Enzyme-immobilized metal–organic framework nanosheets as tandem catalysts for the generation of nitric oxide

An enzyme-immobilized metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet system was developed as a tandem catalyst, which converted glucose into gluconic acid and H2O2, and sequentially the latter could be used to catalyze the oxidation of l-arginine to generate nitric oxide in the presence of porphyrinic MOFs as artificial enzymes under physiological pH, showing great potential in cancer depleting glucose for starving-like/gas therapy.
