Abstract:
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities and have become a research hotspot in tumor therapy due to their exceptional properties. However, biological application of nanozymes remains a methodology and safety issue. More systematic and rational design of nanozymes is needed for better tumor treatment. In this Perspective, we focus on the key questions that need to be addressed in nanozyme research, including the catalytic mechanism elucidation and the construction of structure-activity relationship, and introduce several promising rational design methods as well as prospect the future development of nanozymes. This Perspective aims to help researchers clarify the rational design of nanozymes in tumor therapy, offering a comprehensive guide in this emerging field.
