Abstract
Starvation therapy has shown promise as a cancer treatment, but its efficacy is often limited when used alone. In this work, a multifunctional nanoscale cascade enzyme system, named CaCO3@MnO2-NH2@GOx@PVP (CMGP), was fabricated for enhanced starvation/chemodynamic combination cancer therapy. CMGP is composed of CaCO3 nanoparticles wrapped in a MnO2 shell, with glucose oxidase (GOx) adsorbed and modified with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). MnO2 decomposes H2O2 in cancer cells into O2, which enhances the efficiency of GOx-mediated starvation therapy. CaCO3 can be decomposed in the acidic cancer cell environment, causing Ca2+ overload in cancer cells and inhibiting mitochondrial metabolism. This synergizes with GOx to achieve more efficient starvation therapy. Additionally, the H2O2 and gluconic acid produced during glucose consumption by GOx are utilized by MnO2 with catalase-like activity to enhance O2 production and Mn2+ release. This process accelerates glucose consumption, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and CaCO3 decomposition, promoting the Ca2+ release. CMGP can alleviate tumor hypoxia by cycling the enzymatic cascade reaction, which increases enzyme activity and combines with Ca2+ overload to achieve enhanced combined starvation/chemodynamic therapy. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that CMGP has effective anticancer abilities and good biosafety. It represents a new strategy with great potential for combined cancer therapy.

Abstract
Encapsulation of enzymes within porous materials has shown great promise for protecting enzymes from denaturation, increasing their tolerance to harsh environments and promoting their industrialization. However, controlling the conformational freedom of the encapsulated enzymes to enhance their catalytic performance remains a great challenge. To address this issue, herein, following immobilization of GOx and HRP on a thermo-responsive porous poly(styrene-maleic-anhydride-N-isopropylacrylamide) (PSMN) membrane, a GOx-HRP@PSMN@HZIF-8 composite was fabricated by encapsulating GOx-HRP@PSMN in hollow ZIF-8 (HZIF-8) with liposome (L) as the sacrificial template. The improved conformational freedom for enzymes arising from the hollow cavity formed in ZIF-8 through the removal of L enhanced the mass transfer and dramatically promoted the catalytic activity of the composite. Interestingly, at high temperature, the coiled PN moiety in PSMN provided the confinement effect for GOx-HRP, which also significantly boosted the catalytic performance of the composites. Compared to the maximum catalytic reaction rates (Vmax) of GOx-HRP@PSMN@LZIF-8, the free enzyme and GOx-HRP@ZIF-8, the Vmax of the GOx-HRP@PSMN@HZIF-8 composite exhibited an impressive 17.8-fold, 10.8-fold and 6.0-fold enhancement at 37 °C, respectively. The proposed composites successfully demonstrated their potential as catalytic platforms for the colorimetric detection of glucose in a cascade reaction. This study paves a new way for overcoming the current limitations of immobilizing enzymes in porous materials and the use of smart polymers for the potential fabrication of enzyme@polymer@MOF composites with tunable conformational freedom and confinement effect.

Abstract
Oxidative stress from excess H2O2 activates transcription factors that restore redox balance and repair oxidative damage. Although many transcription factors are activated by H2O2, it is unclear whether they are activated at the same H2O2 concentration, or time. Dose-dependent activation is likely as oxidative stress is not a singular state and exhibits dose-dependent outcomes including cell-cycle arrest and cell death. Here, we show that transcription factor activation is both dose-dependent and coordinated over time. Low levels of H2O2 activate p53, NRF2 and JUN. Yet under high H2O2, these transcription factors are repressed, and FOXO1, NF-κB, and NFAT1 are activated. Time-lapse imaging revealed that the order in which these two groups of transcription factors are activated depends on whether H2O2 is administered acutely by bolus addition, or continuously through the glucose oxidase enzyme. Finally, we provide evidence that 2-Cys peroxiredoxins control which group of transcription factors are activated.

Abstract
This study introduces the UV/glucose-oxidase@Kaolin (GOD@Kaolin) coupled organic green rust (OGR) system (UV/OGR/GOD@Kaolin) to investigate the promotion of glucose oxidase activity by UV light and its synergistic degradation mechanism for photosensitive pollutants, specifically targeting the efficient degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The enzyme system demonstrates its ability to overcome drawbacks associated with traditional Fenton systems, including a narrow pH range and high localized concentration of H2O2, by gradually releasing hydrogen peroxide in situ within a neutral environment. In the presence of UV radiation under specific conditions, enhanced enzyme activity is observed, resulting in increased efficiency in pollutant removal. The gradual release of hydrogen peroxide plays a crucial role in preventing unwanted reactions among active substances. These unique features facilitate the generation of highly reactive species, such as Fe(IV)O, •OH, and •O2-, tailored to efficiently target the organic components of interest. Additionally, the system establishes a positive iron cycle, ensuring a sustained reactive capability throughout the degradation process. The results highlight the UV/OGR/GOD@Kaolin system as an effective and environmentally friendly approach for the degradation of 4-CP, and the resilience of the enzyme extends the system's applicability to a broader range of scenarios.

Abstract
Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have demonstrated efficacy in eliminating tumor cells by modifying the tumor microenvironment and inducing the polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Nevertheless, the transient nature and limited diffusion distance inherent in ROS present significant challenges in cancer treatment. In response to these limitations, we have developed a nanoparticle (MnClPc-HSA@GOx) that not only inhibits tumor energy metabolism but also facilitates the transition of TAMs from the M2 type (anti-inflammatory type) to the M1 type (proinflammatory type). MnClPc-HSA@GOx comprises a manganese phthalocyanine complex (MnClPc) enveloped in human serum albumin (HSA), with glucose oxidase (GOx) loaded onto MnClPc@HSA nanoparticles. GOx was employed to catalyze the decomposition of glucose to produce H2O2 and gluconic acid. Additionally, in the presence of MnClPc, it catalyzes the conversion of H2O2 into •O2- and 1O2. Results indicate that the nanoparticle effectively impedes the glucose supply to tumor cells and suppresses their energy metabolism. Simultaneously, the ROS-mediated polarization of TAMs induces a shift from M2 to M1 macrophages, resulting in a potent inhibitory effect on tumors. This dual-action strategy holds promising clinical inhibition applications in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Redox potentiometry has emerged as a new platform for in vivo sensing, with improved neuronal compatibility and strong tolerance against sensitivity variation caused by protein fouling. Although enzymes show great possibilities in the fabrication of selective redox potentiometry, the fabrication of an enzyme electrode to output open-circuit voltage (EOC) with fast response remains challenging. Herein, we report a concept of novel enzymatic galvanic redox potentiometry (GRP) with improved time response coupling the merits of the high selectivity of enzyme electrodes with the excellent biocompatibility and reliability of GRP sensors. With a glucose biosensor as an illustration, we use flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase as the recognition element and carbon black as the potential relay station to improve the response time. We find that the enzymatic GRP biosensor rapidly responds to glucose with a good linear relationship between EOC and the logarithm of glucose concentration within a range from 100 μM to 2.65 mM. The GRP biosensor shows high selectivity over O2 and coexisting neurochemicals, good reversibility, and sensitivity and can in vivo monitor glucose dynamics in rat brain. We believe that this study will pave a new platform for the in vivo potentiometric biosensing of chemical events with high reliability.

