We present a significant finding that Cu(II) ions can activate hematin (Hem) to generate more HOO⋅ and O<sub>2</sub><sup>⋅-</sup> radicals from the decomposition of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Galactose oxidase (GO) and hematin have been simultaneously immobilized by coordinating to Cu(II) ions (GO&Hem@Cu(II)). The radicals HOO⋅ and O<sub>2</sub><sup>⋅-</sup> and dioxygen O<sub>2</sub> can be <i>in situ</i> generated from the byproduct H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> by the Cu(II)-activated hematin. ...[more]
