A GO-Se nanocomposite as an antioxidant nanozyme for cytoprotection

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Mar 9;53(21):3082-3085. doi: 10.1039/c7cc00045f.

Abstract

GO-Se nanocomposites are fabricated with excellent glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like properties to protect cells against oxidative stress. Compared with SeNPs, the GO-Se nanozymes exhibit higher GPx-mimic catalytic efficiency. Cell experiments further confirm their excellent cytoprotection capacity.
