Abstract
The construction of multifunctional nanointerface bearing rich active site for aptamer immobilization and effective signal transformation is critical for the development of high-performance electrochemical aptasensor. Herein, a layer of p-mercaptobenzoic acid (p-MBA) was self-assembled on the surface of bare gold electrode (AuE), acting as a scalfod for the consequent liquid-phase epitaxial growth of Universitetet i Oslo-66 (UiO-66) metal-organic framework via immersion in zirconium ions (Zr4+) and p-terephthalic acid (PTA) ligand. Then, the UiO-66 was utilized as a bifunctional platform for immobilization of aptamer probe for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and the electrochemical signal transformation as an electrocatalyst. Electrochemical experiments showed that UiO-66 has catalase-like properties for electrocatalytic reduction of H2O2, while when the aptamer interacts with cTnI to form a complex, the catalytic acttivity is inhibited. The catalytic currents in chronoamperometric measurements showed a good linear relationship with the negative logarithm of the target concentration in the range of 100 fg mL−1–100 ng mL−1, and the detection limit was 13 fg mL−1. The aptasensor has good selectivity for cTnI and can be used for the detection of cTnI in human serum samples.

An International Journal Devoted to Electrochemical Aspects of Biology and Biological Aspects of Electrochemistry
Bioelectrochemistry is an international journal devoted to electrochemical principles in biology and biological aspects of electrochemistry. It publishes experimental and theoretical papers dealing with the electrochemical aspects of:
• Electrified interfaces (electric double layers, adsorption, electron transfer, protein electrochemistry, basic principles of biosensors, biosensor interfaces and bio-nanosensor design and construction.
• Electric and magnetic field effects (field-dependent processes, field interactions with molecules, intramolecular field effects, sensory systems for electric and magnetic fields, molecular and cellular mechanisms)
• Bioenergetics and signal transduction (energy conversion, photosynthetic and visual membranes)
• Biomembranes and model membranes (thermodynamics and mechanics, membrane transport, electroporation, fusion and insertion)
• Electrochemical applications in medicine and biotechnology (drug delivery and gene transfer to cells and tissues, iontophoresis, skin electroporation, injury and repair).
• Organization and use of arrays in-vitro and in-vivo, including as part of feedback control.
• Electrochemical interrogation of biofilms as generated by microorganisms and tissue reaction associated with medical implants.