Abstract
Continuous and non-invasive glucose monitoring and imaging is important for disease diagnosis, treatment, and management. However, glucose monitoring remains a technical challenge owing to the dearth of tissue-transparent glucose sensors. In this study, we present the development of near-infrared fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based nanosensors directly functionalized with glucose oxidase (GOx) capable of immediate and reversible glucose imaging in biological fluids and tissues. We prepared GOx-SWCNT nanosensors by facile sonication of SWCNT with GOx in a manner that-surprisingly-does not compromise the ability of GOx to detect glucose. Importantly, we find by using denatured GOx that the fluorescence modulation of GOx-SWCNT is not associated with the catalytic oxidation of glucose but rather triggered by glucose-GOx binding. Leveraging the unique response mechanism of GOx-SWCNT nanosensors, we developed catalytically inactive apo-GOx-SWCNT that enables both sensitive and reversible glucose imaging, exhibiting a ΔF/F0 of up to 40 % within 1 s of exposure to glucose without consuming the glucose analyte. We finally demonstrate the potential applicability of apo-GOx-SWCNT in biomedical applications by glucose quantification in human plasma and glucose imaging in mouse brain slices.

Abstract
Nanofiber technology is leading the revolution of wearable technology and provides a unique capability to fabricate smart textiles. With the novel fabrication technique of electrospinning, nanofibers can be fabricated and then manufactured into a durable conductive string for the application of smart textiles. This paper presents an electrospun nanofiber mesh-based (NF-Felt) string electrode with a conducting polymer coating for an electrochemical enzymatic glucose sensor. The surface area of a nanofiber matrix is a key physical property for enhanced glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme binding for the development of an electrochemical biosensor. A morphological characterization of the NF-Felt string electrode was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and compared with a commercially available cotton-polyester (Cot-Pol) string coated with the same conducting polymer. The results from stress-strain testing demonstrated high stretchability of the NF-Felt string. Also, the electrochemical characterization results showed that the NF-Felt string electrode was able to detect a glucose concentration in the range between 0.0 mM and 30.0 mM with a sensitivity of 37.4 μA/mM·g and a detection limit of 3.31 mM. Overall, with better electrochemical performance and incredible flexibility, the NF-Felt-based string electrode is potentially more suitable for designing wearable biosensors for the detection of glucose in sweat.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4, GOD) is a widely used industrial enzyme. To construct a GOD-hyperproducing Pichia pastoris strain, combinatorial strategies have been applied to improve GOD activity, synthesis, and secretion. First, wild-type GOD was subjected to saturation mutagenesis to obtain an improved variant, MGOD1 (V20W/T30S), with 1.7-fold higher kcat /KM . Subsequently, efficient signal peptides were screened, and the copy number of MGOD1 was optimized to generate a high-producing strain, 8GM1, containing eight copies of AOX1 promoter-GAS1 signal peptide-MGOD1 expression cassette. Finally, the vesicle trafficking of 8GM1 was engineered to obtain the hyperproducing strain G1EeSe co-expressing the trafficking components EES and SEC. 22, and the EES gene (PAS_chr3_0685) was found to facilitate both protein secretion and production for the first time. Using these strategies, GOD secretion was enhanced 65.2-fold. In the 5-L bioreactor, conventional fed-batch fermentation without any process optimization resulted in up to 7223.0 U/mL extracellular GOD activity (3.3-fold higher than the highest level reported to date), with almost only GOD in the fermentation supernatant at a protein concentration of 30.7 g/L. Therefore, a GOD hyperproducing strain for industrial applications was developed, and this successful case can provide a valuable reference for the construction of high-producing strains for other industrial enzymes.

Abstract
Enzyme-based electrochemical biosensors play an important role in point-of-care diagnostics for personalized medicine. For such devices, lipid cubic phases (LCP) represent an attractive method to immobilize enzymes onto conductive surfaces with no need for chemical linking. However, research has been held back by the lack of effective strategies to stably co-immobilize enzymes with a redox shuttle that enhances the electrical connection between the enzyme redox center and the electrode. In this study, we show that a monoolein (MO) LCP system doped with an amphiphilic redox mediator (ferrocenylmethyl)dodecyldimethylammonium bromide (Fc12) can be used for enzyme immobilization to generate an effective biosensing platform. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) showed that MO LCP can incorporate Fc12 while maintaining the Pn3m symmetry morphology. Cyclic voltammograms of Fc12/MO showed quasi-reversible behavior, which implied that Fc12 was able to freely diffuse in the lipid membrane of LCP with a diffusion coefficient of 1.9 ± 0.2 × 10-8 cm2 s-1 at room temperature. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was then chosen as a model enzyme and incorporated into 0.2%Fc12/MO to evaluate the activity of the platform. GOx hosted in 0.2%Fc12/MO followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics toward glucose with a KM and Imax of 8.9 ± 0.5 mM and 1.4 ± 0.2 μA, respectively, and a linearity range of 2-17 mM glucose. Our results therefore demonstrate that GOx immobilized onto 0.2% Fc12/MO is a suitable platform for the electrochemical detection of glucose.

Abstract
We propose a glucose-powered Janus nanomotor where two faces are functionalized with glucose oxidase (GOx) and polydopamine-Fe3+ chelates (PDF), respectively. In the glucose fuel solution, the GOx on the one side of these Janus nanomotors catalytically decomposes glucose fuels into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to drive them at a speed of 2.67 μm/s. The underlying propulsion mechanism is the glucose-based self-diffusiophoresis owing to the generated local glucose concentration gradient by the enzymatic reaction. Based on the enhanced diffusion motion, such nanomotors with catalytic activity increase the uptake towards cells and subsequently exhibit excellent capabilities for Fe3+ ions delivery and H2 O2 generation for enhancing ferroptosis efficiency for inducing cancer cell death. In particular, the Fe3+ ions are released from nanomotors in a slightly acidic environment, and subsequently generate toxic hydroxyl radicals via Fenton reactions, which accumulation reactive oxygen species (ROS) level (~300 %) and further lipid peroxidation (LPO) strengthened ferroptosis therapy for cancer treatment. The as-developed glucose-powered Janus nanomotor with efficient diffusion and Fe ions delivery capabilities show great promise as a potential in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Three enzymes promoted the development of the gluten network in triticale whole-wheat noodles (TWWN). To further understand the mechanism of gluten enhancement, the effects of three enzymes on the structure of gluten and its fractions (gliadin and glutenin) were evaluated. The results showed that glucose oxidase (GOD), xylanase (XYL), and laccase (LAC) decreased the content of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) extractable proteins. The content of glutenin subunits was reduced by 17.25 %, 30.60 %, and 20.09 % with the addition of GOD, XYL, and LAC, respectively. Furthermore, GOD and LAC increased the content of glutenin macropolymer (GMP) by 2.64 % and 7.71 %, respectively, suggesting the promotion of glutenin aggregation. The addition of three enzymes decreased the weight loss and increased the degradation temperature of the gluten and its fractions. GOD and XYL decreased the fluorescence intensity of gluten and its fractions, except for XYL which increased the fluorescence intensity of glutenin by 10.50 %. Intermolecular interactions and surface hydrophobicity were enhanced by XYL in gluten and its fractions. GOD and LAC decreased the free sulfhydryl content and increased the β-sheet content, suggesting that the covalent interaction between gluten fractions was enhanced. Therefore, this research can enrich the theoretical study of enzymatic cross-linking.

