Navigating the Unnatural Reaction Space: Directed Evolution of Heme Proteins for Selective Carbene and Nitrene Transfer

Yang Yang et al.

Summary: Researchers are making efforts to expand the catalytic repertoire of enzymes to include powerful reactions previously only known in small-molecule catalysis. By leveraging the catalytic promiscuity of P450 enzymes, a range of carbene and nitrene transferases with excellent activity towards new-to-nature reactions have been evolved.

High-Performance Self-Cascade Pyrite Nanozymes for Apoptosis-Ferroptosis Synergistic Tumor Therapy

Xiangqin Meng et al.

Summary: The pyrite peroxidase nanozyme demonstrates ultra-high affinity for H2O2 and possesses intrinsic glutathione oxidase-like activity, resulting in abundant production of (OH)-O-center dot and depletion of reduced glutathione, inducing apoptosis and ferroptosis of tumor cells. It shows potential for effective therapeutic application in tumor catalytic therapy.

Hexokinase 2 in Cancer: A Prima Donna Playing Multiple Characters

Francesco Ciscato et al.

Summary: Hexokinases, particularly Hexokinase 2 (HK2), play a critical role in glucose metabolism and are highly expressed in insulin-sensitive tissues and neoplastic cells. In addition to its enzymatic activity, HK2 can regulate autophagy and cell death, as well as intracellular Ca2+ fluxes, at the mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs). Targeting HK2 subcellular localization in MAMs may offer a promising anti-tumor strategy by disrupting its functions in metabolic and survival pathways.

Generation of particle assemblies mimicking enzymatic activity by processing of herbal food: the case of rhizoma polygonati and other natural ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine

Enrico Benassi et al.

Summary: Processed herbs exhibit phosphatase-like activity, which can effectively inhibit cancer cell growth via phosphatase signaling and potentially interact with kinase signaling or directly bind/unwind DNA. The study introduces a new term "herbzyme" to describe the enzymatic/co-enzymatic activity attributed to the nanosized assemblies in herbs and herbal food beyond their known pharmacological properties.

Fe-N-C single-atom nanozymes with peroxidase-like activity for the detection of alkaline phosphatase

Xiaolei Xie et al.

Summary: A colorimetric strategy based on Fe-N-C single-atom nanozymes was established for the detection of alkaline phosphatase activity, providing a wide linear range and low detection limit. Fe/NC-SAs showed high stability under harsh conditions and were successfully validated in human serum samples for ALP determination.
