Abstract
Gold- and MnO2- nanozymes are well-known for their enzyme-like activity. In this regard, initially, gold- and MnO2- nanozymes were synthesized by simple and green methods. Afterward, the kinetic studies were performed using the Michaelis–Menten model for both gold- and MnO2- nanozymes. The kinetic parameters including Km and Vmax were calculated via the construction of the linear plot of Lineweaver–Burk for both nanozymes. The results showed a Vmax and Km of 185 nM sec-1 and 47 nM sec-1 for the gold- and MnO2- nanozymes, in order. The ratio of Vmax(gold)/Vmax(MnO2) was found to be about 4.0 which pointed that the catalytic efficiency of gold-nanozymes is 4.0-fold higher than the catalytic efficiency of MnO2- nanozymes. The Km value was found to be 0.72 mM and 1.6 mM for the as-prepared gold- and MnO2- nanozymes, respectively, and the Km of MnO2-nanozymes is 2.2-fold higher than that of gold nanozymes. Since the Km shows the affinity of substrate for binding to nanozyme active nodes (lower Km=higher affinity), it is consultable that the substrate affinity toward MnO2-nanozymes is 2.2-fold lower than that of the gold-nanozymes. Considering the above results, the as-prepared gold nanozymes are very stronger peroxidase-like mimics than the metal oxide MnO2-nanozymes.
