Multiple Enzyme-Mimicking CuMOF-Driven Self-Cascading Antioxidant Reaction for Synergistic Electrochemiluminescence Modulation in Ultrasensitive Biosensing

Developing nanozyme-based free radical scavenging is a promising signal modulation approach for ECL sensing. Nevertheless, the relatively low antioxidant activity and inherent pro-oxidant activity of numerous nanozymes have significantly hindered the development of this strategy. Here a biofunctional copper-based metal-organic framework (CuMOF) with multiple enzyme-mimicking activities was employed for the modulation of the ECL immunosensor, guided by the self-cascade antioxidant reaction. The inherent SOD, CAT, and the capacity to eliminate ·OH endow CuMOF with powerful synergistic antioxidant effects while little pro-oxidant activities were displayed, enabling efficient scavenging of the O
