The electrochemical behavior of pirarubicin(THP) and its interaction with DNA at a Co/GC modified electrode was studied by linear sweep and cyclic voltammetries. In a 0.01 mol/L B-R buffer solution(pH=7.0), the reaction of DNA with THP formed an electrochemical nonactive complex, resulting in a decrease in the THP equilibrium concentration and its reduction current. The composition of the complex was THP∶DNA=2∶1. The combining constant is 2.73×10 10 . The electrode reaction rate constant k s and the electron transfer coefficient α are 1.32 s -1 and 0.56, respectively. The decrease in the peak current was proportional to the DNA concentration and was used to determine the DNA concentration. The experiment of XPS showed that Co was surely implanted into the surface of GCE(glassy carbon electrode) and the implanted Co at GCE can improve the electrocatalytic activity.

Studies on the Electrochemical Behavior of Bleomycin at a Co/GC Ion Implantation Modified Electrode and Its Application

In a 0. 10 mol/L HAc-NaAc buffer solution (pH = 4. 59), a sensitive reduction peak of bleomycin was observed by linear sweep voltammetry at a Co/GC ion implantation modified electrode. The peak potential was-0. 73 V(iw. SCE).

This method is simple, rapid and reliable. The reduction process is quasi-reversible.

Fabrication of ferrocenyl glutathione modified electrode and its application for detection of cadmium ions

l＇-cysteaminecarbonyl-1-glutathionecarbonyl-ferrocene （Fc-GSH） was synthesized from ferrocene dicarboxylic acid and reduced glutathione （GSH） with 4 steps. IR and 1^H-NMR were used to characterize the products. Then Fc-GSH was immobilized on the surface of gold electrode. Cyclic votammetry （CV） was adopted to investigate the electrochemical properties of this Fc-GSH modified electrode in the absence and presence of Cd^2＋ aqueous solutions. The peak oxidation potential （Ea） and reduction potential （Ec） of Fc-GSH modified electrode were observed at Ea= 0.74 V and Ec= 0.64 V （vs Ag/AgCl） before the accumulation of Cd^2＋. This redox process is a monoelectron chemical reaction. The anodic shift is about 80 mV in the presence of 20 nmol/L of Cd^2＋ aqueous solution. Moreover, this shift is in proportion to the concentration of Cd^2＋ when the concentration of Cd^2＋ is lower than 20 nmol/L. So the modified electrode can be used as probes to detect cadmium ions with the limit of 0.1 nmol/L by cyclic voltammetry.
