (Ki and ) of 0.431 mM and 0.279 mM, respectively. Furthermore, we put forward a colorimetric method for AMP detection based on nanozyme inhibition. The research on the inhibitory effects of small molecules on nanozymes expands the scope of analysis based on nanozymes and the inhibition mechanism study may offer some insight into investigating the interaction between nanozymes and inhibitors.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted extensive attention for the development of colorimetric detection methods due to their ease of modification and high density of active sites. However, most of the reported colorimetric sensors based on MOFs show only a single nanozyme activity. Herein, the bifunctional enzyme activities of a hexagonal prism Cu MOF with fumaric acid as the ligand (Cu FMA), namely laccase-like activity under alkaline conditions (pH = 8) and peroxidase-like activity under acidic conditions (pH = 4), were verified. The specificity of Cu FMA at different pH values may be due to the presence of the Cu+ active center introduced by the weak reducibility of FMA. At pH = 8, Cu+ active centers are beneficial for dissociating the H-O bonds of phenolic compounds for the laccase system. In contrast, the dissociation of H-O is weakened at pH = 4, which prompts the breaking of the O-O bonds of H2O2 as a Fenton-like reaction for the peroxidase system. Based on the dual enzyme activities, Cu FMA sensors exhibit outstanding detectability for epinephrine and glucose with linear ranges of 2.7-54.6 μM and 0.01-0.8 mM and detection limits of 1.1 μM and 2.28 × 10-7 M, respectively. The Cu FMA colorimetric sensor can be applied for detecting and measuring glucose and epinephrine in human serum samples. This work paves the way for Cu MOFs to be used as the basis for rational regulation of the activity of dual nanozymes and for multifunctional applications under completely independent conditions.

Abstract
Nanozymes have emerged as a fascinating nanomaterial with enzyme-like characteristics for addressing the limitations of natural enzymes. Nevertheless, how to improve the relatively low catalytic activity still remains challenging. Herein, a facile recrystallizing salt template-assisted chemical vapor deposition method was utilized to synthesize MoSe2/PCN heterostructures. This heterostructure displays remarkably enhanced light boosting peroxidase-like activities. Notably, the maximal reaction velocity of this heterostructure attains 17.81 and 86.89 μM min-1 [for o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and 3,3'5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), respectively]. Moreover, various characterization means were performed to explore the mechanism deeply. It is worth mentioning that the photoinduced electrons generated by the heterostructure directly react with H2O2 to yield plentiful •OH for the effective oxidation of OPD and TMB. Therefore, this work offers a promising approach for improving peroxidase-like activity by light stimulation and actuating the development of enzyme-based applications.

Abstract
Food analysis based on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is simple, sensitive and rapid, but requires a costly colorimetric instrument. The aim of this work was to develop a portable, low-cost and user-friendly colorimetric instrument for colorimetric ELISA and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) detection. The principle of the developed instrument was employing a light-emitting diode to generate the signal light and using a light-dependent resistor to measure the signal light absorbed by the oxidized 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl benzidine. The absorption spectra revealed that the solution absorbed signal light more strongly after reaction with H2SO4, and blue light would be favorably absorbed. Evaluations on the stability and accuracy of the instrument and interference from ambient light showed that the fabricated instrument was stable, accurate, capable of quantitative detection and insensitive to ambient light changes. In addition, this instrument is user-friendly since it could calculate and report the final amount of AFB1 to the operator. Measurements of maize and peanuts showed that the instrument provided as accurate results as the professional equipment. With the low fabrication cost (about RMB 129 or USD 20), portability, and user-friendliness, this instrument presents attractive potential in the rapid detection of AFB1.