Abstract
Temporal regulation between input and output signals is one of the hallmarks of complex biological processes. Herein, we report that the conformational disposition of a protein in macromolecularly crowded media can be controlled with time using enzymes. First, we demonstrate the pH dependence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) condensation and conformational alteration in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) as a crowder. However, by exploiting the strength of pH-modulatory enzymatic reactions (glucose oxidase and urease), the conversion time between the condensed and free forms can be tuned. Additionally, we demonstrate that the trapping of intermediate states with respect to the overall system at a particular α-helix or β-sheet composition and rotational mobility can be possible simply by altering the substrate concentration. Finally, we show that the intrinsic catalytic ability of BSA toward the Kemp elimination (KE) reaction is inhibited in the aggregated form but regained in the free form. In fact, the rate of KE reaction can also be actuated enzymatically in a temporal fashion, therefore demonstrating the programmability of a cascade of biochemical events in crowded media.

Abstract
One of the major challenges in effective cancer therapy arises because of the hypoxic microenvironment in the tumor. This compromises the efficacy of both chemo- and radiotherapy, and thus hinders patient outcomes. To solve this problem, we constructed polydopamine (PDA)-cloaked Fe-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) loaded with d-arginine (d-Arg), glucose oxidase (GOX), and the chemotherapeutic drug tirapazamine (TPZ). These offer simultaneous multifaceted therapy combining chemodynamic therapy (CDT)/radiotherapy (RT)/starvation therapy (ST)/gas therapy (GT) and chemotherapy. The particles further can act as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. GOX catalyses the conversion of endogenous glucose and O2 to hydrogen peroxide and gluconic acid, blocking the cells' energy supply and providing ST. With the resultant acidification of the local environment, the breakdown of the MOF releases TPZ (for chemotherapy) and Fe3+, which reacts with H2O2 to produce reactive oxygen species and thus stimulates the conversion of d-Arg to NO for GT and RT sensitization. The PDA coating not only seals the pores and chelates Fe3+ to enhance the T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) properties, but also is used to graft folate bovine serum albumin (FA-BSA) and thereby target the tumor site. The combined administration of low doses of X-ray irradiation and nanoparticles reduces the side effects on healthy tissue and can prevent lung metastases in mice. This work highlights the synergistic treatment of osteosarcoma via ST/GT/CDT/RT/MRI/ chemotherapy using a PDA-cloaked MOF system.

Abstract
Enzymatic catalysis with high efficiency allows them a great prospect in metabolite monitoring in living cells. However, complex tumor microenvironments, such as acidity, H2 O2 , and hypoxia, are bound to disturb catalytic reactions for misleading results. Here, we report a spatially compartmentalized artificial organelle to correct intratumoral glucose analysis, where the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 immobilized glucose oxidase-horseradish peroxidase cascade core and catalase-directed shell act as signal transduction and guarding rooms respectively. The acid-digested core and stable shell provide appropriate spaces to boost biocatalytic efficiency with good tolerability. Notably, the endogenous H2 O2 is in situ decomposed to O2 by catalase, which not only overcomes the interference in signal output but also alleviates the hypoxic states to maximize glucose oxidation. The marked protective effect and biocompatibility render artificial organelles to correct the signal transduction for dynamic monitoring glucose in vitro and in vivo, achieving our goal of accurate intratumoral metabolite analysis.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based cancer therapy faces significant limitations due to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Starvation therapy is an emerging therapeutic approach that targets tumor cell metabolism using glucose oxidase (GOx). Importantly, it can provide a material or environmental foundation for other diverse therapeutic methods by manipulating the properties of the TME, such as acidity, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels, and hypoxia degree. In recent years, this cascade strategy has been extensively applied in nanoplatforms for ongoing synergetic therapy and still holds undeniable potential. However, only a few review articles comprehensively elucidate the rational designs of nanoplatforms for synergetic therapeutic regimens revolving around the conception of the cascade strategy. Therefore, this review focuses on innovative cascade strategies for GOx-based synergetic therapy from representative paradigms to state-of-the-art reports to provide an instructive, comprehensive, and insightful reference for readers. Thereafter, we discuss the remaining challenges and offer a critical perspective on the further advancement of GOx-facilitated cancer treatment toward clinical translation.

Abstract
DNA frameworks, consisting of constitutional dynamic networks (CDNs) undergoing fuel-driven reconfiguration, are coupled to a dissipative reaction module that triggers the reconfigured CDNs into a transient intermediate CDNs recovering the parent CDN state. Biocatalytic cascades consisting of the glucose oxidase (GOx)/horseradish peroxidase (HRP) couple or the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) couple are tethered to the constituents of two different CDNs, allowing the CDNs-guided operation of the spatially confined GOx/HRP or LDH/NAD+ biocatalytic cascades. By applying two different fuel triggers, the directional transient CDN-guided upregulation/downregulation of the two biocatalytic cascades are demonstrated. By mixing the GOx/HRP-biocatalyst-modified CDN with the LDH/NAD+-biocatalyst-functionalized CDN, a composite CDN is assembled. Triggering the composite CDN with two different fuel strands results in orthogonal transient upregulation of the GOx/HRP cascade and transient downregulation of the LDH/NAD+ cascade or vice versa. The transient CDNs-guided biocatalytic cascades are computationally simulated by kinetic models, and the computational analyses allow the prediction of the performance of transient biocatalytic cascades under different auxiliary conditions. The concept of orthogonally triggered temporal, transient, biocatalytic cascades by means of CDN frameworks is applied to design an orthogonally operating CDN for the temporal upregulated or downregulated transient thrombin-induced coagulation of fibrinogen to fibrin.

Abstract
The recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) have been considered as a severe challenge in clinical treatment. Recent studies have demonstrated that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and lactate can promote local tumor angiogenesis, recurrence, and metastasis. The expression of MMPs is highly dependent on energy metabolism, and lactate is considered an alternative energy source for tumor proliferation and metastasis. Therefore, using a rational approach, a photothermal-starvation therapy nanomodulator that can reduce energy metabolism to suppress CRC recurrence and metastasis is designed. To design a suitable nanomodulator, glucose oxidase (GOX), indocyanine green (IR820), and α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHC) into nanoparticles by a coassembly method are combined. The photothermal properties of IR820 provide the appropriate temperature and oxygen supply for the enzymatic reaction of GOX to promote intracellular glucose consumption. CHC inhibits the expression of monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1), the transporter of lactic acid into cells, and also reduces oxygen consumption and promotes the GOX reaction. Additionally, altering adenosine triphosphate synthesis to block heat shock proteins expression can be an effective means to prevent IR820-mediated photothermal therapy resistance. Thus, this dual photothermal-starvation therapy nanomodulator efficiently suppresses the recurrence and metastasis of CRC by depleting intracellular nutrients.

Abstract
Tumor-dependent glucose and glutamine metabolisms are essential for maintaining survival, while the accordingly metabolic suppressive therapy is limited by the compensatory metabolism and inefficient delivery efficiency. Herein, a functional metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanosystem composed of the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment-activated detachable shell and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive disassembled MOF nanoreactor core is designed to co-load glycolysis and glutamine metabolism inhibitors glucose oxidase (GOD) and bis-2-(5-phenylacetmido-1,2,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) ethyl sulfide (BPTES) for tumor dual-starvation therapy. The nanosystem excitingly improves tumor penetration and cellular uptake efficiency via integrating the pH-responsive size reduction and charge reversal and ROS-sensitive MOF disintegration and drug release strategy. Furthermore, the degradation of MOF and cargoes release can be self-amplified via additional self-generation H2 O2 mediated by GOD. Last, the released GOD and BPTES collaboratively cut off the energy supply of tumors and induce significant mitochondrial damage and cell cycle arrest via simultaneous restriction of glycolysis and compensatory glutamine metabolism pathways, consequently realizing the remarkable triple negative breast cancer killing effect in vivo with good biosafety via the dual starvation therapy.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase-loaded ZIF-90 metal-organic framework nanoparticles conjugated to hemin-G-quadruplexes act as functional bioreactor hybrids operating transient dissipative biocatalytic cascaded transformations consisting of the glucose-driven H2O2-mediated oxidation of Amplex-Red to resorufin or the glucose-driven generation of chemiluminescence by the H2O2-mediated oxidation of luminol. One system involves the fueled activation of a reaction module leading to the temporal formation and depletion of the bioreactor conjugate operating the nickase-guided transient biocatalytic cascades. The second system demonstrates the fueled activation of a reaction module yielding a bioreactor conjugate operating the exonuclease III-dictated transient operation of the two biocatalytic cascades. The temporal operations of the bioreactor circuits are accompanied by kinetic models and computational simulations enabling us to predict the dynamic behavior of the systems subjected to different auxiliary conditions.

