Sensitive colorimetric detection of heparin using reverse modulation of peroxidase- and oxidase-mimetic activities in Fe3O4@PDA@MnO2 nanocomposites
Heparin, a widely studied glycosaminoglycan, plays crucial roles in the regulation of various physiological and pathological processes. Therefore, it's important to develop highly selective and sensitive methods for convenient monitoring of heparin levels in biological systems. We report the design and synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 @PDA@MnO 2 nanoparticles (FPM-NPs), which exhibit dual enzymatic activities, enabling quantitative detection of heparin. The FPM-NPs feature a unique tri-layer spherical shell structure, possessing both peroxidase-like and oxidase-like activities, and catalyze the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence or absence of H 2 O 2 . Remarkably, upon co-incubated with heparin, the oxidase activity of FPM-NPs decreases, while the peroxidase activity increases. By leveraging these dual enzymatic properties of FPM-NPs, a highly sensitive and specific colorimetric detection of heparin is achieved, with a detection limit reaching 6.51 nM and a good linear response to quantify heparin ranging 10–800 nM. Additionally, the developed FPM-NPs are successfully applied to measure heparin in fetal bovine serum samples. We also extend this detection method to a paper-based chip, enabling portable detection of heparin through grayscale analysis of mobile phone photographs. The multi-nanozyme-based heparin detection approach provides a new perspective for future research on expanding the application of nanocomposite materials in biomedical detection and analysis.
