Significant changes in the characteristic oxidation peaks of the guanine and adenine moieties of immobilized dsDNA were observed after incubation of the modified electrode for 180 s in solutions of the dyes in their original forms. The same was observed using the electrolysis products obtained by oxidation and reduction conversions. The oxidation peak currents of the guanine and adenine moieties decreased when the concentrations of DO1 and DR1 were increased up to 5.0 × 10 -6 and 1.0 × 10-6 mol L-1, respectively; the signal decreases were more pronounced after interaction with the oxidized dyes, compared to the reduced compounds. The interactions between DNA and DO1, DR1, and the electrolyzed dyes were further investigated by UV-vis spectrophotometry in solution, and different effects such as hypochromism and hyperchromism were observed in the resulting DNA spectra. The investigated interactions showed clear evidence of changes in the DNA structure, and suggested a predominant intercalation mode leading to damage in the biomolecule. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.627-635engDisperse dyeDNA biosensorDNA damageInteractionoxidationDifferent effectsDisperse red 1DNA biosensorsDNA damagesDNA structureElectrochemical biosensorHyperchromismModified electrodesOxidation and reductionOxidation peakPencil graphite electrodeSquare wave voltammetryTextile dyesUV-vis spectrophotometryBiosensorsDNADyesElectrolysisGraphite electrodesOxidationPositive ionsVoltammetryBiomoleculesEvaluation of the interactions of DNA with the textile dyes Disperse Orange 1 and Disperse Red 1 and their electrolysis products using an electrochemical biosensorArtigo10.1016/j.snb.2013.01.029WOS:000315751100083Acesso restrito2-s2.0-848733540901923726000036625
