H2O2 | 1.5 × 10−6 | 0.23 × 103 | 4.0 × 105 | 17.4 × 102 | ||
Au@Pt | 32.5 × 10−6 | TMB | 5.5 × 10−7 | 0.45 | 1.5 × 105 | 3.3 × 105 |
H2O2 | 1.4 × 10−6 | 1.2 × 103 | 3.7 × 105 | 3.1 × 102 |
[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.
