Abstract
Mimicking enzyme have significantly advanced sensing assays by replicating native enzyme functions, yet achieving both high catalytic activity and easy recyclability remains a challenge. In this study, Ag-doped MnFe2O4/halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were rationally designed as a novel nanozyme by depositing in-situ Ag and MnFe2O4 nanoparticles onto HNTs. The resulting nanocomposite exhibited excellent peroxidase-like activity along with magnetic properties. Leveraging these features, a highly efficient and sensitive colorimetric system for detecting uric acid (UA) was developed. The Ag-doped MnFe2O4/HNTs catalyzed the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine in the presence of H2O2, causing a color change from colorless to blue. The system showed a linear absorbance response to UA concentrations ranging from 1 to 20 μM, with a detection limit of 59 nM. Mechanistic studies revealed that reactive oxygen species intermediates (1O2) were generated through the decomposition of H2O2, leading to peroxidase-like activity in the Ag-doped MnFe2O4/HNTs. The assay was successfully applied to detect UA in human serum with recoveries over 99.68 %. This study indicates the successful application of Ag-doped MnFe2O4/HNTs for colorimetric UA detection in human serum. This research introduces a novel approach for designing recyclable, high-performance mimicking enzyme and establishes an effective colorimetric sensing platform for UA detection in human serum.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
