| Description | The aim of our research is the voltammetric analysis of the DNA hexameric mini-hairpin d(GCGAGC). The cyclic voltammetric experiment on a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) yields reduction signals of adenine (A) and cytosine (C) moieties and two oxidation signals of guanine moieties (G); these signals were investigated with respect to the hexamer concentration and pH of buffered solutions (phosphate-acetate buffer). Although the character of LSV curves is similar for different concentrations and pHs, the elimination voltammograms are different and show the other character of adsorption. |
