Electrochemical oxidation of 2'-deoxyguanosine has beenperformed on boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes,resulting in a strong adsorption of the formed oxidizedproducts onto the BDD surface. The adsorption behaviorhas been investigated by studying the electrochemicalbehavior of a redox probe ([IrCl6]3-) using cyclic voltammetry. The most probable situations are the formationof (A) an insulating adsorbed film resulting in a partiallyblocked electrode behavior, (B) a porous film, or (C) anoverall conductive film. Different parameters such as thestandard rate constant, the charge-transfer coefficient, theelectrode/adsorbed products/solution interface resistance, and the formal potential of the redox couple weredetermined. Through comparison of theoretical current-potential curves obtained by analytical calculations withexperimental cyclic voltammograms, we found that theoxidized products of 2'-deoxyguanosine form a continuousconductive film on BDD.
