Therefore, it is urgent to develop a sensitive, novel, and rapid method for detecting CysC. In this work, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was designed for ultrasensitive CysC detection. Ti-MOF@DM-LZU1@Au as a photosensitive material was first modified on the ITO electrode surface. Then, Ab 1 and CysC were assembled on the electrode via the specific immunoresponse of an antigen and antibody. Lastly, the conjugate Ab 2 / l -Cys bilayer/ l -Cys-hemin/G-quadruplex with self-catalytic enzyme performance, as a signal amplification approach, could further react with CysC and Ab 1, which resulted in a stronger photocurrent. As expected, the constructed PEC sensor realized the ultrasensitive detection of CysC, with a detection range of 10 pg/mL to 16 μg/mL and a lower limit of 8.023 pg/mL. The biosensor had excellent repeatability, selectivity, and stability. Moreover, it can provide a new method for the sensitive and rapid detection of other protein molecules in clinical practice.
