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.