Abstract
This paper describes a sensitive method for determining protamine and heparin by utilizing a glucose oxidase enzymatic reaction. Polycationic protamine significantly promoted the enzymatic reaction rate with [Fe(CN)6]3-, so that the increase could be used to determine protamine. The promotion effect was stoichiometrically decreased by the addition of polyanionic heparin through the polyion complex formation with protamine, so that the enzymatic reaction also allowed for the determination of heparin. We thus applied the proposed method to blood plasma containing heparin and found that heparin did not stoichiometrically form a polyion complex with protamine, likely due to strong interactions between heparin and some components of the plasma. The proposed method allowed for the detection of free protamine (and/or weakly binding protamine with heparin) existing in the condition that protamine did not neutralize all of the heparin in the plasma. The method also permitted for the estimation of heparin concentrations using calibration curves. Thus, the proposed method would help reduce the risks of protamine overdose in heparin neutralization and would be a helpful tool in clinical practices that use heparin and protamine.

Abstract
The multienzyme co-immobilization systems with high cascade catalytic efficiency and selectivity have attracted considerable attention. In this study, through DNA-directed immobilization (DDI) technology, two model enzymes, glucose oxidase (GOD) and horseradish peroxide (HRP) were co-immobilized on the multifunctional silica nanoparticles (DDI enzyme). In addition to the directional distribution promoted by DNA complementary chains, the multienzyme system allowed the control of the stoichiometric ratio of the enzymes by adjusting the ratio of amino/carboxyl groups. The optimal mole ratio of GOD/HRP was 1:2, while the protein loading amount could reach 8.06 mg·g-1. Compared with the conventional direct adsorption, the catalytic activity of the DDI enzyme was 2.49 times higher. Moreover, with the enhancement of thermal and mechanical stability, the DDI enzyme could still retain at least 50% of its initial activity after 12 cycles. Accompanied by an excellent response and good selectivity, the constructed multienzyme systems simultaneously showed the potential as a glucose detector. Therefore, based on the DDI technology, the highly efficient multienzyme co-immobilization system could be further extended for a wider range of research fields.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is a common cancer treatment approach in clinical practice, yet its efficacy has been restricted by tumor hypoxia. Nanomaterials-mediated systemic delivery of glucose oxidase (GOx) and catalase (CAT) or CAT-like nanoenzymes holds the potential to enhance tumor oxygenation. However, they face the challenge of intermediate (hydrogen peroxide [H2 O2 ]) escape during systemic circulation if the enzyme pair is not closely placed to largely decompose H2 O2 , leading to oxidative stress on normal tissues. In the present study, a oxygen-generating nanocascade, n(GOx-CAT)C7A , constructed by strategically placing an enzymatic cascade (GOx and CAT) within a polymeric coating rich in hexamethyleneimine (C7A) moieties, is reported. During blood circulation, C7A remains predominantly non-protonated , achieving prolonged blood circulation due to its low-fouling surface. Once n(GOx-CAT)C7A reaches the tumor site, the acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) induces protonation of C7A moieties, resulting in a positively charged surface for enhanced tumor transcytosis. Moreover, GOx and CAT are covalently conjugated into close spatial proximity (<10 nm) for effective H2 O2 elimination. As demonstrated by the in vivo results, n(GOx-CAT)C7A achieves effective tumor retention and oxygenation, potent radiosensitization and antitumor effects. Such a dual-enzyme nanocascade for smart O2 delivery holds great potential for enhancing the hypoxia-compromised cancer therapies.

Abstract
Cascade hydroxyl radical generating hydrogel reactor structures including a chemotherapeutic agent are invented for multiple treatment of breast cancer. Glucose oxidase (GOx) and cupric sulfate (Cu) are introduced for transforming accumulated glucose (in cancer cells) to hydroxyl radicals for starvation/chemodynamic therapy. Cu may also suppress cancer cell growth via cuproptosis-mediated cell death. Berberine hydrochloride (BER) is engaged as a chemotherapeutic agent in the hydrogel reactor for combining with starvation/chemodynamic/cuproptosis therapeutic modalities. Moreover, Cu is participated as a gel crosslinker by coordinating with catechol groups in hyaluronic acid-dopamine (HD) polymer. Controlling viscoelasticity of hydrogel reactor can extend the retention time following local injection and provide sustained drug release patterns. Low biodegradation rate of designed HD/BER/GOx/Cu hydrogel can reduce dosing frequency in local cancer therapy and avoid invasiveness-related inconveniences. Especially, it is anticipated that HD/BER/GOx/Cu hydrogel system can be applied for reducing size of breast cancer prior to surgery as well as tumor growth suppression in clinical application.

Abstract
Dynamic interactions of enzymes, including programmable configuration and cycling of enzymes, play important roles in the regulation of cellular metabolism. Here, we constructed a super DNA-enzymes molecule (SDEM) that comprises at least two cascade enzymes and multiple linked DNA strands to control and detect metabolism. We found that the programmable SDEM, which comprises glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP), has a 20-fold lower detection limit and a 1.6-fold higher reaction rate than free enzymes. An SDEM can be assembled and disassembled using a hairpin structure and a displacement DNA strand to complete multiple cycles. An entropically driven catalytic assembly (catassembly) enables different SDEMs to switch from an SDEM with GOx and HRP cascades to an SDEM with sarcosine oxidase (SOX) and HRP cascades in over six orders of magnitude less time than without the catassembly to detect different metabolisms (GO and sarcosine) on demand.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the foremost global concerns, as it has impacted millions of lives. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology for continuous glucose monitoring in vivo. In the current study, we employed computational methods such as docking, MD simulations, and MM/GBSA, to obtain molecular insights into the interaction between (ZnO)12 nanocluster and glucose oxidase (GOx) that cannot be obtained through experiments alone. For this, theoretical modeling of the 3D cage-like (ZnO)12 nanocluster in ground state configuration was performed. Further docking of (ZnO)12 nanocluster with GOx molecule was carried out to find the nano-bio-interaction of (ZnO)12-GOx complex. To understand the whole interaction and dynamics of (ZnO)12-GOx-FAD-with and without glucose, we performed MD simulation and MM/GBSA analysis of (ZnO)12-GOx-FAD complex and glucose-(ZnO)12-GOx-FAD complex separately. The interaction was found to be stable, and the binding energy of (ZnO)12 to GOx-FAD increases in the presence of glucose by 6 kcal mol-1. This may be helpful in nano probing of the interaction of GOx with glucose. It can help in making a device like fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) based nano-biosensor to monitor the glucose level in pre and post diabetic patient.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
This work focusses on developing a hybrid enzyme biofuel cell-based self-powered biosensor with appreciable stability and durability using murine leukemia fusion gene fragments (tDNA) as a model analyte. The cell consists of a Ti3 C2 Tx /multiwalled carbon nanotube/gold nanoparticle/glucose oxidase bioanode and a Zn/Co-modified carbon nanotube cathode. The bioanode uniquely exhibits strong electron transfer ability and a high surface area for the loading of 1.14 × 10-9 mol cm-2 glucose oxidase to catalyze glucose oxidation. Meanwhile, the abiotic cathode with a high oxygen reduction reaction activity negates the use of conventional bioenzymes as catalysts, which aids in extending the stability and durability of the sensing system. The biosensor offers a 0.1 fm-1 nm linear range and a detection limit of 0.022 fm tDNA. Additionally, the biosensor demonstrates a reproducibility of ≈4.85% and retains ≈87.42% of the initial maximal power density after a 4-week storage at 4 °C, verifying a significantly improved long-term stability.

Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx)-based electrodes are important for bioelectronics, such as glucose sensors. It is challenging to effectively link GOx with nanomaterial-modified electrodes while preserving enzyme activity in a biocompatible environment. To date, no reports have used biocompatible food-based materials, such as egg white proteins, combined with GOx, redox molecules, and nanoparticles to create the biorecognition layer for biosensors and biofuel cells. This article demonstrates the interface of GOx integrated with egg white proteins on a 5 nm gold nanoparticle (AuNP) functionalized with a 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ) and conjugated with a screen-printed flexible conductive carbon nanotube (CNT)-modified electrode. Egg white proteins containing ovalbumin can form three-dimensional scaffolds to accommodate immobilized enzymes and adjust the analytical performance. The structure of this biointerface prevents the escape of enzymes and provides a suitable microenvironment for the effective reaction. The bioelectrode's performance and kinetics were evaluated. Using redox-mediated molecules with the AuNPs and the three-dimensional matrix made of egg white proteins improves the transfer of electrons between the electrode and the redox center. By engineering the layer of egg white proteins on the GOx-NQ-AuNPs-mediated CNT-functionalized electrodes, we can modulate analytical performances such as sensitivity and linear range. The bioelectrodes demonstrate high sensitivity and can prolong the stability by more than 85% after 6 h of continuous operation. The use of food-based proteins with redox molecule-modified AuNPs and printed electrodes demonstrates advantages for biosensors and energy devices due to their small size, large surface area, and ease of modification. This concept holds a promise for creating biocompatible electrodes for biosensors and self-sustaining energy devices.

Abstract
Glucose monitoring is essential to evaluate the degree of glucose metabolism disorders. The enzymatic determination has been the most widely used method in glucose detection because of its high efficiency, accuracy, and sensitivity. Noble metal nanomaterials (NMs, i.e., Au, Ag, Pt, and Pd), inheriting their excellent electronic, optical, and enzyme-like properties, are classified as noble metal nanozymes (NMNZs). As the NMNZs are often involved in two series of reactions, the oxidation of glucose and the chromogenic reaction of peroxide, here the chemical mechanism by employing NMNZs with glucose oxidase (GOx) and peroxidase (POD) mimicking activities is briefly summarized first. Subsequently, the regulation strategies of the GOx-like, POD-like and tandem enzyme-like activities of NMNZs are presented in detail, including the materials, size, morphology, composition, and the reaction condition of the representative NMs. In addition, in order to further mimic the enantioselectivity of enzyme, the design of NMNZs with enantioselective recognition of d-glucose and l-glucose by using different chiral compounds (DNA, amino acids, and cyclodextrins) and molecular imprinting is further described in this review. Finally, the feasible solutions to the existing challenges and a vision for future development possibilities are discussed.

Abstract
Starvation therapy kills tumor cells via consuming glucose to cut off their energy supply. However, since glucose oxidase (GOx)-mediated glycolysis is oxygen-dependent, the cascade reaction based on GOx faces the challenge of a hypoxic tumor microenvironment. By decomposition of glycolysis production of H2 O2 into O2 , starvation therapy can be enhanced, but chemodynamic therapy is limited. Here, a close-loop strategy for on demand H2 O2 and O2 delivery, release, and recycling is proposed. The nanoreactor (metal-protein-polyphenol capsule) is designed by incorporating two native proteins, GOx and hemoglobin (Hb), in polyphenol networks with zeolitic imidazolate framework as sacrificial templates. Glycolysis occurs in the presence of GOx with O2 consumption and the produced H2 O2 reacts with Hb to produce highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and methemoglobin (MHb) (Fenton reaction). Benefiting from the different oxygen carrying capacities of Hb and MHb, oxygen on Hb is rapidly released to supplement its consumption during glycolysis. Glycolysis and Fenton reactions are mutually reinforced by oxygen supply, consuming more glucose and producing more hydroxyl radicals and ultimately enhancing both starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy. This cascade nanoreactor exhibits high efficiency for tumor suppression and provides an effective strategy for oxygen-mediated synergistic starvation therapy and chemodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Fenton reaction-based chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which applies metal ions to convert less active hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into more harmful hydroxyl peroxide (·OH) for tumor treatment, has attracted increasing interest recently. However, the CDT is substantially hindered by glutathione (GSH) scavenging effect on ·OH, low intracellular H2O2 level, and low reaction rate, resulting in unsatisfactory efficacy. Here, a cancer cell membrane (CM)-camouflaged Au nanorod core/mesoporous MnO2 shell yolk-shell nanocatalyst embedded with glucose oxidase (GOD) and Dox (denoted as AMGDC) is constructed for synergistic triple-augmented CDT and chemotherapy of tumor under MRI/PAI guidance. Benefiting from the homologous adhesion and immune escaping property of the cancer CM, the nanocatalysts can target tumor and gradually accumulate in tumor site. For triple-augmented CDT, first, the MnO2 shell reacts with intratumoral GSH to generate Mn2+ and glutathione disulfide, which achieves Fenton-like ion delivery and weakening of GSH-mediated scavenging effect, leading to GSH depletion-enhanced CDT. Second, the intratumoral glucose can be oxidized to H2O2 and gluconic acid by GOD, achieving supplementary H2O2-enhanced CDT. Next, the AuNRs absorbing in NIR-II elevate the local tumor temperature upon NIR-II laser irradiation, achieving photothermal-enhanced CDT. Dox is rapidly released for adjuvant chemotherapy due to responsive degradation of MnO2 shell. Moreover, GSH-activated PAI/MRI can be used to monitor CDT process. This study provides a great paradigm for enhancing CDT-mediated antitumor efficacy.

