Abstract

Correction for ‘Controlled intra- and extracellular localization of bioorthogonal polymeric nanozymes’ by Cristina-Maria Hirschbiegel et al., Chem. Sci., 2026, 17, 4050–4060, https://doi.org/10.1039/D5SC07223A.

The authors regret that the units reported in Fig. 2c and 5 were mislabelled. The correct units are nmol nmol⁻¹ instead of nmol µmol⁻¹ for Fig. 2c and pmol and pmol h⁻¹ instead of ng and ng h⁻¹ for Fig. 5. The updated figures are shown herein. These errors do not affect the underlying data, analysis, results, and conclusions of the paper.

Fig. 2 (a) Size distribution measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS); (b) ζ-potential of respective PZs; (c) quantification of encapsulated Pd¹⁰⁶ measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP); TEM images of (d) PZ-TMA and (e) PZ-COOH.

Fig. 5 (a) Quantification of Pd¹⁰⁶ in HeLa cells by ICP-MS at different time points of incubation with respective PZ; (b) linear fit of time-dependent uptake within cells; (c) average uptake of Pd (pmol h⁻¹) in HeLa cells per PZ at different concentrations, demonstrating significantly higher uptake rates of positively charged PZ-TMA. All values represent the average of three individual measurements; error bars represent the standard deviation. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test. ns = not significant; * = p < 0.05.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
