Abstract

The development of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based antibacterial strategies that overcome ROS's ultrashort diffusion distance and disrupt bacterial electron transfer represents a promising yet underexplored avenue for nonantibiotic therapies. In this study, we introduce an iron-copper bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) with peroxidase (POD)-like enzymatic activity engineered to integrate dual functionalities: bactericidal recognition and electron transfer disruption to synergistically enhance antibacterial efficacy. Mechanistic investigations reveal that boronic-acid-cis-diol interactions enable the MOF to selectively bind to bacterial membranes, where it generates localized ROS, effectively killing…
