A novel "turn-on" fluorescent copper biosensor is developed successfully based on the graphene oxide (GO)-dsDNA-CdTe quantum dots (QDs) complex via chemical crosslink method. The optical and structure properties of GO-dsDNA-CdTe QDs complex are studied by fluorescence (FL) spectra and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in detail. It is demonstrated that the fluorescence quenching of CdTe QDs is a process of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) due to the essential surface and quenching properties of two-dimensional GO. Copper ions induce the catalytic reaction of DNA chain and irreversibly break at the cleavage site, which will cause the G-quadruplex formation, moreover further result in the CdTe QDs separated from GO and restored its fluorescence. Therefore, a significant recovery effect on the fluorescence of the GO-dsDNA-CdTe QDs complex is observed in the presence of copper ions. The fluorescence responses are concentration-dependent and can be well described by a linear equation. Compared with other metal ions, the sensor performs good selectivity for copper ions.
