Abstrakt:
In this article, electrochemical properties of nucleic acids and proteins at mercury
electrodes are briefly reviewed. We focus on structure sensitive DNA and protein sensing
and/or techniques based on the utilization of catalytic hydrogen evolution i.e., analyses that are inherently connected with the mercury electrodes. Advantages of these approaches are briefly summarized and discussed towards answering the title question regarding necessity of mercury
electrodes in biopolymer electroanalysis.
