Abstract
Nanozymes have been emerging as substitutes for natural enzymes to construct biosensors towards biomolecular detection. However, the detection of glutathione (GSH) by nanozyme-based biosensors still remains agreat challenge for research on catalytic activity enhancement and thedetection mechanism. In this work, Sb-doped iron oxychloride (Sb-FeOCl) with awell-defined nanorod-like structure is prepared by high-temperature calcination. Sb-FeOCl nanorods have high peroxidase-like activity, which can catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 into ·OH and then oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). In view of these intriguing observations, a reliable colorimetric method with a simple mixing and detection strategy is developed for the detection of GSH. The linear range of GSH detection is 1-36μM. The detection limit of GSH reaches a low level of 0.495μM (3σ/slope). The GSH sensing system also exhibits excellent specificity and anti-interference. Taking advantage of the advantages of theSb-FeOCl nanorod-based biosensor, it can be used to quantitatively detect GSH levels in human serum. It can be anticipated that the Sb-FeOCl nanorods have broad prospects in the field of enzymatic biochemical reactions.
