Nanozymes and Their Application Progress in Biomedical Detection

As a kind of biocatalyst with high specificity, natural enzymes can be applied in recognition and detection by selective catalysis. However, the high cost and easy inactivation limit their practical applications. Nanozyme is a kind of nanomaterial which can mimic enzyme-like properties via the instinct ability and has the advantages of low cost, stable performance and wide applications. The biomedical detection based on nanozymes with high sensitivity, excellent specificity and low limit of detection is promising. In this paper, several main types of nanozymes were summarized, followed by the introduction of their research progress in biomedical detection. The outlook of nanozymes in biomedical detection was also proposed at the end of this paper.
