Abstract
Although nanocatalysts have advanced highly sensitive immunoassays for low-abundance proteins, the nonspecific catalytic reactions cause high background signals and notable false-positive issues, hindering their further application. Herein, through an asymmetric coordination field modulation strategy, we rationally designed and synthesized an Fe–N 3 S single-atom nanozyme with a unique peroxidase (POD) catalytic pathway. Specifically, the Fe–N 3 S nanozyme exhibited high POD-like activity (26.82 U mg –1 ) and low oxidase (OXD)-like activity (0.018 U mg –1 ), whereas Fe–N 4 nanozymes showed the opposite trend (7.68 U mg –1 for POD-like, 0.19 U mg –1 for OXD-like). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations…
