Electrochemical Monitoring Of The Interaction Between Mitomycin C And Dna At Chitosan--Carbon Nanotube Composite Modified Electrodes, Pembe Ece Canavar, Ece Ekşi̇n, Kadri̇ye Arzum Erdem Gürsan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) and chitosan composite (chitosan*CNT) based sensors were developed as DNA biosensors, and then they were applied for electrochemical investigation of the interaction between the anticancer drug mitomycin C (MC) and DNA. The oxidation signals of MC and guanine were monitored before and after the interaction process by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The DPV results were in good agreement with those of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Analytical parameters such as DNA concentration, MC concentration, and MC interaction time with DNA were optimized. The detection limits were 6.85 \mu g/mL for DNA and 11.01 \mu g/mL for MC.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Methyl 4-((9H-(carbazole-9-carbanothioylthio) benzoate (MCzCTB) was chemically synthesized and characterized by FTIR, ^1H NMR, and ^{13}C NMR. A novel synthesized monomer was electropolymerized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) in various initial molar concentrations of [MCzCTB]_0= 1, 3, 5, and 10 mM in 0.1 M NaClO_4/CH_3CN and 1 M H_2SO_4. P(MCzCTB)/GCE was characterized by cyclic voltammetry, Fourier transform infrared-attenuated transmittance reflectance, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The capacitive behavior of the modified electrode was obtained by Nyquist, Bode-magnitude, and Bode-phase plots. The highest capacitance at low frequency was obtained as \sim 53.1 mF cm^{-2} from Nyquist plot …

Dinitrogen Reduction On A Polypyrrole Coated Pt Electrode Under High-Pressure Conditions: Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Studies, Di̇dem Balun Kayan, Fati̇h Köleli̇

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) responses of a polypyrrole (PPy)-coated platinum electrode were investigated during N$_{2}$-reduction to ammonia in aqueous medium. Kinetic parameters such as film resistance, pore resistance, and double layer capacitance were analyzed as a function of applied potential and polymer film thickness. The relation between kinetic parameters was discussed by combining electrolysis results. It was found that the optimum film thickness of polypyrrole was 0.73 $\mu $m and optimum potential for ammonia synthesis was -0.150 V under 60 bar N$_{2}$-pressure. The impedance responses under these conditions presented the lowest pore resistance value of ca. 2 $\Omega $ …
