WHAT IS
NANOZYME ?
Nanozymes are cutting-edge nanomaterials with
distinct physicochemical features and the capacity to
precisely fabricate their structures in order to imitate
naturally occurring physiologically significant events.
Nanozymes specifically imitate real enzymes and
display enzyme-like characteristics.
The following characteristics set nanozymes apart
from biological enzymes found in nature:
Nanomaterial size, shape, surface, and composition
alter the enzymatic characteristics of nanozymes;
nonetheless, there may only be slight variations in
how sensitive they are to activators, inhibitors, pH,
temperature, and light.
Ions, molecules, and organic compounds can all be
found using nanozymes, both qualitatively and
quantitatively. They have also been used to destroy
germs that are resistant to many medications and to
degrade different organic contaminants.
IMPACTS OF THE USING
OF NANOZYMES TO
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
System, product, and service efficiency is
increased because of nanozyme technology. It
contributes to sustainable healthcare by
enhancing health and preserving lives (cancer
therapy). In reality, by running operations more
efficiently, the company is able to save costs and
expand quickly.
Growth in the economics of the chemical
industries. Because the chemical sector
contributes significantly to the GDP, employment,
and competitiveness of the country and has a big
direct impact on the economy.

Therapy Based on Nanozymes.
The fundamental idea behind the direct technique is to use
the peroxidase-like and oxidase-like activities of nanozymes
to produce review of systems ROS in tumour tissues.
Reactive oxygen treatment for bacterial infection and
wound healing using manganese dioxide nanozyme.
The Use of Nanozymes in In
Vivo Imaging
Along with other distinctive
physicochemical characteristics,
nanozymes also have electrical,
paramagnetic, and fluorescent features.
Nanozymes have also been extensively
developed for in vivo disease monitoring
and imaging by utilising the special
physicochemical features.
POSITIVE IMPACTS OF
NANOZYMES TO ENVIRONMENT
Nanozymes for the Imaging of Live
Cells and Organelles
Currently, flow cytometry,
cytological smears, and nucleic
acid testing are the cytological
detection techniques that are
most frequently utilised.
Applications for monitoring and
removing environmental
contaminants
Both quantitatively and
qualitatively, the detection of
heavy metal ions, molecules,
and organic substances has
been done using nanozymes.
Nanomaterials with enzyme-like properties
(nanozymes) have the potential to improve plant
physiological processes.
Both photosynthesis and resilience to stress
In cucumber (Cucumis sativus) plants, Mn3O4
nanozymes increase endogenous antioxidant
metabolites and increase tolerance to salinity
stress.
Pollutant sensing and
environmental treatment using
nanozymes
The use of catalase, superoxide
dismutase (SOD), and
haloperoxidase is common in
environmental clean up.
 increased human
labour
More researchers are focusing on the
application of nanozymes from theory to
practise and their rational design.

Desires more time

To create new nanozymes and to improve ones
that have already been created unsuccessfully,
researchers need more time.

Health

The skin, lungs, and digestive system are three entry

points for nanoparticles entering the body. This could
contribute to the production of "free radicals," which
can harm DNA and cause cell damage.
Additionally, there is worry that nanoparticles may be
able to pass through the blood-brain barrier if they

are ingested and enter the bloodstream.
Possibly carcinogenic (exposed to carcinogenic
hazard is based on the inherent properties of the

NANOZYMES TO HUMAN substance and does not provide information on the

level of the human cancer risk which the use of the
chemical may represent).
NEGATIVE IMPACTS
OF NANOZYMES TO
ENVIRONMENT
Nanozymes still require work to increase their substrate selectivity
and catalytic effectiveness. Since nanozymes were developed by
taking inspiration from nature, this will change our nature.

It is important to properly investigate nanozymes. Despite the fact

that numerous nanozymes have been identified as having good
biosafety for about 90 years, many pertinent commercial items have
recently been pulled from the market (nanotoxicity).

Animal experiments involving plenty of rats were conducted as part

of clinical studies; if the rats didn't pass the tests, more would be
utilised, disrupting the ecology.

Pollutant monitoring and evaluation have received a great deal of

attention. Wastewater is made up of a variety of toxic substances
that are created and released from a variety of sources, including
industrial operations.
