Nevertheless, the inherent defects of natural enzymes (e.g., unattractive robustness, sensitivity, and reproducibility under severe catalytic environments) have limited their wider employment. Here, a self-cascade nanozyme was synthesized via depositing Au quantum dots (Au QDs) on iron ions and cysteine-doped porphyrin covalent organic framework (Fe@cpCOF). The in situ introduction of cysteine created a beneficial microenvironment around the iron-porphyrin catalytic center, facilitating the activity of the nanozyme. Through the regulation of Au QDs deposition amount on the surface of Fe@cpCOF, the synthetic nanozyme not only possessed robust glucose oxidase (GOx) mimicking activity but also demonstrated promoted peroxidase (POD) mimicking activity. In the self-cascade system, the innocuous glucose could be constantly transformed to sufficient gluconic acid and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> by Au QDs, preventing the direct application of noxious H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and reducing the detrimental by-effects. In addition, the product gluconic acid decreases the pH of the microenvironment, significantly activating the POD-like bioactivity of Fe@cpCOF. The obtained Au-Fe@cpCOF nanozyme was utilized to simulate the multi-step biocatalytic process in nature, thus constructing an enzyme-free self-cascade biocatalytic sensing platform for specific and wide-spectrum analysis of live bacteria.

By doping with natural polysaccharides, this new type of MOFs not only endows the material with biocompatibility and flexibility, but also provides a new dimension for regulating its catalytic performance.
