In this work, mesoporous silica nanoparticles-functionalized by copper (Cu-MSN) was prepared as a new artificial enzyme for the first time through the sol-gel procedure. A comprehensive investigation of the catalytic activity of Cu-MSN was done through the oxidation of chromogenic peroxidase substrates,3,3′,5,5′- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and (2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS), in the presence of H2O2. The results indicate that the peroxidase-like activity of the as-prepared sample is significantly higher than other nanoparticles. Additionally, for the study, a facile and rapid sensing method based on the enzyme-like activity of Cu-MSN to detect H2O2 and glutathione (GSH) was developed to exami...

In this study, a porous coordination network (denoted as PCN-222) was synthesized as a new biomimetic material from an iron linked tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (named as Fe-TCPP) as a heme-like ligand and Zr6 linker as a node. This catalyst shows the peroxidase and catalase activities clearly. The mechanism of peroxidase activity for PCN-222 was investigated using the spectrophotometric methods and its activity was compared with the other nanoparticles which, the results showed a higher activity than the other catalysts. Also, the hydrogen peroxide was detected by PCN-222(Fe) based on the peroxidase-like activity. For detection of hydrogen peroxide a linear range of 3-200 μM and detection of limit (LOD) 1 μM (3σ/slope), under optimal conditions were obtained. Moreover, based on the high tendency of PCN-222(Fe) to combine with the TMB as a chromogenic substrate in the peroxidase-like activity, we developed the sensitive and selective colorimetric assay for glucose detection that was found a detection limit (LOD) of 2.2 μM in the linear range from 12 to 75 μM. Finally due to the good catalytic activity of PCN-222(Fe), it was used to detection of glucose and hydrogen peroxide in real samples.

Compound 1 is a discrete mononuclear complex, compound 2 consists of infinite onedimensional zigzag chains and compound 3 displays a two-dimensional coordination polymer, uninodal shubnikov tetragonal plane network with (44_62) point symbol. Compound 3 exhibits strong fluorescence emission upon excitation at room temperature. In addition, gas sensing property of compound 3 as a thin film on one side of double sided tap on the glass substrate have also been discussed.

Suicide inactivation of horseradish peroxidase by hydrogen peroxide(3 mM) was monitored by the absorbance change in product formation in the catalytic reaction cycle. The progress curve of the catalytic reaction cycle was obtained at 278C and phosphate buffer 2.5 mM ðpH ¼ 7:0Þ: The corresponding kinetic parameters i.e., intact enzyme activity (a i); the apparent rate constant of suicide inactivation by peroxide (k i); and the apparent rate constants of enzyme deactivation by surfactant (k d) were evaluated from the obtained kinetic equations. The experimental data are accounted for by the equations used in this investigation. Addition of SDS to the reaction mixture intensified the inactivation process. The deactivation ability of denaturant could be resolved from the observed inactivation effect of the suicide substrate by applying the proposed model. The results indicate that the deactivation and the inactivation processes are independent of each other.

Concentrations of substrates were so selected that: 1) the reaction was first-order in relation to benign substrate, AH and 2) high ratio of suicide substrate to the benign substrate, [H 2 O 2 ]. .[AH]. Validation and reliability of the obtained kinetic equations were evaluated in various nonlinear and linear forms. Fitting of experimental data into the obtained integrated equation showed a close match between the kinetic model and the experimental results. Indeed, a similar mechanism to horseradish peroxidase was found for the suicide-peroxide inactivation of MP-11. Kinetic parameters of inactivation including the intact activity of MP-11, a i , and the apparent inactivation rate constant, k i , were obtained as 0.282^0.006 min 21 and 0.497^0.013 min 21 at [H 2 O 2 ] ¼ 1.0 mM, 278C, phosphate buffer 5.0 mM, pH ¼ 7.0. Results showed that inactivation of microperoxidase as a peroxidase model enzyme can occur even at low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (0.4 mM).

The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, TEM and nitrogen sorption methods. With a constant Si/Zn ratio, the increase of cobalt species from 1 to 7 wt% led to decrease the catalysts surface area from 408 m2g-1 for CZ-1-MSN to 322 m2g-1 for CZ-7-MSN. The catalyst activities were investigated for Schiff base synthesis by the reaction of cyclohexanone with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine under UV irradiation. The activity of the catalysts in the Schiff base synthesis followed the order of Zn-MSN-10 < CZ-1-MSN < CZ-7-MSN < CZ-3-MSN < CZ-5-MSN. The CZ-5-MSN sample exhibited the highest performance with the conversion and selectivity of cyclohexanone to the Schiff base product were 98 and 97%, respectively, under UV light at 298 K for 10 min.

These nanocomposites were mainly composed of MSN with the leading of Al and PEI species alone or combination. The Al-MSN, MSN-PEI, and Al-MSN/PEI samples were characterized by using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDX, zeta potential, and nitrogen physisorption techniques. The potential of their RNA delivery was investigated by loading and releasing of the siRNA in the phosphate buffer. The obtained results showed that the loading capacity of each sample is directly related to its zeta potential. The Al-MSN/PEI sample showed the highest siRNA adsorption capacity due to the possessing the highest zeta potential resulted the presence of the high electric charge of Al3+ and cationic nature of PEI. Under the optimized conditions, the Al-MSN/PEI sample showed the amount of 47.19 µg adsorption of siRNA for 1.0 mg ...
