Nanomaterials mimicking natural enzymes with superior catalytic activity and selectivity

(The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)) A KAIST research team doped nitrogen and boron into graphene to selectively increase peroxidase-like activity and succeeded in synthesizing a peroxidase-mimicking nanozyme with a low cost and superior catalytic activity. These nanomaterials can be applied for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
