Abstract
Bifunctionalized mesoporous silica-supported gold nanoparticles as oxidase and peroxidase mimics for antibacterial applications are demonstrated. For the first time, these mesoporous silica-supported gold nanoparticles are applied as oxidase and peroxidase mimics. Taking advantage of their prominent enzyme activities, the MSN-AuNPs show excellent antibacterial properties against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Furthermore, MSN-AuNPs also exhibit outstanding performance in biofilm elimination .
