Electrochemical behaviour of metallothioneins on silver amalgam electrodes
Šestáková, Ivana ; Josypčuk, Bohdan
Three different types of silver amalgam electrodes (p-AgSAE - polished silver solid amalgam electrode, m-AgSAE - mercury meniscus modified silver solid amalgam electrode and AgA-PE - silver amalgam paste electrode) were applied for voltammetric detection of metals bound in metallothionein (MT) molecule and for Brdička reaction with Co(III). The signals obtained with m-AgSAE and silver amalgam paste electrode correspond to signals observed on hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE). Only p-AgSAE exhibits different behavior which is explained by the formation of AgMT. Formation of AgMT was demonstrated by dissapearance of Cd-Zn-MT peaks and by the increase of new peaks at -573 and -1050 mV, observed by differential pulse voltammetry on HMDE, when silver ions in excess were added to the Cd-Zn-MT solution.

Polycrystalline gold electrode modified by thiols
Šustrová, Barbora ; Mareček, Vladimír ; Štulík, K.
The article reports on our continued investigation of modification of the gold electrode surface by thiolated compounds aimed at construction of an ion-selective sensor. Our previous work was focused on utilization of calix[4]arene molecules as a cavity sized ligand molecule. In this paper, calixarene and linear undecanethiol molecules were used as modifiers. We compared two ways of deposition thiol molecules, namely the spontaneous self-assembly process and the electrochemical deposition, in which the potential was applied on the electrode immersed into an adsorption solution. The concentration, time and potential conditions were optimized from the point of view of the SAM homogeneity. The modifying layers of calixarene and undecanthiol molecules were visualized by atomic force microscopy.
