“…The mechanism of NTP affecting Pr 6 O 11 NRs in oxidizing ABTS was probably due to the coordination and hydrolysis of NTP on Pr 6 O 11 (Figure e). Due to the high oxygen mobility of Pr 6 O 11 , , as well as abundant defects on the nanorod surface, including oxygen vacancies and Pr 3+ /Pr 4+ , Pr 6 O 11 was able to catalyze the oxidation of ABTS efficiently. , It is well known that attachment of nucleic acids can modulate functionalities of nanozymes such as Fe 3 O 4 , CeO 2 , etc. , Many mechanisms, sometimes seemingly contradictory, have been proposed to account for the effects of nucleic acid on tuning oxidase-like activities . Here, we believe the boosting effect of NTP was due to its hydrolysis on Pr 6 O 11 NRs and the consequential free energy release (Δ G ) from it (Figure e).…”
