Biological Applications of Nanozymes

Nanozymes in Medicine

Abstract

Following the discovery of the peroxidase activity of ferromagnetic nanoparticles in 2007, nanozymes, which are artificial nanomaterials exhibiting enzymatic properties, have been rapidly developped to overcome the limitations of natural enzymes. Here we review nanozyme classification and applications such as immunoassay, biosensor, disease imaging and therapy. We discuss optimized protocols for production, the catalytic mechanism, standardized performance assessment, and toxicity.
