Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) open new possibilities for the development of artificial enzymes that have catalytic activity comparable to that of natural peroxidase (POD). So far, most efforts have focused on the structural modulation of the Fe-N moiety to mimic the metalloprotein heme center. However, non-heme-iron POD with much higher activity, for example, HppE, has not been mimicked successfully due to its structural complexity. Herein, carbon dots (CDs)-supported SAzymes with twisted, nonplanar Fe-ON active sites, highly similar to the non-heme iron center of HppE, was synthesized by exploiting disordered and subnanoscale domains in CDs. The Fe-CDs exhibit an excellent POD activity of 750 units/mg, surpassing the values of conventional SAzymes with planar Fe-N. We further fabricated an activatable Fe-CDs-based therapeutic agent with near-infrared enhanced POD activity, a photothermal effect, and tumor-targeting ability. Our results represent a big step in the design of high-performance SAzymes and provide guidance for future applications for synergistic tumor therapy.
单原子纳米酶(SAzymes)为开发具有与天然过氧化物酶(POD)相当催化活性的人工酶开辟了新的可能性。到目前为止,大多数努力都集中在对Fe-N部分进行结构调控以模拟金属蛋白血红素中心。然而,具有更高活性的非血红素铁POD,例如HppE,由于其结构复杂性尚未被成功模拟。在此,通过利用碳点(CDs)中无序和亚纳米级域合成了具有扭曲、非平面Fe-ON活性位点的CDs负载SAzymes,该活性位点与HppE的非血红素铁中心高度相似。Fe-CDs表现出750单位/毫克的优异POD活性,超过了具有平面Fe-N的传统SAzymes的值。我们进一步制备了一种基于Fe-CDs的可激活治疗剂,其具有近红外增强的POD活性、光热效应和肿瘤靶向能力。我们的结果代表了高性能SAzymes设计中的一大步,并为协同肿瘤治疗的未来应用提供了指导。
