In this report, we systematically investigated DNA immobilization at gold surfaces with electrochemical techniques. Comparative cyclic voltammetric and chrono-coulometric studies suggested that DNA monolayers immobilized at gold surfaces were not homogeneous. Nonspecific Au-DNA interactions existed even with the treatment of mercaptobexanol, which was known to competitively remove loosely bound. DNA at gold surfaces. While both thiolated and nonthiolated DNA formed monolayers on gold surfaces, their hybridization abilities were distinctly different. In contrast to thiolated DNA probes, nonthiolated DNA probes immobilized at gold surfaces were essentially nonhybridizable. The experimental results presented here might be useful for the design of high-performance electrochemical DNA sensors.
