    AnnotationOsmium tetroxide complexes with nitrogen ligands (L) are probes of DNA structure and electroactive labels of DNA. Here adducts of single-stranded (ss) DNA with osmium tetroxide 2,2'-bipyridine (DNA-Os,bipy) were studied by cyclic voltammetry for the first time. It was found that at neutral pH DNA-Os,bipy produces three redox couples in the potential range between 0 and - 1 V (peaks I-III) and a cathodic peak at about - 1.3 V (peak W). The latter peak decreased with increasing scan rate, and peaks arising from the forward and reverse scans exhibited the same direction, suggesting catalytic nature of the electrode process. We concluded that this peak corresponds to the known differential pulse voltammettic (polarographic) peak of DNA-Os,L adducts for which catalytic hydrogen evolution is responsible. In contrast, currents of cathodic peaks II and III increased almost linearly with increasing scan rate, suggesting involvement of adsorption in the electrode processes.
