ABSTRACT
One of the biggest challenges in biotechnology and medical diagnostics is finding extremely sensitive and adaptable biosensors. Since metal-based enzyme-mimetic biocatalysts may lead to biosafety concerns on accumulative toxicity, it is essential to synthesize metal-free enzyme-mimics with optimal biocatalytic activity and superior selectivity. Here, the pyridine-bridged covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with specific oxidase-like (OXD-like) activities as intelligent artificial enzymes for light-augmented biocatalytic sensing of biomarkers are disclosed. Because of the adjustable bandgaps of pyridine structures on the photocatalytic properties of the pristine COF structures, the pyridine-bridged COF exhibit efficient, selective, and light-responsive OXD-like biocatalytic activity. Moreover, the pyridine-bridged COF structures show tunable and light-augmented biocatalytic detection capabilities, which outperform the recently reported state-of-the-art OXD-mimics regarding biosensing efficiency. Notably, the pyridine-bridged COF exhibits efficient and multifaceted diagnostic activity, including the extremely low limit of detection (LOD), which enables visual assays for abundant reducibility biomarkers. It is believed that this design will offer unique metal-free biocatalysts for high-sensitive and low-cost colorimetric detection and also provide new insights to create highly efficient enzyme-like COF materials via linkage-modulation strategies for future biocatalytic applications.
