The nitroreductases are a family of natural enzymes with great importance. Inspired the integration of biology and nanotechnology, herein, a rational design for the preparation of the platinum(II)-based artificial nitroreductase is reported. Engineering the individual ligand scaffold, which on the one hand could form a highly stable complex with the platinum(II) as the catalytic active site and on the other hand could provide halogen bonding site for induce catalysis by approximation, creates an efficient and long-term resistance artificial nitroreductase. The platinum(II)-based artificial nitroreductase was characterized by FTIR, TEM, XRD, EDAX and ICP techniques. The reaction conditions were fully optimized for the reduction of high concentration p-nitrophenol as a specific substrate in aqueous solution employing experimental design, which highlights the potential application of the designed artificial nitroreductase in wastewater treatment. Moreover, the enzyme-like Michaelis-Menten kinetics of the reaction was investigated. The prepared platinum(II)-based artificial nitroreductase could be stable even after 20 catalytic cycles with excellent activity and it was represented a good turnover frequency.Nanomaterials with similar functions to those of proteins and their higher stability and lower cost are regarded as an important class of artificial enzymes known as "nanozymes". [1] Considering some practical limitations of natural enzymes, such as ease of denaturation, laborious preparation, high cost, and difficulty of recycling, the design and construction of efficient and stable nanozymes is highly desirable. [1b] The importance of nitroreductase enzymes to produce activate prodrugs, [2] remediate pollutants [3] and generate building-blocks for high-value pharmaceuticals [4] have attracted considerable attention of researchers in the artificial enzymes field. Moreover, various advanced nanocatalysts were developed for the reduction of 4nitrophenol based on immobilization of metal nanoparticles on different supporting materials such as metal-organic frameworks, [5] biohydrogels, [6] mesoporous silica materials [7] and core-shell magnetic materials. [8] In this regard and also as a part of our ongoing research program on the design of new nanocatalyst, [9] we have therefore constructed a rationally designed platinum(II)-based artificial nitroreductase for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol as a model substrate by sodium borohydride in aqueous solution.Halogen bonds are known as the highly directional and specific non-covalent interaction [10] in biological molecules, particularly in natural enzymes that can affect their stability and activity. [11] Inspiriting the important role of halogen bond in substrate selectivity of enzymatic catalysis, engineering the halogen interactions offer new and versatile tools for the rational design of supramolecular scaffolds [12] in artificial enzymes technology.The rational design of ligands lies at the heart of transitionmetal catalysis because of their critical roles in the...
