The search for peroxidase-like as well as other enzyme-like nanozymes mainly relies on trial-and-error strategies, due to the lack of predictive descriptors. Here, the authors fill this gap by investigating the occupancy of eg orbitals as a possible descriptor for the peroxidase-like activity of transition metal oxide nanozymes
