摘要
When a silver electrode is conditioned in a solution of 0.5 M sodium hydroxide with added sodium phosphate and using a dual pulse (500 mV/750 mV vs. Ag/AgCl), a stable silver(I)/silver(II) oxide surface is formed. It has been previously shown that various moieties react with the silver(II) oxide in a chemical oxidation at the outer surface of the oxide layer. This is then followed by re-oxidation of the silver with the generation of current at approximately 500 mV relative to the silver/silver chloride electrode. Previously we found the need to remove carbon dioxide from the base and condition the electrode in a solution containing phosphate ion in order to provide mechanical stability to the oxide layer. We have previously shown this electrode to be applicable to the detection of a variety of carbohydrates. The applicability of the silver oxide/silver phosphate electrode to the post-chromatographic amperometric detection of amino acids was investigated. Calibration studies of amino acids representative of the various classes demonstrated good sensitivity and linearity in the 1-100 mu M range. Responses of amino acids were measured using glucose as an external standard, in order to correct for variability of the oxide layer. Relative responses of the amino acids ranged from 3 down to 0.1. Correlation with structure suggested the importance of absorption in determining the rate of oxidation. Comparison of arginine with n-benzoyl-(L)-arginine ethyl ester indicated that side chains as well as the backbone amino group can be oxidized. A Levitch plot of alanine was shown to be linear from approximately 30 to 300 radians per second spin rate at a scan rate of 50 mV per second. Application to post-chromatographic detection was demonstrated.