Abstract
Notwithstanding immune checkpoint blocking (ICB) therapy has made eminent clinical breakthroughs, overcoming immunologically "cold" tumors remains challenging. Here, a cascade potentiated nanomodulator AuPtAg-GOx is engineered for boosting immune responsiveness. Upon 1064 nm laser irradiation, AuPtAg-mediated mild photothermal therapy (PTT) activates cytotoxic T lymphocytes and reverses the immunogenic "cold" tumor microenvironment. Further, to amplify the thermal sensitivity of tumor cells, glucose oxidase (GOx) is introduced to suppress the production of heat shock proteins, thereby promoting mild photothermal therapy. Complementarily, AuPtAg nanozymes with catalase-like activity can ameliorate tumor hypoxia, significantly improving the GOx activity. As a result, the combination of AuPtAg-GOx with self-augmented photothermal ability and PD-L1 antibody can further escalate the antitumor efficacy. The AuPtAg-GOx-based synergistic starvation therapy, mild PTT, and immunotherapy cascade enhancement therapy strategy can be a favorable tool to effectively kill cancer cells.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a new type of regulated cell death that is of great interest for developing new strategies for treating cancers. This potential is however greatly limited by the low efficiency and selectivity of current strategies to regulate cancer cell pyroptosis. Herein, we report biodegradable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for intracellular delivery of glucose oxidase (GOx) that promotes cascade biocatalysis inside cells and selectively induces cancer cell pyroptosis. We show that the self-assembly of Cu2+ and 4,4'-azobisbenzoic acid along with GOx affords protein-encapsulated GOx@Cu MOF that efficiently delivers GOx into cells. In addition, the tumor-cell-overexpressed NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) can trigger the reduction of 4,4'-azobisbenzoic acid and the degradation of GOx@Cu MOF, releasing GOx to catalyze glucose oxidation and produce excessive hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) intracellularly. Furthermore, released Cu2+ from Cu MOF could be reduced to Cu+ by intracellular glutathione (GSH), promoting Fenton-like reaction with H2O2 to continuously generate a hydroxyl radical that induces cancer cell pyroptosis and prohibits tumor cell growth. We anticipate the strategy of harnessing biodegradable MOFs for protein delivery, and intracellular biocatalysis provides a powerful approach to regulate tumor cell pyroptosis for advanced therapeutic development.

Abstract
The construction of completely biocompatible and biodegradable tumor suppressors by a simple and reliable method is essential for the clinical application of cancer-targeted drugs. Herein, by inserting glucose oxidase (GOx), catalase (CAT), and chlorin e6 (Ce6) into human serum albumin (HSA) assembly molecules, we constructed a cancer-targeted cascade bioreactor for synergistic starvation and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The modification of HSA could block the GOx activity and reduce the cytotoxicity of normal cells and organs. Through active targeting and passive enhanced permeability and retention effect, the loading of AS1411 could promote the cascade bioreactors to effectively target nucleolin-overexpressed tumors. Once internalized by cancer cells, as a result of catalyzing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce oxygen (O2), the protein nano-cascade reactor promoted microenvironmental oxygenation, which would subsequently lead to an increase in cytotoxic singlet oxygen (1O2) production under light irradiation as well as the decomposition of intracellular glucose. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that the cascaded nanoreactors could significantly enhance therapeutic efficacy through synergistic starvation therapy and enhanced PDT as well as chemotherapy. This cascade strategy will be demonstrated in clinical applications with huge potential.

Abstract
Cuproptosis, a newly identified form of regulated cell death that is copper-dependent, offers great opportunities for exploring the use of copper-based nanomaterials inducing cuproptosis for cancer treatment. Here, a glucose oxidase (GOx)-engineered nonporous copper(I) 1,2,4-triazolate ([Cu(tz)]) coordination polymer (CP) nanoplatform, denoted as GOx@[Cu(tz)], for starvation-augmented cuproptosis and photodynamic synergistic therapy is developed. Importantly, the catalytic activity of GOx is shielded in the nonporous scaffold but can be "turned on" for efficient glucose depletion only upon glutathione (GSH) stimulation in cancer cells, thereby proceeding cancer starvation therapy. The depletion of glucose and GSH sensitizes cancer cells to the GOx@[Cu(tz)]-mediated cuproptosis, producing aggregation of lipoylated mitochondrial proteins, the target of copper-induced toxicity. The increased intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) levels, due to the oxidation of glucose, activates the type I photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy of GOx@[Cu(tz)]. The in vivo experimental results indicate that GOx@[Cu(tz)] produces negligible systemic toxicity and inhibits tumor growth by 92.4% in athymic mice bearing 5637 bladder tumors. This is thought to be the first report of a cupreous nanomaterial capable of inducing cuproptosis and cuproptosis-based synergistic therapy in bladder cancer, which should invigorate studies pursuing rational design of efficacious cancer therapy strategies based on cuproptosis.

Abstract
Oxidative stress induces DNA damage which can be repaired by DNA repair proteins, such as Ku70/80. Excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) stimulate the activation of caspase-3, which degrades Ku 70/80. Cells with decreased Ku protein levels undergo apoptosis. Astaxanthin exerts antioxidant activity by inducing the expression of catalase, an antioxidant enzyme, in gastric epithelial cells. Therefore, astaxanthin may inhibit oxidative stress-induced DNA damage by preventing Ku protein degradation and thereby suppressing apoptosis. Ku proteins can be degraded via ubiquitination and neddylation which adds ubiquitin-like protein to substrate proteins. We aimed to determine whether oxidative stress decreases Ku70/80 expression through the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway to induce apoptosis and whether astaxanthin inhibits oxidative stress-induced changes in gastric epithelial AGS cells. We induced oxidative stress caused by the treatment of β-D-glucose (G) and glucose oxidase (GO) in the cells. As a result, the G/GO treatment increased ROS levels, decreased nuclear Ku protein levels and Ku-DNA-binding activity, and induced the ubiquitination of Ku80. G/GO increased the DNA damage marker levels (γ-H2AX; DNA fragmentation) and apoptosis marker annexin V-positive cells and cell death. Astaxanthin inhibited G/GO-induced alterations, including Ku degradation in AGS cells. MLN4924, a neddylation inhibitor, and MG132, a proteasome inhibitor, suppressed G/GO-mediated DNA fragmentation and decreased cell viability. These results indicated that G/GO-induced oxidative stress causes Ku protein loss through the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway, resulting in DNA fragmentation and apoptotic cell death. Astaxanthin inhibited oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis via the reduction of ROS levels and inhibition of Ku protein degradation. In conclusion, dietary astaxanthin supplementation or astaxanthin-rich food consumption may be effective for preventing or delaying oxidative stress-mediated cell damage by suppressing Ku protein loss and apoptosis in gastric epithelial cells.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have many attractive features, including tunable composition, rigid structure, controllable pore size, and large specific surface area, and thus are highly applicable in molecular analysis. Depending on the MOF structure, a high number of unsaturated metal sites can be exposed to catalyze chemical reactions. In the present work, we report that using both Co(II) and Fe(III) to prepare the MIL-88(NH2) MOF, we can produce the bimetallic MOF that can catalyze the conversion of 3,3',5,5″-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to a color product through a reaction with H2O2 at a higher reaction rate than the monometallic Fe-MIL-88(NH2). The Michaelis constants (Km) of the catalytic reaction for TMB and H2O2 are 3-5 times smaller, and the catalytic constants (kcat) are 5-10 times higher than those of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP), supporting ultrahigh peroxidase-like activity. These values are also much more superior to those of the HRP-mimicking MOFs reported previously. Interestingly, the bimetallic MOF can be coupled with glucose oxidase (GOx) to trigger the cascade enzymatic reaction for highly sensitive detection of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a family of important biomarkers. Through conjugation to the aptamer that recognizes the marker protein on EV surface, the MOF can help isolate the EVs from biological matrices, which are subsequently labeled by GOx via antibody recognition. The cascade enzymatic reaction between MOF and GOx enables the detection of EVs at a concentration as low as 7.8 × 104 particles/mL. The assay can be applied to monitor EV secretion by cultured cells and also can successfully detect the different EV quantities in the sera samples collected from cancer patients and healthy controls. Overall, we prove that the bimetallic Fe/Co-MIL-88(NH2) MOF, with its high peroxidase activity and high biocompatibility, is a valuable tool deployable in clinical assays to facilitate disease diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination of water environments can cause various troubles in various areas. As one of potential solutions, we develop enzyme-immobilized elastomer, and demonstrate the uses of enzyme reactions on-demand for effective microbial decontamination and antifouling. Asymmetrically-structured elastomer is prepared by combining two polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers with different degrees of crosslinking: highly-crosslinked and lightly-crosslinked PDMS layers. At the surface of highly-crosslinked PDMS layer, porous structure with average diameter of 842 nm is formed by dissolving pre-packed and entrapped latex beads. Lightly-crosslinked PDMS on the other side, due to its adhesive nature, enables iterative attachments on various materials under either dry or wet condition. Glucose oxidase (GOx) is immobilized by using the pores at the surface of highly-crosslinked PDMS matrix via a ship-in-a-bottle protocol of precipitation-based microscale enzyme reactor (p-MER), which consists of GOx adsorption, precipitation and chemical crosslinking (EAPC). As a result, crosslinked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) of GOx not only are well entrapped within many pores of highly-crosslinked PDMS layer (ship-in-bottle) but also cover the external surface of matrix, both of which are well connected together. Highly-interconnected network of CLEAs themselves effectively prevents enzyme leaching, which shows the 25% residual activity of GOx under shaking at 200 rpm for 156 days after 48% initial drop of loosely-bound p-MER after 4 days. In presence of glucose, the underwater attachment of biocatalytic elastomer demonstrates the generation of hydrogen peroxide via p-MER-catalyzed glucose oxidation, exhibiting effective biocidal activities against both gram-positive S. aureus and gram-negative E. coli. Adhesion-induced GOx-catalyzed reaction also alleviates the biofouling of membrane, suggesting its extendibility to various engineering systems being suffered by biofouling. This study of biocatalytic elastomer has demonstrated its new opportunities for the facile and on-demand enzyme-catalyzed reactions in various environmental applications, such as bactericidal treatment, water treatment/purification, and pollutant degradation.

