• Authors: IGNÁC Ján; VETTERL Vladimír
• Year of publication: 2004
• Type: Article in Proceedings
• Conference: Book of Abstracts, 10th International conference of electrified interfaces-on non-traditional methods
• MU Faculty or unit: Faculty of Science
• Field: Biophysics
• Keywords: differential capacitance; adsorption of nucleic acid bases; two-dimensional condensation; 5-methyl cytosine
• Description: Methyl substituent increases the surface of cytosine. Two-dimensional condensation of 5-methyl cytosine appears at two different potential regions and and is most pronounced at pH close to pK.
