Developing a universal strategy to measure catalase (CAT)/CAT-like activity, on one hand, overcomes limitations on current assays, such as moderate sensitivity and limited sample scope; on the other hand, facilitates insightful studies on applications of CAT and CAT-like nanozymes. Herein, the oxygen-sensitive and H2O2-inhibitory self-polymerization of dopamine (DA) was demonstrated as an activity indicator of CAT or CAT-like nanozymes, which monitors the catalytically generated O2 in a hypoxic environment. A typical assay for natural CAT was achieved under the optimized conditions. Moreover, this assay was suitable for diverse types of samples, ranging from nanozymes, animal tissues, to human saliva. By comparing the merits and limitations of common methods, this assay shows all-round advantages in sensitivity, specificity, and versatility, facilitating the formulation of measurement criteria and the development of potential standardized assays for CAT (or CAT-like nanozyme) activity.
