Abstract

Accurate control of charge transfer is crucial to investigate the catalytic reaction mechanism of the biological oxidation process that biomedicine participates in. Herein, we have established an assembly model of metalloporphyrin framework (MPF) nanosheets as the active centers of biological enzymes. The introduction of Vitamin C (VC) into the MPF system can precisely modulate its content of charges. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering activity and peroxidase-like catalytic performance are enhanced simultaneously for the first time by manipulating the optimal molar ratio of an MPF to VC and the reaction sequence with target model molecules. We have confirmed that the formation of the intermediate of Fe(2+)-OOH species is specifically enhanced after VC modulation, which indicates that VC can regulate the oxidative stress of the active center of biological enzymes. This discovery not only accurately resolves the mechanism of VC-selective anticancer therapy but also has important significance for the precise treatment of VC synergistic targeting medicines.
