Area of Science:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • DNA damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a significant concern.
  • Developing sensitive methods to detect DNA damage and evaluate protective agents is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop TiO2/ITO modified electrodes for quantitative photooxidation of double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA).
  • To investigate the protective effects of antioxidants against ROS-induced ds-DNA damage.
  • To establish an electrochemical sensor for evaluating antioxidant properties.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of TiO2 films on ITO glass electrodes via a sol-gel process.
  • Quantitative photooxidation of adsorbed ds-DNA using photogenerated hydroxyl radicals.
  • Electrochemical detection of ds-DNA damage using methylene blue (MB) as an intercalant probe.