Abstract
Exosomes have been considered as high-quality biomarkers for disease diagnosis, as they are secreted by cells into extracellular environments as nanovesicles with rich and unique molecular information, and can be isolated and enriched from clinical samples. However, most existing exosome assays, to date, require time-consuming isolation and purification procedures; the detection specificity and sensitivity are also in need of improvement for the realization of exosome-based disease diagnostics. This paper reports a unique exosome assay technology that enables completing both magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-based exosome extraction and high-sensitivity photonic crystal (PC)-based label-free exosome detection in a single miniature vessel within one hour, while providing an improved sensitivity and selectivity. High specificity of the assay to membrane antigens is realized by functionalizing both the MNPs and the PC with specific antibodies. A low limit of detection on the order of 107 exosome particles per milliliter (volume) is achieved because the conjugated MNP-exosome nanocomplexes offer a larger index change on the PC surface, compared to the exosomes alone without using MNPs. Briefly, the single-step exosome assay involves (i) forming specific MNP-exosome nanocomplexes to enrich exosomes from complex samples directly on the PC surface at the bottom of the vessel, with a >500 enrichment factor, and (ii) subsequently, performing in situ quantification of the nanocomplexes using the PC biosensor. The present exosome assay method is validated in analyzing multiple membrane proteins of exosomes derived from murine macrophage cells with high selectivity and sensitivity, while requiring only about one hour. This assay technology will provide great potential for exosome-based disease diagnostics.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes (or nanozymes) have attracted great attention in the past few years owing to their capability not only to mimic functionality but also to overcome the inherent drawbacks of the natural enzymes. Numerous advantages of nanozymes such as diverse enzyme-mimicking activities, low cost, high stability, robustness, unique surface chemistry, and ease of surface tunability and biocompatibility have allowed their integration in a wide range of biosensing applications. Several metal, metal oxide, metal-organic framework-based nanozymes have been exploited for the development of biosensing systems, which present the potential for point-of-care analysis. To highlight recent progress in the field, in this review, more than 260 research articles are discussed systematically with suitable recent examples, elucidating the role of nanozymes to reinforce, miniaturize, and improve the performance of point-of-care diagnostics addressing the ASSURED (affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free and deliverable to the end user) criteria formulated by World Health Organization. The review reveals that many biosensing strategies such as electrochemical, colorimetric, fluorescent, and immunological sensors required to achieve the ASSURED standards can be implemented by using enzyme-mimicking activities of nanomaterials as signal producing components. However, basic system functionality is still lacking. Since the enzyme-mimicking properties of the nanomaterials are dictated by their size, shape, composition, surface charge, surface chemistry as well as external parameters such as pH or temperature, these factors play a crucial role in the design and function of nanozyme-based point-of-care diagnostics. Therefore, it requires a deliberate exertion to integrate various parameters for truly ASSURED solutions to be realized. This review also discusses possible limitations and research gaps to provide readers a brief scenario of the emerging role of nanozymes in state-of-the-art POC diagnosis system development for futuristic biosensing applications.

Abstract
Hydroquinone (HQ) is poorly degradable in the ecological environment and is highly toxic to human health even at a low concentration. The colorimetric method has the advantages of low cost and fast analysis, which provides the possibility for simple and rapid detection of HQ. In this work, a new colorimetric method has been developed for HQ detection based on a peroxidase-like catalyst, α-Fe2O3@CoNi. This sweetsop-like α-Fe2O3@CoNi catalyst enables H2O2 to produce hydroxyl (˙OH), leading to the oxidization of colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxTMB. In the presence of HQ, the blue oxTMB is reduced to colorless, which allows for colorimetric detection of HQ in water samples. This method has been validated by detecting HQ in water samples with high selectivity, rapid response, broad detection range (0.50 to 30 μM), and low detection limit (0.16 μM). A sweetsop-like α-Fe2O3@CoNi catalyst with superior peroxidase-like activity was synthesized and successfully applied to the detection of hydroquinone (HQ) based on the colorimetric principle.![]()

NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11071757. [PMID: 34361143 PMCID: PMC8308108 DOI: 10.3390/nano11071757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Nanocatalysts are a promising alternative to natural enzymes as the signal labels of electrochemical biosensors. However, the surface modification of nanocatalysts and sensor electrodes with recognition elements and blockers may form a barrier to direct electron transfer, thus limiting the application of nanocatalysts in electrochemical immunoassays. Electron mediators can accelerate the electron transfer between nanocatalysts and electrodes. Nevertheless, it is hard to simultaneously achieve fast electron exchange between nanocatalysts and redox mediators as well as substrates. This work presents a scheme for the design of electrochemical immunosensors with nanocatalysts as signal labels, in which pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is the redox-active center of the nanocatalyst. PQQ was decorated on the surface of carbon nanotubes to catalyze the electrochemical oxidation of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) with ferrocenylmethanol (FcM) as the electron mediator. With prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as the model analyte, the detection limit of the sandwich-type immunosensor was found to be 5 pg/mL. The keys to success for this scheme are the slow chemical reaction between TCEP and ferricinum ions, and the high turnover frequency between ferricinum ions, PQQ. and TCEP. This work should be valuable for designing of novel nanolabels and nanocatalytic schemes for electrochemical biosensors.

