ABSTRACT: Nanoparticles composed of Prussian Blue, PB, and the cyanometalate structural analogs, CuFe, FeCoFe , and FeCo, are examined as inorganic clusters that mimic the functions of peroxidases. PB acts as superior catalyst for the oxidation of dopamine by H2O2 to aminochrome. The oxidation of dopamine by H2O2 in the presence of PB is 6-fold faster than in the presence of CuFe. The cluster FeCo do not catalyze the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome.

oxidation of luminol by H2O2 is, however, FeCo, and PB lacks any catalytic activity toward the generation of chemiluminescence. The order of catalyzed chemiluminescence generation is FeCo >> CuFe > FeCoFe. The clusters PB, CuFe, FeCoFe, and FeCo mimic the functions of NADH peroxidase. The catalyzed oxidation of NADH by H2O2 to form NAD+ follows the order PB>> CuFe ~ FeCoFe, FeCo. The efficient generation of chemiluminescence by the FeCo catalyzed oxidation of luminol by H2O2 is used to develop a glucose sensor. The aerobic oxidation of glucose in the presence of glucose oxidase, GOx, yields gluconic acid and H2O2. The chemiluminescence intensities formed by the GOx-generated H2O2 relate to the concentration of glucose, thus, providing a quantitative readout signal for the concentrations of glucose.

KEYWORDS: NADH, chemiluminescence, dopamine, sensor, catalysis.

Recent research efforts are directed toward the use of supramolecular complexes and inorganic nanomaterials1–3 as catalysts mimicking peroxidases,4,5 and particularly horseradish peroxidase. Different metal oxide nanoparticles, e.g., Fe2O3 nanoparticles,6–8 metal nanoparticles, such as Au9,10 or Cu11,12 nanoparticles, Cu2+ modified graphene oxide13 or Cu2+-functionalized carbon dots14 were reported to mimic functions of horseradish peroxidase. Using some of these nanoparticles, several chemical transformations characteristic to different peroxidases were demonstrated, such as the generation of chemiluminescence13,14 in the presence of luminol and H2O2, the catalyzed oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome13,14 or the catalyzed oxidation of NADH to NAD+ by H2O2 (NADH peroxidase mimicking catalyst).13 Different applications of such catalytic nanoparticles (NPs) may be envisaged including their use for the development of amplified sensing platforms,15,16 bioimaging applications and their use to regenerate the NAD+ in

biotechnological processes. In the present study, we introduce Prussian Blue Nanoparticles, PB NPs, Fe1.33Fe(CN)6 NPs and their structural analogs Cu1.33[Fe(CN)6]0.667, CuFe NPs; Fe[Co0.2Fe0.8(CN)6], FeCoFe NPs and FeCo0.67(CN)4, FeCo NPs as peroxidase mimicking catalysts. We reveal that the Prussian Blue NPs and Prussian Blue-like NPs reveal different activities toward the chemical transformations characteristic to peroxidase. The chemical transformations that are addressed in the study include the catalyzed oxidation of dopamine by H2O2 to yield aminochrome, the catalyzed generation of chemiluminescence by luminol/H2O2, and the catalyzed oxidation of NADH to NAD+ by H2O2. We demonstrate that we cannot identify a superior versatile PB or PB-like NPs peroxidase-mimicking catalyst for all of the transformations and the catalytic activities of the different NPs are dictated by the specific chemical processes. Furthermore, we use the peroxidase mimicking functions of FeCo NPs to develop an optical sensor for glucose. The preparation of the PB NPs17 and of the structural analogs18 CuFe, FeCoFe and FeCo NPs followed reported procedures. Figure 1 depicts the SEM and TEM images of the PB and FeCo NPs (the SEM and TEM images of the CuFe and FeCoFe NPs are presentend in Figure S1). The size of the PB NPs is in the range of 40-50 nm while the other NPs reveal a broad size distribution, 100-200 nm. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the PB NPs and all the other cyanometalate structural analogs are similar (see Figure S2), indicating a face centered cubic structure, space group Fm3m. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy measurements (ICP-OES) indicate the following metal-ion percentage in the different NPs: PB NPs (35 % Fe), CuFe NPs (Fe 21.5 %; Cu 17.8 %), FeCoFe NPs (Fe 19.5 %, Co 15.8 %), FeCo NPs (Fe 13.5 %, Co 17.1 %). The absorbance spectra of the different NPs are provided in Figure S3.

