Abstract
Multienzyme assemblies mediated by multivalent interaction play a crucial role in cellular processes. However, the three-dimensional (3D) programming of an enzyme complex with defined enzyme activity in vitro remains unexplored, primarily owing to limitations in precisely controlling the spatial topological configuration. Herein, we introduce a nanoscale 3D enzyme assembly using a tetrahedral DNA framework (TDF), enabling the replication of spatial topological configuration and maintenance of an identical edge-to-edge distance akin to natural enzymes. Our results demonstrate that 3D nanoscale enzyme assemblies in both two-enzyme systems (glucose oxidase (GOx)/horseradish peroxidase (HRP)) and three-enzyme systems (amylglucosidase (AGO)/GOx/HRP) lead to enhanced cascade catalytic activity compared to the low-dimensional structure, resulting in ∼5.9- and ∼7.7-fold enhancements over homogeneous diffusional mixtures of free enzymes, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrate the enzyme assemblies for the detection of the metabolism biomarkers creatinine and creatine, achieving a low limit of detection, high sensitivity, and broad detection range.
