The binding mechanism of ciprofloxacin was elucidated by using constant current potentiometry and differential pulse voltammetry at DNA-modified glassy carbon electrode. The decrease in the guanine oxidation peak area or peak current at +0.9 V was used as an indicator for the interaction mechanism in 0.2 M acetate buffer (pH 5). The binding constant (K) values obtained were 1.33 +/- 0.02 x 10(4) and 1.32 +/- 0.08 X 10(4) M-1 with constant current potentiometry and differential pulse voltammetry, respectively. A linear dependence of the guanine peak area or peak currents was observed in the range of 40-80 mu M ciprofloxacin, with a detection limit of 24 mu M with r = 0.995 and 9 mu M with r = 0.999 by using constant current potentiometry and differential pulse voltammetry, respectively. Moreover, the influence of sodium and calcium ions was also studied to elucidate the mechanism of ciprofloxacin-DNA interaction at different solution conditions, and this proved to be helpful in understanding the ciprofloxacin-DNA interaction.