Abstract
Activatable fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II FL, 1000-1700 nm) is of great significance for accurate tumor diagnosis and targeting therapy. However, the clinical translation of most stimulus-activated nanoprobes is severely restricted by insufficient tumor response and out-of-synchronization theranostic process. Herein, an intelligent nanofactory AUC-GOx/Cel that possesses the "external supply, internal promotion" dual H2 O2 -amplification strategy for homologous activated tumor theranostic is designed. This nanofactory is constructed via a two-step biomineralization method using Au-doped Ag2 S as a carrier for glucose oxidase (GOx) and celastrol, followed by the growing of CuS to "turn off" the NIR-II FL signal. In the overexpressed H2 O2 tumor-microenvironment, the CuS featuring a responsive-degradability behavior can effectively release Cu ions, resulting in the "ON" state of NIR-II FL and Fenton-like activity. The exposed GOx can realize the intratumoral H2 O2 supply (external supply) via the effective conversion of glucose, and mediating tumor-starvation therapy; the interaction of celastrol and mitochondria can offer a substantial increase in the endogenous H2 O2 level (internal promotion), thereby significantly promoting the chemodynamic therapy (CDT) efficacy. Meanwhile, the dual H2 O2 -enhancement performance will in turn accelerate the degradation of AUC-GOx/Cel, and achieve a positive feedback mechanism for self-reinforcing CDT.

Abstract
To date, the construction of heterogeneous interfaces between sonosensitizers and other semiconductors or noble metals has aroused increasing attention, owing to an enhanced interface charge transfer, augmented spin-flip, and attenuated activation energy of oxygen. Here, a smart therapeutic nanoplatform is constructed by surface immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) onto a TiO2@Pt Schottky junction. The sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and starvation therapy (ST) mediated by TiO2@Pt/GOx (TPG) promote systemic tumor suppression upon hypoxia alleviation in tumor microenvironment. The band gap of TiO2@Pt is outstandingly decreased to 2.9 eV, in contrast to that of pristine TiO2. The energy structure optimization enables a more rapid generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) by TiO2@Pt under ultrasound irradiation, resulting from an enhanced separation of hole-electron pair for redox utilization. The tumorous reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and GOx-mediated glucose depletion facilitate oxidative damage and energy exhaustion of cancer cells, both of which can be tremendously amplified by Pt-catalyzed oxygen self-supply. Importantly, the combinatorial therapy triggers intense immunogenetic cell death, which favors a follow-up suppression of distant tumor and metastasis by evoking antitumor immunity. Collectively, this proof-of-concept paradigm provides an insightful strategy for highly efficient SDT/ST, which possesses good clinical potential for tackling cancer.

Abstract
Autophagy is an important protective mechanism in maintaining or restoring cell homeostasis under physiological and pathological conditions. Nanoparticles (NPs) with certain components and morphologies can induce autophagic responses in cancer cells, providing a new perspective for establishing cancer therapy strategies. Herein, a novel nanodrug system, cell membranes-coated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) NPs encapsulating chloroquine (CQ) and glucose oxidase (GOx) (defined as mCG@ZIF), is designed to achieve an enhanced anticancer effect with the combination of starvation therapy and an autophagy regulation strategy. It is found that ZIF-8 as a nanocarrier can induce autophagy to promote survival of cancer cells via the upstream Zn2+-stimulated mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) so that the anticancer effect is directly achieved by inhibiting this pro-survival autophagy using CQ released from mCG@ZIF under a tumor acidic microenvironment. Moreover, a cancer cell under starvation caused by GOx harnesses autophagy to maintain intracellular ATP levels and resist starvation therapy. The released CQ further inhibits the starvation-induced pro-survival autophagy and cuts off the protective pathway of cancer cells, enhancing the anticancer efficiency of GOx-based starvation therapy. Significantly, the cell membrane coating endows mCG@ZIF with excellent in vivo homotypic targeting ability. Both in vitro and in vivo results have confirmed the enhanced anticancer effect achieved by mCG@ZIF with a negligible side effect.

Abstract
The Fenton reaction is regarded as highly efficient for the degradation of organic contaminants. However, the traditional Fenton reaction is still flawed in a narrow pH working range and low utilization efficiency of the reagents. Based on two striking features, a sustained release of H2O2 in-situ under the catalysis of glucose oxidase (GOX) and the rapid electron donation & transferability from green rust (GR), an adaptable biological Fenton-like system (GGGMFs) was established. The coupling roles of glucose, GOX and GR in the degradation of 3,4-dimethylaniline (3,4-DMA) and the types of reactive species were deduced by electron spin resonance (ESR), etc.. Results demonstrated that the suitable pH range of the system was optimized from acidic to circumneutral, which was favorable for practical application, owing to the heterogeneous formation of GR and the pH self-adjustable capacity of GOX-Glucose. Meanwhile, hydroxyl radical (·OH), superoxide radical (·O2-) and Fe (IV) were identified to be the main oxidizing reactive species. Taking different selectivity of the reactive species to certain pollutant functional groups into consideration, the degradation pathways of 3,4-DMA were proposed. Moreover, it was shown that GR not only acted as the activating substance of the Fenton-like reaction, but also enhanced the activity of GOX, resulting in the promotion of glucose conversion in GGGMFs. This study shed light on the enhancement mechanism consisting of two aspects: (i) the elimination of product inhibition (ii) the formation of a 2Fe(III)-FAD complex with FAD, the active center of GOX, which prompted the electronic transfer in the enzyme catalytic reaction.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive chemodynamic therapy (CDT) mediated by nanozymes has been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically, but the low catalytic efficiency due to insufficient H2O2 in the TME and the poor biodegradability of the nanozymes are still main challenges for clinical translation of nanozymes. Herein, we designed a H2O2 self-supplying nanozyme bearing glucose oxidase (GOX) and polyethyleneimine based on a degradable iron-doped phosphate-based glass (FePBG) nanomimic (FePBG@GOX), which can convert endogenous glucose into toxic hydroxyl radicals. The GOX loaded on the nanozyme can effectively consume glucose in tumor cells to produce a large amount of H2O2 to make up for the lack of H2O2 in the TME. Thereafter, enormous hydroxyl radicals, based on a Fenton reaction of FePBG without any exogenous H2O2, are generated to induce severe apoptosis of tumor cells. The nanozyme exhibits enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity in a high-glucose medium than in a low-glucose medium, illustrating sufficient generation of H2O2 by GOX. The excellent in vivo antitumor efficacy is manifested by a high tumor growth inhibition ratio of 94.65% in model mice. Excellent intrinsic biodegradability owing to its phosphate-based glass nature is a remarkable advantage of the prepared FePBG nanozyme over most other reported nanozymes. Big concerns about side effects caused by long-time residence in living organisms are eliminated since it degrades not only in an acid medium but also in a neutral physiological environment. Therefore, this novel strategy of the TME-responsive H2O2 self-supplying nanozyme based on an endogenous cascade catalytic reaction opens up an avenue for designing degradable nanozymes in CDT.

