Abstract

In the past ten years, interest in nanozymes, which are nanomaterials with inherent enzyme-like capabilities, has skyrocketed because of their potential to overcome the drawbacks of conventional enzymes, such as their low stability, high cost, and difficult storage. Iron oxide-based nanozymes, among other forms of nanozymes, have magnetic properties (superparamagnetic), are biocompatible, and are stable. Iron oxide-based nanozymes are frequently used for many biomedical applications because of the aforementioned features. The basic concepts of iron oxide-based nanozymes and their biological applications are the main emphasis of this chapter. Also briefly covered are recent findings and the outlook for iron oxide-based nanozymes.
