Abstract:
... In this work, 2-methylimidazole (MI) was doped into the Bpy-Cu nanozyme as a second ligand to form a novel laccase-mimicking enzyme (MI-Bpy-Cu). By comparison, MI-Bpy-Cu nanozyme was identified to have excellent laccase-mimicking activity, high stability and catalytic kinetic properties. It may be that the incorporation of 2-methylimidazole helped the nanozymes to build a structure closer to natur ...
