Copper ion (Cu2+) and l-cysteine (CySH) are closely correlated with physiological and pathological events of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), however the detailed mechanism is still unclear, mainly owing to a lack of accurate analytical methods in live brains. Herein, we report a single biosensor for electrochemical ratiometric detection of Cu2+ and CySH in live rat brains with AD. N,N-di-(2-picoly)ethylenediamine (DPEA) is first synthesized for specific recognition of Cu2+ to form a DPEA-Cu2+ complex. This complex shows high selectivity for CySH owing to the release of Cu2+ from the complex through CySH binding to Cu2+ center. In parallel, 5'-MB-GGCGCGATTTTTTTTTTTTT-SH-3' (HS-DNA-MB, MB = Methylene Blue) is designed as an inner-reference for providing a built-in correction to improve the accuracy. As a result, combined with the amplified effect of Au nanoleaves, our single ratiometric biosensor can be successfully applied in real-time detection of Cu2+ and CySH in the live rat brains with AD. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the accurate concentrations of Cu2+ and CySH in live rat brains with AD.
