Abstract

A self-accelerated biocatalyst (Bio-Cat) was developed based on BSA and GOx crosslinked nanoproteins for glucose-initiated tumor starvation and chemodynamic therapy. Bio-Cat could catalyze the glucose to elevate the intracellular H2O2 level and accelerate the conversion of Fe3+/Fe2+, resulting in an effective starvation therapy and an accelerated Fenton reaction for chemodynamic therapy.
