Abstract
- In this study, a copper hexacyanoferrate nanoparticle with excellent oxidase-mimetic behaviour has been synthesized through a simple precipitation method. The synthesized copper hexacyanoferrate nanoparticle has intrinsic oxidase-like activity, which can catalyze the chromogenic reaction of 2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate) through an O2•− reactive oxygen-species-participated process. On the other hand, K3[Fe(CN)6] can be reduced by ascorbic acid (AA) to produce K4[Fe(CN)6], thereby inhibiting the formation of the copper hexacyanoferrate nanoparticles. Furthermore, ascorbate oxidase (AAO) can catalyze the oxidation of AA to produce dehydroascorbic acid, which cannot reduce K3[Fe(CN)6]. Thus, a system for an AAO-regulated in situ formation of copper hexacyanoferrate nanoparticles was constructed by coupling a prepared copper hexacyanoferrate nanozyme with AA for the detection of AAO activity. This colorimetric sensing assay shows high sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of AAO activity (the limit of detection is 0.52 U/L) with a linear range of 1.1–35.7 U/L. Finally, the developed method was applied to detect the activity of AAO in normal human serum with a satisfactory sample spiked recovery (87.4–108.8%). In short, this study provides a good strategy for the construction of nanozyme-based multi-enzyme cascade-signal amplification assay.
