Denaturation of dsDNA immobilised at a negatively charged gold electrode is not caused by electrostatic repulsion
Double-stranded DNA immobilised through a thiol anchor at a gold electrode surface can be unwound and denatured by applying a negative potential. One proposed mechanism for this electrochemical denaturation is that electrostatic field effects are responsible for the destabilisation of the dsDNA thro...
