From polarography of DNA to microanalysis with nucleic acid-modified electrodes

Nucleic acids are electroactive species producing well developed voltammetric peaks on the mercury electrode sensitively reflecting small damages to the double-helical DNA. Nucleic acid-modified electrodes can easily be prepared by immersing the electrode into a 5 μL drop of the DNA and/or RNA solution. Such nucleic acid-modified electrodes strongly decrease the quantities of DNA and RNA required for analysis. They offer a number of other advantages which may be of use in biochemical and molecular biological research. Past, present and future aspects of nucleic acid voltammetric analysis are reviewed.
