Abstract
Both single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) and protein-template metal nanoparticles have attracted comprehensive attention in several respects owing to their excellent catalytic performance, green facile synthesis process, and robustness. Herein, the peroxidase-like activity of single-atom copper anchored on bovine hemoglobin-template gadolinium nanoparticles (Cu,Gd@BHbFITC NPs) were successfully synthesized and two sensitive turn-on fluorescence strategies for tyrosinase (TYR) activity sensing were proposed for the first time. For strategy Ⅰ, TYR sensing was carried out from 1.00 to 7.80 U/mL with the detection limit (LOD) of 0.20 U/mL based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and the in situ generated polydopamine dots (PDA-dots). For strategy Ⅱ, The LOD of TYR was 0.05 U/mL with the linear range of 0.40–19.70 U/mL based on the elimination of inner-filter effect (IEF) between FITC and the reaction product (RC) of phenol and 4-Aminoantipyrine (AAP). The smartphone-assisted sensing platform was applied to construct the on-site detection of TYR with both strategies. The developed probe possessed good selectivity and was successfully utilized to TYR detection in serum samples.
