Different approaches were compared for the construction of the bioactive layer; the highest response was achieved by depositing malate dehydrogenase together with CdTe nanoparticles and covering it with a Nafion\/water (1:1) mixture. The amperometric signal of this biosensor was recorded during irradiation with a near-UV LED in the flow-through mode. The limit of detection was 0.28 mmol\/L, which is adequate for analyzing malic acid levels in drinks such as white wines and fruit juices. The results confirm that the cheap ITO layer deposited on the plastic sheet after cutting into rectangular electrodes allows for the economic production of photoelectrochemical (bio)sensors. The combination of NAD+-dependent malate dehydrogenase with quantum dots was also compatible with such an ITO surface.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bios14010011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,24]],"date-time":"2023-12-24T20:42:30Z","timestamp":1703450550000},"page":"11","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Photoelectrochemical Enzyme Biosensor for Malate Using Quantum Dots on Indium Tin Oxide\/Plastics as a Sensing Surface"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Tereza","family":"Hlav\u00e1\u010dov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Kamenice 5, CZ-62500 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3868-5725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Petr","family":"Skl\u00e1dal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Kamenice 5, CZ-62500 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1016\/j.elecom.2013.10.035","article-title":"Photoelectrochemical bioanalysis: A mini review","volume":"38","author":"Zhao","year":"2014","journal-title":"Electrochem.
