Development and evaluation of a glassy carbon electrode modified with silver and mercury nanoparticles for quantification of cysteine rich peptides
2017, Sensors and Actuators, B: ChemicalCitation Excerpt :The interest in these peptides lies in the following general facts: they have been shown to be part of a defense mechanism by plants and animals in response to exposure to high levels of essential and non-essential metals (Pb as an example); the presence of these peptides in concentrations above certain limits in living organisms could be associated to resistance of such organisms to certain therapies against cancer [12,17–24]. Most studies reported involving Brdičkás reaction have been performed using a dropping mercury electrode (DME), a static mercury drop electrode, (SMDE) [24–26] or a hanging drop mercury electrode (HDME) [19]. However, these electrodes are not at all convenient when the determinations have to be carried out directly in the field because they are not amenable to miniaturization, do not provide results in real time and because their use brings about the possibility of ambient contamination with relatively high amounts of mercury either in liquid or gaseous form.
Catalytic Hydrogen Evolution at Mercury Electrodes from Solutions of Peptides and Proteins
2005, Perspectives in BioanalysisCitation Excerpt :By decrease of temperature, by addition of surfactants or by increase of ammonia concentration, the double wave changes into a single maximum (Figure 13) (Marha, 1957; Lamprecht and Katzlmeier, 1961; Alexandrov et al., 1963). The occurrence of the two maxima in the double wave has been tentatively explained either (a) by catalytic action of different amino acids in the protein molecule (Müller, 1955), (b) by different tertiary structure of proteins (Iwanow, 1961), (c) by two different cobalt complexes of the protein (Mairanovskii and Mairanovskaia, 1961) or (d) by the protein catalyst acting first in adsorbed and then in desorbed state (Berg, 1964, 1966; cf. Mader and Veselá, 1977). In general, adsorption of the protein at the electrode plays an important role in the mechanism of Brdička catalytic reaction (Senda et al., 1976; Kolthoff et al., 1978).
