Electrochemical preparation of junction between a molecule and solid surface through a metal coordinative peptidic tag

Using the EC tag tagged molecules, electrochemical molecular immobilization was performed, and an investigation of the surface properties was undertaken through both chemical quantifications and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The complex formation between the ECtag tagged molecule and the metal ion was also investigated by photospectromitric analysis. All results suggest that ECtag tagged molecular immobilization is an interfacial phenomenon inducing neutral metal complex formation.