The PB, CuFe, FeCoFe and FeCo NPs were, then, applied as catalysts for the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome by H2O2, Figure 2(A). The time-dependent oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome using PB NPs is shown in Figure 2(B). Increasing the NPs concentration results in the enhanced of the oxidation of dopamine. Figure 2(C) shows the absorption spectra of the resulting aminochrome formed after a fixed time interval of 2 h, using a fixed concentration of the PB NPs, and variable concentrations of dopamine. As the concentration of dopamine increases, the catalytic oxidation of dopamine is intensified. Figure 2(D) depicts the timedependent absorbance changes (of aminochrome) upon oxidation of dopamine using variable concentrations of dopamine and a fixed concentration of PB NPs. Similar experiments were performed with the CuFe, FeCoFe and FeCo NPs (results presented in Figure S4 and Figure S5). Figure 2(E) compares the oxidation rates of dopamine to aminochrome by the different NPs. In these experiments, an identical concentration of the NPs was used. Evidently, the PB NPs reveal substantially enhanced catalytic functions toward oxidation of dopamine by H2O2 to form aminochrome (PB, Vmax = 22 µM min-1; CuFe, Vmax = 3.4 µM min-1; FeCoFe, Vmax = 1.6 µM min-1; FeCo, Vmax = 0.2 µM min-1). Furthermore, control experiments revealed that all the components are essential to drive the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome. The PB NPs and their structural analogs were further examined as catalysts mimicking the horseradish peroxidase catalyzed formation of chemiluminescence through the oxidation of luminol by H2O2. For example, the chemiluminescence spectra generated by different concentrations of FeCo NPs are shown in Figure 3(A). The chemiluminescence spectra are intensified as the concentration of the FeCo NPs increase. The chemiluminescence intensities are controlled by the concentration of H2O2, Figure 3(B). As the concentration of H2O2 increases the chemiluminescence spectra are intensified. Figure 3(B), inset, shows the calibration curve

showing the chemiluminescence intensities at λ = 425 nm, as a function of variable concentrations of H2O2. We find that the superior catalyst for the generation of chemiluminescence is the FeCo NPs. Figure 3(C) depicts the chemiluminescence spectra generated by the different NPs. While CuFe and FeCoFe NPs show poor chemiluminescence generation properties (see Figure S6), we find that PB NPs lack any catalytic activity to generate chemiluminescence. It is certainly of interest to understand the origin for the efficient generation of chemiluminescence by the FeCo NPs in contrast to the poor, or even the lack of chemiluminescence activity of the CuFe, FeCoFe NPs and PB NPs, respectively. We speculated that the later NPs quench the excited aminophthalatic acid that is the reactive specie for the generation of chemiluminescence. Accordingly, we used the classical horseradish peroxidase (HPR)-mediated chemiluminescence generation system in the presence of luminol/H2O2 as reference system to probe the possible quenching of the chemiluminescence generating species by the HRP-luminol system. Figure S7, curve (a) depicts the chemiluminescence formed by the HRP-luminol/H2O2 system. Figure S7, curves (b), (c) and (d) shows the chemiluminescence spectra of HRP-luminol/H2O2 system upon addition of PB, CuFe and FeCoFe NPs, respectively. Evidently, the chemiluminescence of HRP-luminol/H2O2 is totally quenched upon addition of the PB NPs, and is strongly quenched by the other two NPs (CuFe and FeCoFe NPs). In contrast, Figure S7, curve (e) shows the chemiluminescence spectrum stimulated by the HRP/H2O2 system upon the addition of the FeCo NPs. Clearly, the chemiluminescence intensity enhanced (~ 2 folds). This is attributed to the fact that the FeCo NPs do not quench the excited aminophthalatic species generated by HRP itself or the excited species generated by the FeCo NPs themselves. The successful quantitative chemiluminescence detection of H2O2 by the FeCo

