In this work, a novel and sensitive electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for protein kinase A (PKA) activity analysis and relevant inhibitor screening was proposed based on bimetallic catalysis signal amplification and recognition of Au and Pt nanoparticles loaded metal-organic frameworks (Au&Pt@UiO-66) nanocomposite. After being phosphorylated by PKA in the presence of ATP, Au&Pt@UiO-66 probes were specifically chelated to the modified electrode by forming Zr-O-P bonds between the surface defects of UiO-66 and the phosphorylated kemptide. Due to the high synergistic catalysis of Au&Pt@UiO-66 nanocomposites to the luminol-H2O2 reaction, the ECL signal of luminol was greatly enhanced. Moreover, UiO-66 afford numerous Zr defect sites for high efficient phosphate group recognition, and can also prevent the nanoparticles from aggregating during catalytic reactions. Thus, the excellent performance of the ECL biosensor with high sensitivity and superior stability was obtained. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit for PKA activity was 0.009 UmL−1 (S/N = 3). Meanwhile, the ECL biosensor was successfully applied in inhibitor screening and cell lysates PKA activity analysis, showing great promise in kinase related research.