Abstract
Abnormal levels of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione oxidized (GSSG) usually relates to some diseases, thus quantifying the amount of GSH or GSSG is of great significance. A label-free sensing assay based on the enzyme-mimicking property of Cytidine-Au nanoclusters (Cy-AuNCs) was demonstrated for colorimetric detection of GSH, GSSG and glutathione reductase (GR). Firstly, obvious blue color accompanied with an absorption peak at 652 nm was observed due to the high peroxidase-like activity of Cy-AuNCs toward 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Then, in the presence of target, the mimetic activity of Cy-AuNCs could be strongly inhibited and used to achieve the visualization detection. The inhibition effect arose from the surface interaction between GSH and Cy-AuNCs. Linear relationships between absorbance response and concentration were obtained between 0 and 0.4 mM for GSH, 0-2.5 mM for GSSG and 0-0.2 U/mL for GR. The limit of detection (LOD) was calculated as low as 0.01 mM, 0.03 mM and 0.003 U/mL for GSH, GSSG and GR, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed method displayed rapid response, easy procedure and high selectivity.

Abstract
Herein, we report the preparation of mesoporous gold (Au)-silver (Ag) alloy films through the electrochemical micelle assembly process and their applications as microRNA (miRNA) sensors. Following electrochemical deposition and subsequent removal of the templates, the polymeric micelles can create uniformly sized mesoporous architectures with high surface areas. The resulting mesoporous Au-Ag alloy films show high current densities (electrocatalytic activities) towards the redox reaction between potassium ferrocyanide and potassium ferricyanide. Following magnetic isolation and purification, the target miRNA is adsorbed directly on the mesoporous Au-Ag film. Electrochemical detection is then enabled by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox system (the faradaic current for the miRNA-adsorbed Au-Ag film decreases compared to the bare film). The films demonstrate great advantages towards miRNA sensing platforms to enhance the detection limit down to attomolar levels of miR-21 (limit of detection (LOD) = 100 aM, s/n = 3). The developed enzymatic amplification-free miniaturized analytical sensor has promising potential for RNA-based diagnosis of diseases.

Construction of a ternary nano-architecture based graphene oxide sheets, toward electrocatalytic determination of tumor-associated anti-p53 autoantibodies in human serum. Talanta 2021; 230:122276. [PMID: 33934760 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Revised: 02/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Almost 13% of all death in the world is related to cancer. One of the major reasons for failing cancer treatment is the late diagnosis of the tumors. Thus, diagnosis at the early stages could be vital for the treatment. Serum autoantibodies, as tumor markers, are becoming interesting targets due to their medical and biological relevance. Among them, anti-p53 autoantibody in human sera is found to be involved in a variety of cancers. Regarding this issue, a novel and sensitive electrochemical biosensor for detection of anti-p53 autoantibody has been developed. For this purpose, a nanocomposite including thionine (as an electron transfer mediator)/chitosan/nickel hydroxide nanoparticles/electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (Th-CS-Ni(OH)2NPs-ERGO) as a support platform was fabricated on the surface of glassy carbon electrode via a layer-by-layer manner and characterized through common electrochemical and imaging techniques. Then, p53-antigen was immobilized on the nanocomposite and used in an indirect immunoassay with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody and H2O2 as the substrate, following the typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Under optimized condition, two techniques, including differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) as a label free technique, applied for the biomarker detection. The linear ranges and LODs were obtained 0.1-500 pg mL-1 and 0.001 pg mL-1 using DPV and 5-150 pg mL-1 and 0.007 pg mL-1 using EIS, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed biosensor displayed satisfying stability, selectivity, and reproducibility. According to the results, the presented protocol is promising to develop other electrochemical biosensors.
