Abstract Small molecules and signaling peptides are extensively involved in controlling basic brain function. While classical neurotransmitters can be detected with a variety of techniques, methods for measurement of rapidly-released neuropeptides remain underdeveloped. Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) is an electrochemical technique often used for subsecond detection of small molecule neurotransmitters, in vivo. A few peptides have been detected with FSCV; however, a detailed analysis of the electrochemical signature of all electroactive amino acids with FSCV has not been fully investigated. Because the mechanisms, locations, and timescales for signaling peptide release in the brain are relatively unexplored, developing sensitive and selective tools capable of quantitating neuropeptide signaling is essential. To bridge this gap, we used FSCV to characterize the electroactive amino acids: cysteine, methionine, histidine, tryptophan, and tyrosine. We show that tyrosine, tryptophan, and histidine are easily oxidized on carbon fiber surfaces with FSCV, while detection of the sulfur-containing amino acids is more difficult. This study provides critical information for electrochemical waveform design and optimization for detection of peptides containing these amino acids.

Amperometric and potentiometric probes were employed for the detection and characterization of reactive sites on the 2098-T351 Al-alloy (AA2098-T351) using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). Firstly, the probe of concept was performed on a model Mg-Al galvanic pair system using SECM in the amperometric and potentiometric operation modes, in order to address the responsiveness of the probes for the characterization of this galvanic pair system. Next, these sensing probes were employed to characterize the 2098-T351 alloy surface immersed in a saline aqueous solution at ambient temperature. The distribution of reactive sites and the local pH changes associated with severe localized corrosion (SLC) on the alloy surface were imaged and subsequently studied. Higher hydrogen evolution, lower oxygen depletion and acidification occurred at the SLC sites developed on the 2098-T351 Al-alloy.
