摘要:

用电化学的方法研究了溶液离子强度对DNA媒介电荷转移的影响, 观察到[Ru(NH3)6]3+的还原峰电势随支持电解质的浓度增加向负方向移动. 分析发现微分脉冲伏安法(DPV)的峰电势与溶液离子强度间在一定范围内存在线性关系, 以式电势(E0')作为“桥梁”, 用Debye-Hückel理论给予了解释. 在高离子强度下, 峰电势对线性关系的偏移是由于超过了Debye-Hückel理论的适用范围, 而无强电解质存在时, DNA自身堆积的强负电荷对DNA媒介电荷转移起了推动作用.

Abstract:

The ionic strength dependence of DNA mediated charge transport was studied on a DNA binding polyamide-modified electrode by the electrochemical method. The differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) peak potential of [Ru(NH3)6]3+ shifted negatively with the increase of support electrolyte concentration. Linear relationship between peak potential and ionic strength in the solution was found at the range of moderate salt concentration, which can be interpreted with Debye-Hückel theory using formal potential as a “bridge” linked experiments results and theoretical calculated values. Under high salt concentration this linear relationship deviated from Debye-Hückel theory prediction due to its range of validity is overstep. Without added salt in the solution, fully charged DNA duplex will strongly attract the probe molecule [Ru(NH3)6]3+ to the broadened p-stack of a DNA-polyamide complex, which facilitated DNA mediated charge transport.
