Abstract

Nanozymes are a novel form of synthetic enzymes that consist of nanoparticles and exhibit similar properties to natural enzymes. They are more advanced and easier to produce. These nanozymes are grouped into four categories: metal-based, metal oxide-based, carbon-based, and single-atom-based nanozymes. They can be easily prepared using simple methods and are cost-effective. Nanozymes can be affected by various factors. They are commonly employed as biosensors, in bioimaging, and as anti-microbial agents. Nanozymes are a promising new class of artificial enzymes that are made up of nanoparticles and exhibit similar properties to natural enzymes. These innovative enzymes offer several advantages over traditional enzymes, such as being more advanced, cost-effective, and easier to produce. Nanozymes can be classified into four categories: metal-based, metal oxide-based, carbon-based, and single-atom-based nanozymes. They can be easily prepared using simple methods and can be tailored to specific applications. Nanozymes have a wide range of potential uses, including as biosensors, in bioimaging, and as anti-microbial agents. As research into nanozymes continues to expand, it is expected that they will play an increasingly important role in various fields, such as medicine, biotechnology, and environmental science.
