This invention discloses a
rapid detection method for cephalexin and lead using a diatomic nanozyme. The method involves synthesizing Fe and Cu coordinated teratophorphene (4-carboxyphenyl)-1, which is then pyrolyzed at high temperature to form a diatomic nanozyme (Cu,Fe-N-C). The coexistence of iron and
copper active sites in Cu,Fe-N-C exhibits high
peroxidase-mimicking
enzyme activity due to its synergistic effect. Cephalexin significantly inhibits the Cu,Fe-N-C + TMB + H₂O₂
system. The complexation of cephalexin with metallic Cu reduces the affinity of Cu,Fe-N-C for the substrate and the number of active sites, leading to a decrease in the
absorbance of the
system. Meanwhile, Pb... 2+ The addition of Pb restored the activity of the
peroxidase nanozyme. 2+ Competitively forming a complex with cephalexin, it releases the iron and
copper active sites in the Cu,Fe-N-C nanozyme, leading to increased affinity of Cu,Fe-N-C for the substrate and a corresponding increase in
absorbance. This establishes a novel,
highly sensitive, and selective
rapid detection method for cephalexin and lead, with limits of quantitation of 0.010 and 0.012 mg / kg, respectively, meeting relevant national
food safety requirements. This method is characterized by its simplicity, high sensitivity, and rapid operation.
