Abstract:
Current signals produced by the laser-illumination of bare and non-chromophore containing peptide modified gold electrodes were investigated, and we suggest that these current signals which are due to the interfacial potential drop induced by laser heating, may have been mistakenly assigned to molecular-based photocurrents in several recent publications.
