A novel artificial peroxisome candidate based on nanozyme with excellent catalytic performance for biosensing
Abstract
Artificial peroxisome is of critical importance to supersede natural peroxisome in fabricating protocell system and disease treatment. Nevertheless, developing feasible artificial peroxisome with various stable functions remains a monumental challenge. Nanozyme with multiple enzyme-like activities can mimic natural enzymes in peroxisome, which make it a prospective candidate for artificial peroxisome design. Herein, we prepared a nanozyme with multiple peroxisomal-like activities - Pd nanoparticles functionalized nitrogen-doped porous carbon-reduced graphene oxide (PdNPs/N-PC-rGO). Due to its sandwich-like structure, the incorporation of N heteroatoms and the synergistic effect between PdNPs and N-PC-rGO bi-support, the PdNPs/N-PC-rGO exhibited triple peroxisomal-like activities including oxidase (OXD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), leading it a promising alternative for artificial peroxisome exploration. Furthermore, the PdNPs/N-PC-rGO showed high electrocatalytic activity, which could be employed for the detection of electrochemical active substances reduced glutathione (GSH). The PdNPs/N-PC-rGO modified electrode displayed a wide concentration range from 70 nM to 1500 μM, with a very low detection limit of 9.8 nM (S/N = 3). Therefore, PdNPs/N-PC-rGO was a promising nanozyme for various biotechnological applications such as artificial organelles, biosensing, cytoprotection, disease diagnosis and treatment.
