Electrochemical Studies of the Recognition Interaction of Rhodamine B with DNA

The recognition interaction of rhodamine B (RB) with DNA was studied in pH 7.5 Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution by electrochemical techniques. An irreversible oxidation peak at glassy carbon electrode was obtained at 0.92V (vs. SCE). After the addition of DNA into the RB solution, the peak current of RB decreased apparently without the shift of peak potential. The electrochemical parameters such as the charge transfer coefficient α and the electrode reaction standard rate constant ks of RB in the absence and presence of DNA were determined, which did not change, indicating that a non-electroactive complex was formed, so the concentration of RB in the solution decreased and the peak current decreased correspondingly.     

Linear sweep voltammetric studies on the interaction of brilliant cresyl blue with nucleic acids and its analytical application

In this paper, the interaction of brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) with nucleic acids was studied and further applied for the microdetermination of nucleic acids. In aqueous Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution, BCB can be easily reduced on the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) and had a sensitive voltammetric reduction peak at -0.09 V (vs. SCE). The reduction peak current of BCB could be greatly decreased by the addition of DNA. The results of voltammetric measurements had indicated that a binding reaction was occurred between BCB and DNA and a new supramolecular complex was formed, which resulted in the decrease of the diffusion coefficient of the reaction solution and the decrease of the reduction peak current correspondingly. The conditions of interaction and the electrochemical detection were carefully investigated. Under the selected conditions, the calibration curves for the detection of fish sperm (fs)DNA, calf thymus (ct)DNA and yeast (y)RNA were established. The linear range of this assay was 1.0-30.0 microg/mL for fsDNA, 1.0-45.0 microg/mL for ctDNA and 1.0-25.0 microg/mL for yRNA, respectively. The detection limits were 0.38 microg/mL fsDNA, 0.43 microg/mL ctDNA, 0.64 microg/mL yRNA. The interaction parameters such as the equilibrium constant and the binding number were calculated by electrochemical method. The results showed that the 2:3 type of complex was formed in the fsDNA-BCB complex with the binding constant as 2.51 x 10(7). The proposed method was further applied to the synthetic samples determination with satisfactory results.     

Voltammetric Behavior of the Alizarin Red S Interaction with DNA and Damage to DNA

The electrochemical behavior and the interaction of alizarin red S (ARS) with calf thymus DNA was investigated on a bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and DNA modified GCE (DNA/GCE), respectively. ARS showed a pair of redox peaks at ?0.445 V and ?0.414 V on a bare GCE. On addition of DNA into the ARS solution, the peak current of ARS decreased and the peak potential positively shifted, but without new redox peaks appeared. The ARS reduction peak current increased with immersion time on a DNA/GCE. The results showed that ARS could interact with DNA molecules by intercalative binding mode. The equilibrium constant, binding number and the ratio of binding constant for oxidized and reduced ARS forms were obtained. The DNA damage was directly detected by appearance of guanosine and adenosine bases oxidation signal. The influence of experimental conditions on DNA damage extent was discussed in detail.     

Voltammetric Detection of the DNA Interaction with Toluidine Blue

Binding reactions of toluidine blue (TB) with herring fish DNA in pH 6.0 Britton–Robinson (B–R) buffer solution have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and linear‐sweep voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode. TB has a couple of well‐defined redox peaks. The addition of DNA into the TB solution resulted in the decrease of the redox‐peak currents and the shift negatively of the anodic peak potential. The values of the electrochemical parameters such as the electron number of the electrochemical reaction, the electron transfer coefficient and the electrochemical reaction standard rate constant in the absence and presence of DNA, as well as the values of binding constant and binding ratio of DNA with TB were obtained. Almost unchanged values of the electrochemical parameters in the absence and presence of DNA show that nonelectroactive complexes were formed when TB interacted with DNA. DNA concentration can be determined by the decrease of the peak current of TB. The binding mode of TB with DNA was discussed.     

Utilization of Pyronine B as Voltammetric Probe for the Determination of DNA

Abstract

The electrochemical behaviors of the interaction of pyronine B (PB) with DNA were investigated on the mercury drop working electrode. In pH 2.0 Britton‐Robinson (B‐R) buffer solution, PB can be easily reduced on the mercury electrode and had a well‐defined voltammetric reductive wave at ?0.86 V (vs. saturated calomelelectrode, SDE). On the addition of DNA into the PB solution, the reductive peak current of PB decreased with the positive movement of the peak potential and without the appearance of new peaks. The result showed that a new supramolecular complex was formed via intercalation of PB with DNA, which can't be reduced on the Hg electrode. The conditions of interaction and the electrochemical detection were carefully investigated. Under the optimal conditions the decrease of peak current was proportional to the concentration of DNA in the range of 1.0～30.0 mg/L with the linear regression equation as ΔIp″(nA)=51.84C (mg/L)–94.97 (n=13, γ=0.993) and the detection limit was 0.90 mg/L. The interaction mechanism was discussed with the aggregation of DNA‐PB supramolecular complex and the stoichiometry of the supramolecular complex was calculated with the binding number as 3 and the binding constant as 1.61×10¹⁵.

