Abstract:Compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes usually exhibit much lower catalytic activities, which limit the sensitivities of nanozyme-based immunoassays. Herein, several metal ions without enzyme-like activities were engineered onto Uio-66-NH 2 nanozyme through postsynthetic modification. The obtained M n+ @Uio-66-NH 2 (M n+ = Zn 2+ , Cd 2+ , Co 2+ , Ca 2+ and Ni 2+ ) exhibited improved phosphatase-like catalytic activities. In particular, a 12-fold increase in the catalytic efficiency (k cat /K m ) of Uio-66-NH… Show more
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.
