The invention provides a method for inhibiting
peroxidase activity by using fluorescent
graphene quantum dots. The method comprises the following steps: (1) adding a
carbon source into a certain amount of water to prepare a
mixed solution, heating the solution until the
moisture is completely evaporated, transferring the solution into a
high pressure reactor, heating and reacting for a period of time, dissolving the product in water, regulating the pH value of the
system to be neutral by using alkali liquor, purifying the product, and
drying, thereby obtaining
solid graphene quantum dots; and (2) dispersing the
quantum dots obtained in the step (1) in secondary
distilled water, taking a proper amount of
quantum dot solution and
enzyme solution, adding the solution into a
buffer solution, adding a color developing agent and H2O2 after a period of time, uniformly shaking the
mixed solution, rapidly adding the solution into a
cuvette, measuring the light absorption value of the maximum absorption
wavelength of the product on an
ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, and performing blank sample control, thereby determining the relative
enzyme activity. The
graphene quantum dots are prepared by adopting low-price and readily available raw materials, and the method is green and environment-friendly. The structure of the
enzyme can be changed by virtue of the interaction between the graphene quantum dots and zymoprotein, and regulation of the enzyme activity is realized.
