The invention relates to an electrochemical biosensor for detecting glutathione and a preparing method thereof. The biosensor is a three-electrode system sensor, wherein the counter electrode is a platinum electrode, the reference electrode is a saturated calomel electrode, and the working electrode is a gold electrode. The electrochemical biosensor and the method are characterized in that: the gold electrode is modified with double-stranded DNA capable of being adopted as a copper nanocluster synthesis template. According to the electrochemical biosensor and the preparing method, high-affinity bonding of the glutathione and a copper ion is utilized, synthesis of copper nanoclusters on surfaces of the electrodes is inhibited, and indirect detection of the glutathione is achieved by performing electrochemical quantitative characterization on the copper nanoclusters. The linear range of detection of the glutathione is 1-1000 nM, and the detection limit is about 0.42 nM. The electrochemical biosensor and the method have advantages of simple operation, low cost, using convenience, high selectivity, and the like, so that the electrochemical biosensor and the method have large potential application value in the fields of biochemical research, clinical analysis, and other fields.
