Abstract: Mutation and damage in DNAby interaction, UV-irralation, nitrite action and ultrasonication were studied by means of voltammetry using a graphite electrode covalently immobilied with ssDNA-1. Daunomycin was used as a hybidization indicator. When the complementary ssDNA-2 in solution was damaged by phsical or chemical agents, the hybridization of ssDNA-1 and ssDNA-2 was changed. All the results in voltammogram indicated that intercalator can't destroy the double-helical structure of DNA, while UV-irralation and nitrite action can make the permanent damage. Ultrasonication can reduce polymerization in DNAand the hybridization time was shortened. This may provide a new method for clinical medicine study.

Key words: DNA, Electrochemical sensor, Daunomycin, Hybridization of nucleic acid molecules, Voltammetry
