Abstract

In article number 2004129, Dongfang Zhou, Youhui Lin, and co-workers firstly demonstrate that N-rich carbonized silk fibroin material can serve as efficient peroxidase and oxidase mimics. Silk fibroin itself is inert, while its enzyme-like activities are triggered by high-temperature carbonization. By combination of its excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, the silk-derived artificial enzyme can also be applied to tumor photothermal-catalytic therapy.
