Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, particularly in the developing countries. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a critical biomarker for the early detection and intervention of CVD, provides valuable diagnostic and prognostic information for CVD. Herein, we developed a dual-signal electrochemical aptasensor for LDL detection based on a peroxidase-like nanozyme composed of reduced graphene oxide@molybdenum disulfide-ferrocenecarboxylic acid (rGO@MoS2-Fc). In the process of electrochemical testing, rGO@MoS2-Fc achieved the synergistic amplification of electrochemical signals both an enhanced Fc oxidation current detected by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and an increased hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposition current via amperometric current-time (i-t) analysis. The DPV signal, corresponding to Fc oxidation, exhibited a logarithmic linear response over a broad LDL concentration ranged from 0.001 to 100.0 μg/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.91 ng/mL. Meanwhile, the i-t signal, arising from H2O2 decomposition, displayed a linear range of 1.0 to 80.0 μg/mL and an LOD of 0.80 μg/mL. This dual-signal strategy exhibited good selectivity, reproducibility, stability and self-calibration capability. Analysis of human serum samples showed that the proposed strategy is expected to be a powerful method for early-stage CVD diagnosis and clinical management.

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.
