The behaviour of electrochemically reducible single-strand polynucleotides (poly(adenylic acid)) and poly(cytidylic acid)) was studied by the differential (derivative) pulse polarography (DPP) and by other methods. Measurements were performed with the help of the dropping mercury electrode under various conditions specified by the pulse width, pulse amplitude, drop time etc. For the faradaic and tensammetric DPP peaks the diagnostic criteria were proposed which make it possible to classify even very small DPP peaks of double helical polynucleotides.

Dropping Mercury Electrode

A method is described for determining total platinum content in urine, blood plasma and tissues of patients or experimental animals receiving cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum(II). The method is based on drying and combustion of the biological material in a muffle furnace. The product of the combustion is dissolved successively in aqua regia, hydrochloric acid and ethylenediamine. The resulting platinum-ethylenediamine complex yields a catalytic current at a dropping mercury electrode allowing to determine platinum by differential pulse polarography. Platinum levels of c. 50-1 000 ng per ml of the biological fluid or per 0.5 g of a tissue can readily be analyzed with a linear calibration.

Thiocyanate Concentration

The electroreduction of cobalt(II) in aqueous thiocyanate solutions at the dropping mercury electrode depends on the thiocyanate concentration. At [SCN-] = 0.3 mol/l the intermediate cobalt(I)-thiocyanate complex does exist electrokinetically and may be responsible for the appearance of a peaked catalytic wave. The predecessor species of this intermediate may be CoSCN+ and Co(SCN)2 in similarity to the behaviour of cobalt(II) with cyanide and azide ions.

Rate Controlling Step

Reduction of oxygen and oxidation of hydrogen peroxide at the dropping mercury electrode are electrochemical processes strongly influenced both by the pH value and the anions in solution. With decreasing pH, both processes become irreversible, especially in the presence of anions with a negative φ2 potential of the diffusion part of the double layer. In the case of irreversible oxygen reduction, the concept that the rate-controlling step of the electrode process is the acceptance of the first electron with the formation of the superoxide anion, O2-, was substantiated. Oxidation of hydrogen peroxide becomes irreversible at a lower pH value than the reduction of oxygen. The slowest, i.e. rate-controlling step of the electrode process in borate buffers at pH 9-10 is the transfer of the second electron, i.e. oxidation of superoxide to oxygen.

The theory for the EE mechanism with adsorption of the intermediate following Langmuir’s isotherm has been developed for the expanding sphere with any power law electrode model. The equations obtained with this model are general and can be applied, for example, to a stationary plane electrode, to a stationary sphere electrode, and to the two models of dropping mercury electrode (DME), expanding plane and expanding sphere. The influence exerted by the sphericity of the electrode on the current-potential (I/E) curves and the characteristics of these curves are discussed.