Voltammetric Studies on Chromotrope 2B‐Protein Interaction and Its Analytical Application

In this paper the interaction of chromotrope 2B (Ch2B) with proteins was studied by the electrochemical method. Ch2B is an azo dye and shows irreversible electrochemical responses on the mercury electrode in a pH 3.0 Britton‐Robinson (B‐R) buffer solution. After the addition of human serum albumin (HSA) into the Ch2B solution, an interaction took place, and a supramolecular complex was formed in the mixed solution. The electrochemical parameters of the Ch2B‐HSA interaction system were calculated and compared. The results showed that in the absence and presence of HSA in Ch2B solution, the electrochemical parameters such as the formal potential E⁰, the electrode reaction standard rate constant k_s, etc. showed no significant changes, which indicated that an electro‐inactive supramolecular biocomplex was formed. The free concentration of Ch2B in reaction solution was decreased, and this resulted in the decrease of the peak current. The binding constant and the binding ratio were calculated as 7.85 × 10⁹ and 1:2, respectively, and the interaction mechanism was discussed. Based on the decrease of the peak current, this new electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of HSA in the concentration range of 2.0?25.0 mg/L with the linear regression equation as ΔIp′ (nA) = 50.56C (mg/L) — 6.72 (γ = 0.995). This method was further used to determine other different kinds of proteins, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), oval albumin, etc‥ The new method was successfully applied to detect the content of albumin in healthy human serum samples with the results in good agreement with the traditional Coomassie Brilliant Blue G‐250 spectrophotometric method.     

Comparison of the voltammetric studies at mercury and glassy carbon electrodes for the interaction of lumichrome with DNA and analytical applications

The determination of the interaction between lumichrome (LC), one of the products of decomposition of the biologically important flavins, and calf thymus double-stranded DNA was performed by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse stripping voltammetry (DPSV) in connection with a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) or glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The nature of the process taking place at both electrode surfaces was clarified. It was found that the addition of DNA to a buffered LC solution results in the decrease of redox peak currents with changes in the peak potentials at both electrodes. We assume that LC interacting with DNA produces an electrochemically inactive supramolecular complex via intercalation. There was a difference between the electrochemical parameters determined at the HMDE and those at the GCE. The binding constants ( K) of the LC-DNA complex at HMDE and GCE were determined through the changes of peak currents and their values at the 10(5) level and 10(4) level with each nucleotide residue of DNA binding one LC molecule, respectively. Furthermore, the calibration graph for the determination of DNA was obtained by the decrease in the DPSV peak current of LC in the presence of DNA. Different variables, such as the concentration of LC, the accumulation time and solution conditions, were studied and optimised to maximize the sensitivity; in addition, the detection limit and the reproducibility were determined.

Electrochemical Investigation of Ascorbic Acid Interacting with Bovine Serum Albumin

Abstract

Electrochemical investigation of the interaction of Ascorbic acid (AA) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) on a glassy carbon electrode is reported for the first time. In a 0.1 mol/l, pH 7.3 NaCl solution, AA had a well‐defined voltammetric oxidative peak at +0.2086 V (versus Ag/AgCl) on a GC electrode. After the addition of BSA into the AA solution, the oxidative peak current decreased significantly without a shift of the peak potential, and no new peak appeared. The experimental results showed that a new nonelectrochemical supramolecular complex was formed after the interaction of BSA with AA, which resulted in a decrease of the diffusion coefficient, and then a decrease of the oxidative peak current. The interaction conditions and the electrochemical detection conditions were carefully investigated. The stoichiometry of this supramolecular complex was calculated based on voltammetric data with a binding number of two and a binding constant of 1.38×10⁷.     

Electrochemical Behaviors of Resveratrol and Its Interaction with DNA

Electrochemical behavior of resveratrol was studied in Britton‐Robinson (B‐R) buffer solution (pH = 4.0) at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Resveratrol showed an irreversible anodic peak at 0.570 V which was involving one electron and one proton. Also, the interaction of resveratrol with double‐stranded fish sperm DNA was investigated by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and UV‐vis spectra. The results showed that peak potentials shifted to more positive value and peak currents decreased in electrochemical experiment and the maximum absorption decreased with red shift in UV‐vis spectra experiment with the addition of DNA, indicating the resveratrol interacted with DNA by intercalating into the double helix of DNA. Besides, the binding of resveratrol with DNA, analyzed in terms of the cooperative Hill model, yields the association constant K_a = 3.18 × 10⁵ and a Hill coefficient m = 1.06.
