Cyclic voltammetric techniques (dc and ac) have been employed to probe the interfacial interaction of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) with mercury. A reaction mechanism based on the interaction of cystine residues (disulfide) with mercury is presented. It appears that the interfacial electrical properties play an important role in determining the surface behavior of adsorbed PLA2 mol...

Stable ruthenium(II) carbonyl complexes having the general composition [Ru(CO) (PPh3)(py)(L)] (where L= bianion of tridentate Schiff bases (H2L, H2L and H2L)) were synthesized from the reaction of [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)2(py)] with bidentate Schiff base ligands derived from condensation of isatin with o-aminophenol / o-aminothiophenol / o-aminobenzoic acid. The new complexes were characterized by elem...

The details of a potentiodynamic preparation method for a composite nickel(II) and copper(II) hexacyanoferrate (MeHcF) and poly[8-(3-acetylimino-6-methyl-2,4-dioxopyran)-1-aminonaphthaline] (PAMDAN) on a platinum electrode, (Pt |PAMDAN|MeHcF) are reported. The cyclic voltamograms recorded the direct deposition and growth of inner layer (PAMDAN) and the outer layer (MeHcF) from their solutions. ...

In this present work, a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was modified primarily with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and a composite of MWCNTs and titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO₂NPs). The enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized to enhance the sensing ability of GCE. The proposed biosensor was used for the sensitive determination of isoniazid (INZ) in various pharmaceutical sam...

The electro-oxidation of nimesulide has been investigated by cyclic and differential-pulse voltammetry at different pH at gold electrode. Cyclic voltammetric studies were performed in a wide range of sweep rates and various concentrations of nimesulide. The oxidation process was irreversible and exhibited a diffusion-controlled behavior. According to the linear relation between the peak current...

Electrochemical aptasensors may be used to detect protein biomarkers related to tumor activity. Osteopontin (OPN), a protein present in several body fluids, has been suggested as a potential biomarker since its overexpression seems to be associated with breast cancer progression and metastasis. In this work, a simple and label-free voltammetric aptasensor for the detection of OPN, using an RNA ...
