Abstract
Various nanomaterials with peroxidase activity (nanozyme) have been designed for bio catalysis and biosensing, however, most of them need further design and modification of probe molecules for the specific binding reaction with targets. This results in a decrease in catalysis activity and hinders them to be perfect alternatives to natural enzyme in biosensing. In this work, an enhanced nanozyme was synthesized by functionalizing natural microperoxidase-11 (MP-11) on a hybrid graphene oxide-gold (GO-Au) material. The designed nanozyme showed an enhanced catalysis activity and realized a robust and efficient colorimetric detection of cysteine based on specific binding reaction between active iron center from MP-11 and thiol in cysteine. The enhanced properties show promising applications of complex nanozyme and provides a great opportunity for developing efficient sensing systems.
