Artificial enzymes with reprogrammed and augmented catalytic activity and substrate selectivity have emerged to tackle limitations of noble metals or transition metal oxides. Here, the authors report Au25 clusterzymes which are endowed with high catalytic activity and selectivity in a range of enzyme-mimicking reactions.
