Nanozymes are of particular interest due to their enzyme-mimicking activity and high stability that are favorable in biomedical sensing and immunoassays. In this work, we report a highly specific N-doped nanozyme through pyrolysis of framework-confined bovine serum albumin (BSA). This strategy allows one to translate the low-cost and featureless BSA into a highly active enzyme mimic. The obtained carbon nanozyme (denoted as HBF-1-C800) displays 3- to 7-fold enhancement on peroxidase (POD) activity compared with the conventional carbon nanozymes and also shows ca. 5-fold activity enhancement compared to the reported N-doping graphene. Such excellent POD activity originates from high N-doping efficiency, protein-induced defective sites, and the intrinsic porous structure of HBF-1-C800, which provides abundantly accessible active sites and accelerates substrate diffusion simultaneously. Importantly, the HBF-1-C800 nanozyme has highly specific POD activity and also enables resistance to several harsh conditions that should denature natural enzymes. These features allow it with high accuracy, stability, and sensitivity for biosensing applications. Moreover, HBF-1-C800 has been designed as a promising platform for colorimetric biosensing of several biomarkers including HO, glutathione, and glucose, with wide linear ranges and low limits of detection that are satisfied with the disease diagnosis.
纳米酶因其模拟酶的活性和高稳定性而备受关注,这使其在生物医学传感和免疫分析中具有优势。在这项工作中,我们通过框架限制的牛血清白蛋白(BSA)的热解报告了一种高特异性的 N 掺杂纳米酶。这种策略可以将低成本且无特征的 BSA 转化为高活性的酶模拟物。所获得的碳纳米酶(表示为 HBF-1-C800)与传统的碳纳米酶相比,过氧化物酶(POD)活性提高了 3-7 倍,与报道的 N 掺杂石墨烯相比,也提高了约 5 倍。这种优异的 POD 活性源于高 N 掺杂效率、蛋白质诱导的缺陷位以及 HBF-1-C800 的固有多孔结构,这同时提供了丰富的可及活性位点并加速了底物扩散。重要的是,HBF-1-C800 纳米酶具有高度特异性的 POD 活性,并且能够抵抗几种苛刻条件,这些苛刻条件会使天然酶变性。这些特性使其在生物传感应用中具有高精度、高稳定性和高灵敏度。此外,HBF-1-C800 已被设计为用于包括 HO、谷胱甘肽和葡萄糖在内的几种生物标志物的比色生物传感的有前途的平台,具有广泛的线性范围和低检测限,满足疾病诊断的要求。