NPs paves the way to apply the NPs as catalytic labels for the detection of the activity of oxidases and their substrates (vide infra). The different kinds of NPs were further examined as catalysts that mimic NADH peroxidase catalyzing the oxidation of NADH by H2O2, Figure 4(A). We find that the four different kinds of NPs catalyze the oxidation of NADH. For example, Figure 4(B) depicts the time-dependent oxidation of different concentrations of NADH by a fixed concentration of PB NPs. As the concentration of NADH increases the rate of oxidation of NADH is faster. Also, the rate of oxidation of NADH is controlled by the concentration of the catalytic NPs. Figure 4 (C) depicts the spectra of the residual NADH upon the H2O2-induced oxidation of NADH, 0.3 mM, by different concentrations of the NPs for a fixed time-interval of 4 h. Evidently, as the concentration of the NPs increases, the oxidation of NADH is enhanced, as reflected by the lower content of residual NADH. Similar experiments using the other NPs are presented in Figure S8. The catalytic effectiveness of the different particles is presented in Figure 4(D). In these experiments we compare the rate of oxidation of NADH to NAD+ using a fixed concentration of NPs. Evidently, we find that the oxidation rate is controlled by the composition of the NPs. Control experiments show that NADH is not oxidized by H2O2 in the absence of the NPs. Also, the free metal ions integrated in the cyanometalate clusters (a similar concentration present in the nanoparticles) do not catalyze the oxidation of NADH by H2O2. A major issue that needs to be addressed in the catalyzed oxidation of NADH by H2O2 relates to the confirmation that NADH is indeed oxidized to NAD+, rather than to the biologically inactive NAD-dimer, (NAD)2. This is particularly important since the H2O2 catalyzed oxidation of NADH to NAD+ may provide a general route for the regeneration of NAD+, and thus may act as a versatile means to drive chemical transformations by NAD+-

dependent enzymes.19–23 To confirm the formation of NAD+ as the oxidation product of NADH we coupled the catalytic oxidation of NADH to the NAD+-dependent enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, AlcDH, that catalyzes the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes (or ketones). In these experiments, we stimulated the NPs-catalyzed oxidation of NADH by H2O2. After the absorbance of NADH was depleted, ethanol and AlcDH, were added to the system. This resulted in the regeneration of the absorbance of NADH, Figure 5. Note, however, that the absorbance of NADH is slightly lower than the initial absorbance of NADH. This is consistent with the formation of a steady-state equilibrium of NAD+/NADH in the presence of AlcDH/ethanol. These results imply that the oxidation product generated by the oxidation of NADH is the biologically active NAD+ cofactor and not the biological inactive (NAD)2 dimer. The chemiluminescence generated by the FeCo NPs in the presence of luminol/H2O2 provides a means to design optical sensors for substrates that are aerobically catalytically oxidized while generating H2O2 (e.g., glucose/glucose oxidase; lactate/lactate oxidase; choline/choline oxidase). This is exemplified here with the development of glucose sensor using the FeCo NP as a chemiluminescence generation probe, Figure 6(A). The aerobic oxidation of glucose yields gluconic acid and H2O2. Since the concentration of the resulting H2O2 is controlled by the concentration of glucose, the resulting chemiluminescence intensities are related to the concentration of glucose. Accordingly, aqueous samples consisting of a fixed concentration of glucose oxidase, GOx, were allowed to react under aerobic conditions with different concentrations of glucose for a fixed time-interval of 30 min. The mixtures were then subjected to the FeCo NPs and luminol detection system. Figure 6(B) depicts the chemiluminescence intensities generated by the different concentrations of glucose. As the concentration of glucose is higher, the resulting chemiluminescence is intensified. Figure 6(B),

inset, shows the resulting calibration curve. That is, upon increasing the concentration of glucose, the amount of GOx-generated H2O2 is higher, resulting in an intensified chemiluminescence output. In conclusion, the present study has introduced Prussian Blue NPs and its structural analogs, CuFe, FeCo and FeCoFe NPs as peroxidase mimicking catalysts. Specifically, we demonstrated that the NPs acted as horseradish peroxidase mimicking catalysts reflected by the catalyzed H2O2-driven oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome and by the H2O2 catalyzed oxidation of luminol with generation of chemiluminescence. Also, the different NPs acted as NADH peroxidase mimicking catalysts that catalyzed the H2O2 oxidation of NADH to NAD+. We find that the peroxidase mimicking functions of the different NPs are controlled by the composition of the NPs.

Beyond the significance of the study in introducing a broad class of inorganic clustered NPs as peroxidase mimicking materials, the study reveals possible applications of these catalytic materials. The regeneration of the NAD+ cofactor by the NPs could be coupled to various chemical transformations involving NAD+-dependent enzymes. Also, by using different NPs as catalytic optical labels for the development of sensors for substrates of oxidases or NAD+-dependent enzymes is feasible. Furthermore, a recent study24 has addressed the use of PB NPs as catalyst mimicking three antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase) active as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) degradation biocatalysts. The different catalytic activities of the cyanometalate nanoparticles, demonstrated in the present study, suggest that these NPs could
