Abstract
Novel MnO 2 nanozymes were prepared as nanosheets in situ using spherical poly[(2-methacryloyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride] (PDMC) brushes (SPB) as nanoreactors. The prepared MnO 2 nanozymes were immobilized in SPB (SPB-MnO 2 ) showing high stability and excellent oxidase-like property which could oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into oxidized TMB (oxTMB), accompanied by the change of absorption at 653 nm. The MnO 2 nanosheets could be decomposed by trace amount of glutathione (GSH) under acidic environment as validated by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The SPB-MnO 2 /TMB system, with a detection limit of 450 nM, should be an ideal candidate for colorimetric detection of GSH. This work opens a new way to prepare highly stable nanozymes for the detection of GSH.
