Abstract
Cytochrome c (Cyt. c) was immobilized on the 11-mercaptohendecanoic acid (MUA)-modified gold electrode. The electrode was stable and sensitive to Cyt. c. Later, DNA was also immobilized on the two-layer modified electrode. Cyclic voltammetry studies show that Cyt. c can interact with dsDNA and ssDNA. The binding site sizes were determined to be 15 base pairs per Cyt. c molecule with dsDNA and 30 nucleotides binding 1 Cyt. c molecule with ssDNA. The modified electrodes were characterized by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), impedance spectroscopy and atomic force microscope (AFM). The modified electrode can be used for determining DNA.
