“…Therefore, we need a surface that combines the following four properties: 1) an ability to attach covalently a DNA molecule by one end, 2) a conductivity suitable for surface modification, 3) a compatibility with QCM monitoring, and 4) a roughness as low as possible to be compatible with AFM imaging. [32,33] Moreover, the frequency variation of the Au quartz crystal showed a unique mass intake during the first sweep and stabilized at a frequency of Df = 75 AE 5 Hz (Figure 1 b), near to a monolayer of organic grafting. Therefore our choice was to use a gold surface (i.e.…”

After electrochemical modification, the layer was activated by the application of a solution of PCl 5 (5 mm) in CH 2 Cl 2 to form the final layer of ArSO 2 Cl.…”

The interaction of human Rad51 protein (HsRad51) with single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA) was investigated by using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) monitoring and atomic force microscopy (AFM) visualization. Gold surfaces for QCM and AFM were modified by electrografting of the in situ generated aryldiazonium salt from the sulfanilic acid to obtain the organic layer Au-ArSO3 H. The Au-ArSO3 H layer was activated by using a solution of PCl5 in CH2 Cl2 to give a Au-ArSO2 Cl layer. The modified surface was then used to immobilize long ssDNA molecules. The results obtained showed that the presence of adenosine diphosphate promotes the protein autoassociation rather than nucleation around DNA. In addition, when the BRC4-28 peptide inhibitor was used, both QCM and AFM confirmed the inhibitory effect of BRC4-28 toward HsRad51 autoassociation. Altogether these results show the suitability of this modified surface to investigate the kinetics and structure of DNA-protein interactions and for the screening of inhibitors.

“…The equivalent circuits for bare GC and B3MP-GC are shown inset of Figure 5(a) and (b), respectively. An electrolyte solution resistance (Rs), a constant phase element (CPE), chargetransfer resistance (Rct) and the Warburg resistance (w) resulting from the diffusion of ions from the bulk of the electrolyte to the interface are presented in this equivalent circuit [22]. CPE and Rct values were found by fitting the impedance spectra using this equivalent circuit.…”

1-(2-benzothiazolyl)-3-methyl pyrazol-5-one (B3MP) was electrochemically covered on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode surface in nonaqueous medium. Properties of B3MP film were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The number of electron transferred was calculated as 0.66 indicating that a single electron transfer process was carried out and the modification mechanism of B3MP via electrochemical oxidation on the GC electrode was suggested.
“…Hypophosphorous acid, sodium nitrite and all the chemicals were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Quentin Fallavier (France). were synthesized from the corresponding anilines by diazotization as described by Khosroo and Rostami [44]. Briefly, the corresponding para-aniline was dissolved in HBF 4 .…”
