Abstract: The modification of glassy carbon electrode(GCE) with nano-gold(NG) by chemical adsorption of 2-aminoethane thoil(AET) was achieved for the first time. On this electrode 15-mer ss-DNA was immobilized, then ss-DNA/NG/AET/GCE was formed. By using Co(bpy)33+, hybridization events of the immobilized ss-DNA was well detected. It was found that the NG could possibly cause a part of the ss-DNA to denature and bind Co(bpy)33+. However, soaking in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution, denaturization can be avoided and recognition ability of hybridization was enhanced. Cyclic voltammetric behavior of Co(bpy)33+/2+ bound to the ds-DNA/NG/AET/GCE was studied. It was found that the peak current(ip) showed a linear dependence on the potential scan rate up to 80 mV/s. It was demonstrated that GCE modified with NG by this method had higher stability and reliability.
