DNA methyltransferase (DNA MTase) has been shown to catalyze DNA methylation, which is closely associated with cancers. Therefore, developing detection technology for DNA MTase activity is significant for early diagnosis of cancer. Herein, a new and ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor was fabricated to analyze DNA MTase activity using a dual-signal amplified system, where RGO-CdS:Mn nanoparticles and a CdTe@DNA network were used as photoelectric materials. RGO-CdS:Mn nanoparticles were first modified on a gold electrode as substrate materials. Then, probe DNA and target DNA with a recognition sequence for DNA methylation were assembled on the electrode. After the process of methylation and digestion, the methylated dsDNA could be.reserved and further hybridized with a CdTe@DNA network, leading to a stronger photocurrent. As expected, the PEC responses were in proportion to the logarithm of M.SssI MTase concentration from 0.01 to 80 U/mL with a detection limit of 0.0071 U/mL. This proposed method showed ideal detection ability for DNA MTase activity and could provide a new idea as well as technology in cancer diagnosis.
