Tuning Local Coordination Environments of Manganese Single-Atom Nanozymes with Multi-Enzyme Properties for Selective Colorimetric Biosensing

초록

Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) are promising in next-generation nanozymes, nevertheless, how to rationally modulate the microenvironment of SAzymes with controllable multi-enzyme properties is still challenging. Herein, we systematically investigate the relationship between atomic configuration and multi-enzymatic performances. The constructed MnSA−N3-coordinated SAzymes (MnSA−N3−C) exhibits much more remarkable oxidase-, peroxidase-, and glutathione oxidase-like activities than that of MnSA−N4−C. Based on experimental and theoretical results, these multi-enzyme-like behaviors are highly dependent on the coordination number of single atomic Mn sites by local charge polarization. As a consequence, a series of colorimetric biosensing platforms based on MnSA−N3−C SAzymes is successfully built for specific recognition of biological molecules. These findings provide atomic-level insight into the microenvironment of nanozymes, promoting rational design of other demanding biocatalysts. © 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
