Nanozymes are considered to represent a new era of antibacterial agents, while their antibacterial efficiency is limited by the increasing tissue depth of infection. To address this issue, here, we report a copper and silk fibroin (Cu-SF) complex strategy to synthesize alternative copper single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) with atomically dispersed copper sites anchored on ultrathin 2D porous N-doped carbon nanosheets (CuN
x
-CNS) and tunable N coordination numbers in the CuN
x
sites (
x
= 2 or 4). The CuN
x
-CNS SAzymes inherently possess triple peroxidase (POD)-, catalase (CAT)-, and oxidase (OXD)-like activities, facilitating the conversion of H
2
O
2
and O
2
into reactive oxygen species (ROS) through parallel POD- and OXD-like or cascaded CAT- and OXD-like reactions. Compared to CuN
2
-CNS, tailoring the N coordination number from 2 to 4 endows the SAzyme (CuN
4
-CNS) with higher multienzyme activities due to its superior electron structure and lower energy barrier. Meanwhile, CuN
x
-CNS display strong absorption in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biowindow with deeper tissue penetration, offering NIR-II-responsive enhanced ROS generation and photothermal treatment in deep tissues. The in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that the optimal CuN
4
-CNS can effectively inhibit multidrug-resistant bacteria and eliminate stubborn biofilms, thus exhibiting high therapeutic efficacy in both superficial skin wound and deep implant-related biofilm infections.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
