• Title in English: Electrochemical and circular dichroic analysis of DNA fragments formed by cytosine and adenine bases
• Authors: MIKELOVÁ Radka; TRNKOVÁ Libuše; JELEN František; KEJNOVSKÁ Iva; VORLÍČKOVÁ Michaela
• Year of publication: 2009
• Type: Article in Proceedings
• Conference: The 60th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry – book of abstracts
• MU Faculty or unit: Faculty of Science
• Field: Physical chemistry and theoretical chemistry
• Keywords: oligonucleotide; circular dichroism; voltammetry
• Description: Our results show that EVLS represents a new, fast, simple and inexpensive electroanalytical tool, which can be used not only for the detection and resolution of adenine and cytosine bases in DNA but also for sensitive detection of changes in its secondary structure.
