The high catalytic efficiency of enzyme cascade reaction mainly depends on optimal interenzyme distance regulated by the special scaffolds. In this work, the rigid PtNPs with different sizes were employed as scaffolds to regulate interenzyme distance for efficient enzyme cascade amplification to construct electrochemical biosensor for sensitive detection of matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2), which overcame the drawbacks of instable construction and sophisticated preparation induced by conventional scaffolds such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), DNA nanostructures. Here, cucurbit[7]uril functionalized PtNPs (CB[7]@PtNPs) was utilized to load ferrocene (Fc)-labeled horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and glucose oxidase (GOx) via host–guest interaction between Fc and CB[7], respectively, resulting in the formation of a stable three-dimensional netlike structure containing amounts of enzymes. Interestingly, the enzyme cascade reaction regulated by 10 nm PtNPs as scaffold showed highly catalytic efficiency. Meanwhile, the PtNPs could also serve as catalyst to accelerate the enzyme cascade reaction with further enhanced catalytic efficiency. As a result, the proposed biosensor exhibited excellent sensitivity with a wide linear range of 0.1 pg·mL–1 to 20 ng·mL–1 and a detection limit of 0.03 pg·mL–1 for MMP-2. Such a strategy opened a new avenue for adopting metal nanoparticles to regulate interenzyme distance for efficient enzyme cascade amplification, thus providing a universal and easy operating method for sensitively detecting various targets such as DNA, metal ion, and protein.
