ABSTRACT
The building of practical biosensors that have anti-interference abilities against biofouling of nonspecific proteins and biooxidation of reducing agents in actual biological matrixes remains a great challenge. Herein, a robust photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor capable of accurate detection in human serum was pioneered through the integration of a new engineered branching peptide (EBP) into a synergetic dual-photoelectrode system. The synergetic dual-photoelectrode system involved the tandem connection of a C3N4/TiO2 photoanode and a AuPt/PANI photocathode, while the EBP as a dual-functional antifouling and recognition probe featured an inverted Y-shaped configuration with one recognition backbone and two antifouling branches. Such an EBP enables a simple procedure for electrode modification and an enhanced antifouling nature compared to a regular linear peptide (LP), as theoretically supported by the results from molecular dynamics simulations. The as-developed PEC biosensor had a higher photocurrent response and a good antioxidation property inherited from the photoanode and photocathode, respectively. Targeting the model protein biomarker of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), this biosensor achieved good performances in terms of high sensitivity, specificity, and anti-interference.