Abstract
The unrestrained use of antibiotics accelerates the development of drug-resistant bacteria and leads to an increasing threat to human health. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore novel and effective strategies for the treatment of bacterial infections. Herein, zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) material was utilized to construct biomineralized nanomaterial (GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO) by encapsulating biological cascade enzymes and combining with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), which achieved effective and synergistic antidrug-resistant bacteria therapy. Various in vitro assays confirmed that GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO exhibited excellent antibacterial properties against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) during catalysis of glucose (Glu), especially the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against MRSA was only 16 μg/mL. Compared with simple ZIF-8 (32.85%) and ftsZ ASO (58.65%), GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO+Glu exhibited superb biofilm destruction ability, and the bacteria removal efficiency of the MRSA biofilm could be as high as 88.2%, indicating that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the cascade enzyme reaction imparted the main synergistic antibacterial capability, and simultaneously, ftsZ ASO significantly enhanced the antibacterial effect by inhibiting the expression of the ftsZ gene. In vivo anti-infection treatment experiments revealed that GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO exhibited the best wound repairing performance and excellent biocompatibility in the presence of Glu. These findings suggested that GOx&HRP@ZIF-8/ASO has favorably realized high-efficiency treatment of MRSA infection and filled the gap in the antibacterial application of biological enzymes.

Abstract
Exploiting zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF)-based nanoparticles to synergistically enhance starvation-combined chemotherapy strategies remains an urgent demand. Herein, glucose oxidase (GOX) and doxorubicin (DOX) were facilely incorporated into ZIFs for starvation-combined chemotherapy. The as-prepared DOX/GOX-loaded ZIF (DGZ) exhibited uniform size with good dispersity, effective protection of the GOX activity, and stable delivery of the drugs into tumor. Correspondingly, it could achieve the glucose- and pH-responsive degradation and thus the controllable drug release. As a result, the acidification of glucose accompanied with reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was observed for the starvation-enhanced chemotherapy and the improved degradation. Most importantly, adjustable Zn2+ release was achieved with the biodegradation of DGZ, which thus contributed to an augmented therapeutic outcome via the Zn2+-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and antioxidation dyshomeostasis. These findings, synergized with the enhancement of starvation-combined chemotherapy by inhibiting the mitochondrial energy metabolism and boosting the ROS accumulation using pristine ZIF-based nanoparticles, provide a new insight into the metal-organic framework-based nanomedicine for further cancer treatments.

Abstract
Wearable electronic medical devices measuring continuous biological signals for early disease diagnosis should be small and lightweight for consecutive usability. As a result, there has been an increasing need for new energy supply systems that provide continuous power without any interruption to the operation of the medical devices associated with the use of conventional batteries. In this work, we developed a patch-type self-charging supercapacitor that can measure biological signals with a continuous energy supply without batteries. The glucose oxidase coated on the surface of the microneedle-type glucose sensor encounters glucose in the interstitial fluids of the human body. Electrons created by glucose oxidation operate the self-powered system in which charging begins with the generation of potential differences in supercapacitor electrodes. In an 11 mM glucose solution, the self-powered solid-state supercapacitors (SPSCs) showed a power density of 0.62 mW/cm2, which resulted in self-charging of the supercapacitor. The power density produced by each SPSC with a drop of 11 mM glucose solution was higher than that produced by glucose-based biofuel cells. Consequently, the all-in-one self-powered glucose sensor, with the aid of an Arduino Uno board and appropriate programming, effectively distinguished normal, prediabetic, and diabetic levels from 0.5 mL of solutions absorbed in a laboratory skin model.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) MOF-Fe nanosols were prepared, which exhibits strongly catalysis of the new fluorescence indicator reaction of 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 to produce the oxidation product TMBOX. The TMBOX fluorescent probe has a strong fluorescence peak at 405 nm. After optimizing the various conditions for the determination of H2O2 system and glucose system, the linear range of fluorescence determination of H2O2 was 0.75-7.5 μM, and the detection limit was 0.3 μM. Since H2O2 is the product of glucose oxidase (GOD) catalyzed oxidation of glucose, and a simple and convenient fluorescence method was also established for glucose. The results show that the glucose concentration in the range of 0.2-20 μM has a good correlation with the fluorescence intensity, and the detection limit of glucose was 0.1 μM. This method has been used to detect the content of glucose in drinks with satisfactory results.

Abstract
As the vast majority of enzymes are glycosylated, lectins can serve as molecular glues to agglutinate multiple glycoenzymes for preparing multienzyme catalysts in an efficient and biocompatible way. Taking glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase as a model cascade, we describe in this protocol the coimmobilization of cascade glycoenzymes through lectin-mediated protein agglutination with and without magnetic nanoparticles as carriers.

Abstract
The methods of compartmentalized immobilization in multi-enzyme systems containing inorganic complexes and organic scaffolds (i.e. nucleic acid (RNA and DNA), protein and lipid) have been thoroughly investigated. Compartmentalization mostly focuses on dividing individual enzyme(s) into specific location or orientation of the enzymes cooperating in cascade reaction. Organic scaffolds are preferred because of their capability for simultaneous synthesis in biological systems. Besides, the most required methods of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and glucose oxidase (GOD) enzymes including enzyme activity measurement, enzyme immobilization, removal, and re-hybridization, and enzyme attaching have been provided because they have been extensively applied in multi-enzyme systems. Organic scaffolds have a wide range and properties. Therefore, two methods including dockerin-cohesin linker and nucleotides interaction have been demonstrated for immobilization of enzyme on protein and DNA scaffold, respectively.

Abstract
Heavy metal detection is critical due to its harmful effects on human health and the ecosystem. Enzyme-based platforms attract attention for heavy metal detection such as silver, a toxic metal, due to being small, portable, and requiring only essential equipment compared with the basic analytical methods. In this study, magnetic cross-linked invertase aggregates (MCLIA) were developed for the first time as an enzyme-based signaling platform to detect Ag+ using a personal glucose meter (PGM). EDX, FTIR, and VSM results depicted that MCLIA was successfully developed and exhibits super-paramagnetism. In addition, MCLIA selectively detected the Ag+ at a sensitivity of 1.2 inhibition rate/μM in a linear range from 5 to 70 μM with a detection limit of 4.6 μM and IC50 value of 42.3 μM. These findings strongly indicate that MCLIA is applicable as a signal platform for portable quantification of other analytes that inhibits the invertase enzyme.
