Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The Ab2-MdP magnetic immunosensor detects PCT over 0.05-100 ng mL-1 with an LOD of 0.011 ng mL-1 and agrees with hospital measurements in 15 clinical serum samples.

Caveat: Clinical sample and Bland-Altman table values are available in the rendered SI; no raw time-series data were supplied.

8 · 3.5 Immunosensor performance · Fig. 5; Tables S4-S7 · Linked to 7 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The catalytic reaction rate of MdP is noted by the authors to be lower than that of natural enzymes and requires further investigation.

Caveat: No quantitative comparison to natural enzymes is given in the main text.

8 · 4 Conclusions

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

MdP contains mixed-valence manganese oxides, specifically Mn3O4 and Mn2O3, with Mn2+, Mn3+ and Mn4+ species detected by XPS.

Caveat: Bulk phase assignment is by PXRD plus HRTEM; surface valence is XPS-derived.

5 · 3.2 Characterization · Fig. 2 · Linked to 7 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The large specific surface area and mesopores of dPCN-224 favour Mn oxide loading and help MdP contact TMB substrate molecules, contributing to higher oxidase-like catalytic efficiency.

Caveat: The causal link is argued from porosity and kinetics rather than isolated surface-area-controlled experiments in the main text.

6 · 3.2; 3.3 Catalytic performance · Fig. S4; Fig. 4E-F · Linked to 4 structured results

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Among the Mn-loading variant series, MdP5 (20 mg additive MnCl2, 40.58 ug mg-1 Mn) showed the best TMB catalytic kinetic performance, with Vmax 3.43 x 10-8 M s-1 and Km 0.20 mM.

Caveat: The authors identify MdP5 as best from Michaelis-Menten/Lineweaver-Burk analysis; variant synthetic details are by analogy to the base MdP route except for MnCl2 amount.

6 · 3.3 Catalytic performance · Fig. S9; Table S3 · Linked to 4 structured results

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Dodecanoic acid competes with TCPP for Zr cluster sites and introduces mesoporous defects into PCN-224, producing dPCN-224 with 1.9 nm micropores and 4.0 nm mesopores.

Caveat: Pore-size and BET values are reported in the main text and supported by rendered SI Fig. S4.

3 and 6 · 3.1; 3.2 Characterization · Scheme 1; Fig. S4 · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Introducing mixed-valence manganese oxides enhances the electrical conductivity/electron transfer of dPCN-224, as indicated by higher LSV current, lower EIS impedance and TMB-triggered chronoamperometric current.

Caveat: No direct electronic conductivity value (S cm-1) is reported; evidence is electrochemical proxy behaviour and author interpretation. Electrode/electrolyte details are available in SI section 1.6.

7 · 3.4 Catalytic mechanism · Fig. 4J-L · Linked to 5 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

The primary reactive oxygen species in MdP-catalysed TMB oxidation are singlet oxygen and superoxide/peroxyl radicals, while hydroxyl radical is not the main active species.

Caveat: Scavenger controls are reported in main text and Fig. S12; exact inhibition percentages beyond "over 50%" were not tabulated.
