Mimicking a Natural Enzyme System: Cytochrome c Oxidase-Like Activity of Cu2O Nanoparticles by Receiving Electrons from Cytochrome c
Abstract
Inorganic nanomaterials-based artificial enzymes (nanozymes) have received considerable attention over the past years. However, the substrates studied for nanozymes have so far been limited to small organic molecules. The catalytic oxidation of biomacromolecules, such as proteins, by nanozymes has not yet been reported to date. In this study, we report that cuprous oxide nanoparticles (Cu2O NPs) possess cytochrome c oxidase (CcO)-like activity...
