An oligopeptide (17mer) which recognizes cyclic AMP was designed and a
pplied to electrochemical detection of cAMP. Redox peak currents on cy
clic voltammograms of ferrocyanide/ferricyanide redox couple with Au e
lectrode which was modified with the peptide showed response dependent
ly on the cAMP concentration, while the electrode showed only slight r
esponse to ATP that is a structural analog of cAMP.
