ABSTRACT
Nanozymes are nanoscale materials that exhibit enzymatic-like activity, combining the benefits of nanomaterials with biocatalytic effects. The addition of metals to nanomaterials can enhance their nanozyme activity by mimicking the active sites of enzymes, providing structural support and promoting redox activity. In this study, nanostructured oxide and silicate-phosphate nanomaterials with varying manganese and copper additions were characterized. The objective was to assess the influence of metal modifications (Mn and Cu) on the acquisition of the nanozymatic activity by selected nanomaterials. An increase in manganese content in each material enhanced proteolytic activity (from 20 to 40 mUnit/mg for BG-Mn), while higher copper addition in glassy materials increased activity by 40%. Glassy materials exhibited approximately twice the 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radical activity (around 40 µmol/mL) compared to that of oxide materials. The proteolytic and antioxidant activities discussed in the study can be considered indicators for evaluating the enzymatic properties of the nanomaterials. Observations conducted on nanomaterials may aid in the development of materials with enhanced catalytic efficiency and a wide range of applications.
