Abstract

The adsorption of DNA at a mercury electrode can be detected ellipsometrically. Native DNA is probably more weakly absorbed at positive charges than at negative charges. Denatured DNA is more strongly adsorbed in the reduced form than in the protonated form and is desorbed at large negative charges. Adsorption of both forms is characterized by small negative values of δΔ/δ. It is suggested that these results should be interpreted in terms of an anisotropic film.
