Use of a glassy carbon electrode modified by adhered microcrystals of fullerene-C60 mediates the oxidation of cysteine in the presence of aqueous potassium-containing electrolytes. Under conditions of cyclic voltammetry, the potential for the oxidation of cysteine is lowered by approximately 100 mV...
