• Description: The study deals with the description and characterization of two heptaoligonucleotides (DNA and RNA) forming special structures. We studied their electrochemical behaviour by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and elimination voltammetry with linear scan (EVLS) in combination with adsorptive stripping (AdS) technique. Differences in electrochemical behaviour of heptadeoxyribonucleotide and its RNA analog were discussed with regard to their different structures in solutions and their melting points.
