Coordination-Driven One-Step Rapid Self-Assembly Synthesis of Dual-Functional Ag@Pt Nanozyme.

Realizing high-precise and adjustable regulation of engineering nanozyme is important in nanotechnology. Here, Ag@Pt nanozymes with excellent peroxidase-like and antibacterial effects are designed and synthesized by nucleic acid and metal ions coordination-driven one-step rapid self-assembly. The adjustable NA-Ag@Pt nanozyme is synthesized within 4 min using single-stranded nucleic acid as templates, and peroxidase-like enhancing FNA-Ag@Pt nanozyme is received by regulating functional nucleic acids (FNA) based on NA-Ag@Pt nanozyme. Both Ag@Pt nanozymes that are developed not only has simple and general synthesis approaches, but also can produce artificial precise adjustment and possess dual-functional. Moreover, when lead ion-specific aptamers as FNA are introduced to NA-Ag@Pt nanozyme, the Pb aptasensor is successfully constructed by increasing electron conversion efficiency and improving the specificity of nanozyme. In addition, both nanozyme has good antibacterial properties, with ~100% and ~85% antibacterial efficiency against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. This work provides a synthesis method of novelty dual-functional Ag@Pt nanozymes and successful application in metal ions detection and antibacterial agents.
