Reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause oxidative stress, which involves in the pathogenesis of many serious diseases. Apoferittin containing gold-silver nanoparticles (Au-Ag-AFT) was designed and evaluated as a nanozyme for scavenging the ROS. The nanozyme consisting of silver-gold nanohybrid in apoferittin cage represents superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase mimetic activities. The Au-Ag-AFT nanozyme was characterized by spectroscopy, FESEM, TEM and dynamic light scattering. The inhibition process for pyrogallol autoxidation was used for assaying the superoxide dismutase mimetic activity and measuring the kinetic parameters of Au-Ag-AFT nanozyme. Additionally, Aebi method and standard protocol was used for evaluating the catalase and peroxidase mimetic activity. The k(cat) values for superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase mimetics activity were 1.4 x 10(6), 0.1 and 9 x 10(3) s(-1) respectively. These values indicated that Au-Ag-AFT nanozyme could act as a suitable ROS scavenger. Additionally, Au-Ag-AFT nanozyme was examined as a protective agent for human sperm against oxidative stress induced during the cryopreservation process. Presence of the nanozyme in the sperm media significantly increased the motility and viability of the cells and also decreased the ROS, apoptosis and necrosis (P < 0.05) compare to the control group.
