Nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity have been extensively studied for colorimetric biosensing. However, their catalytic activity and specificity still lag far behind those of natural enzymes, which significantly affects the accuracy and sensitivity of colorimetric biosensing. To address this issue, we design PdSn nanozymes with selectively enhanced peroxidase-like activity, which improves the sensitivity and accuracy of a colorimetric immunoassay. The peroxidase-like activity of PdSn nanozymes is significantly higher than that of Pd nanozymes. Theoretical calculations reveal that the p-d orbital hybridization of Pd and Sn not only results in an upward shift of the d-band center to enhance hydrogen peroxide (HO) adsorption but also regulates the O-O bonding strength of HO to achieve selective HO activation. Ultimately, the nanozyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been successfully developed to sensitively and accurately detect the prostate-specific antigen (PSA), achieving a low detection limit of 1.696 pg mL. This work demonstrates a promising approach for detecting PSA in a clinical diagnosis.
具有过氧化物酶样活性的纳米酶在比色生物传感中得到了广泛的研究。然而,它们的催化活性和特异性仍然远远落后于天然酶,这显著影响了比色生物传感的准确性和灵敏度。为了解决这个问题,我们设计了具有选择性增强过氧化物酶样活性的 PdSn 纳米酶,提高了比色免疫分析的灵敏度和准确性。PdSn 纳米酶的过氧化物酶样活性明显高于 Pd 纳米酶。理论计算表明,Pd 和 Sn 的 p-d 轨道杂化不仅导致 d 带中心向上移动,从而增强过氧化氢(HO)的吸附,还调节 HO 的 O-O 键合强度,实现选择性的 HO 活化。最终,成功开发了基于纳米酶的免疫分析方法,用于灵敏和准确地检测前列腺特异性抗原(PSA),检测限低至 1.696 pg mL。这项工作为临床诊断中检测 PSA 提供了一种有前景的方法。
