a

[E] is the concentration of nanozyme. The particle number of Au@PtRu or Au@Pt nanozyme is calculated using the density and diameter of the Au-rod core. Dividing the particle number by the Avogadro constant gives the molar concentration of the nanozyme. Km: Michaelis constant; Vmax: maximal reaction velocity; kcat: catalytic constant; kcat/Km: catalytic efficiency.
