Abstract: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a highly toxic and stable mycotoxin, endangers food safety and public health. Current aptamer-nanozyme detection systems often require acidic conditions (pH 3.0–5.5), impairing aptamer-target binding. Here, we developed a neutral-pH colorimetric aptasensor using a biomimetic superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like nanozyme. A bimetallic Mn/Cu-MOF was synthesized via a MOF-on-MOF strategy, combining a Cu-MOF core with a hydroxyl-rich Mn-MOF shell to mimic natural SOD's catalytic centers and hydrogen-bonding microenvironment. The aptasensor employs AFB1-specific aptamers immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles (Apt@Fe 3 O 4) and cDNA-conjugated Mn/Cu-MOF (cDNA@Mn/Cu-MOF). Target binding displaces cDNA@Mn/Cu-MOF, enabling its SOD-like catalytic reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) under neutral pH. The absorbance at 560 nm correlates linearly with AFB1 concentration (0.1–3000 ng/mL), achieving a 0.07 ng/mL detection limit. Recoveries in spiked peanut samples ranged from 91.80 % to 109.08 %. This strategy offers sensitive AFB1 detection and a novel neutral-pH biosensor design paradigm. • A bimetallic Mn/Cu-MOF nanozyme mimicking natural SOD was constructed. • A neural-pH magnetic separation-based AFB1 colorimetric aptasensor was developed. • High sensitivity for AFB1 detection: linear range 0.1–3000 ng/mL with LOD 0.07 ng/mL. • Excellent selectivity and recovery were demonstrated in peanut samples.
