Graphical Joining the dots: A core–shell–shell CdSeTe@CdS@ZnS quantum-dot-sensitized macroporous TiO 2 plate is built as a photoelectrochemical signal output system, and the film is modified further with biotin–DEVD–peptide, which can be cleaved specifically by caspase-3 and streptavidin-labeled alkaline phosphatase (SA-ALP), to assemble a multisignal-amplified photoelectrochemical platform. A macroporous TiO 2 film (M-TiO 2 ), which was prepared by burning off the polystyrene microsphere (PS) template from a PS/TiO 2 composite film, can provide a large active surface, improve electron-transport performance, and increase the photocurrent. Furthermore, core–shell–shell CdSeTe@CdS@ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were introduced to sensitize the M-TiO 2 film, which can efficiently broaden the absorption spectra range, separate and transfer charge carriers, reduce recombination loss, and improve photovoltaic response, with a sensitization shell of CdS and a passivation shell of ZnS. A multisignal-amplified photoelectrochemical platform was fabricated by further modifying this film with a combination of biotin–DEVD–peptide (Biotin–Gly–Asp–Gly–Asp–Glu–Val–Asp–Gly–Cys) (which is specifically cleaved by caspase-3) and streptavidin-labeled alkaline phosphatase (SA-ALP). Under the enzymatic catalysis of ALP with the substrate 2-phospho- L -ascorbic acid trisodium salt (AAP), ascorbic acid (AA) was generated as a better electron donor, leading to increased photocurrent output. The activity of caspase-3, which depends on the amount of residual peptide on the electrode, was inversely proportional to the amount of AA. By monitoring the variation of photocurrent caused by AA, caspase-3 activity and the therapeutic effect of nilotinib (a special medicine of chronic myeloid leukemia, CML) were indirectly detected and evaluated. The photoelectrochemical platform can be used as a potential evaluation system for monitoring caspase-3 activity and drug effects.
