Abstract

The nanozymes are the novel nanomaterials of size varying from 1 to 100 nm imbibed with the ability of mimicking the functions of natural enzymes. However, the activities of nanozymes can be modulated by the changes in size, morphology, composition, types and concentration of metal ions, pH, temperature, light and surrounding environment. Developing further types of nanozymes; elucidating their functional roles in the living systems and exploring their catalytic mechanisms are necessary in immediate future. Therefore, overcoming the shortcomings will assist in designing smart non-hazardous nanozymes with robust efficiency of catalysis. This short communication gives an insight into the enzyme-properties of the nanozymes, their mechanism of actions, application in biomedical fields and finally focuses on the challenges and limitations in use of nanozymes in biotechnology.
