Abstract

Nanozymes are nanomaterial-based artificial enzymes. By effectively mimicking catalytic sites of natural enzymes or harboring multivalent elements for reactions, nanozyme systems have successfully served as direct surrogates of traditional enzymes for catalysis. With the rapid development and ever-deepening understanding of nanotechnology, nanozymes offer higher catalytic stability, ease of modification and lower manufacturing cost than protein enzymes. Additionally, nanozymes possess inherent nanomaterial properties, providing not only a simple substitute of enzymes but also a multimodal platform interfacing complex biologic environments. Recent extensive research has focused on designing various nanozyme…
