The catalytic diversity of heme enzymes is a perpetuating pursuit for biomimetic chemistry, but heme nanozymes exhibit catalytic activity only reminiscent of peroxidases. Miraculously, the oxidase-like catalytic function of a heme cofactor is elicited with the help of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by maintaining heme with a low-valence state (ferrous) in a confined configuration.
血红素酶的催化多样性是仿生化学不断追求的目标,但血红素纳米酶仅表现出类似于过氧化物酶的催化活性。神奇的是,通过在受限构象中保持低氧化态(亚铁),血红素辅因子的氧化酶样催化功能在金纳米粒子(AuNPs)的帮助下被激发。
