Adenosine and adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) are important extracellular signaling molecules. Here, we studied adenosine and ATP using fast-scan cyclic voltammetry at carbon-fiber microelectrodes. Although ATP and adenosine have similar oxidation potentials, ATP oxidation current was highly dependent on buffer pH and divalent cation concentrations but adenosine current was not. Therefore, they can be distinguished by adding a divalent cation chelator or calibrating electrodes at different pH values. The enzymatic degradation of adenosine by adenosine deaminase was monitored in a mixture of adenosine and ATP in presence of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetate). This sensing method is promising for enzyme kinetics or in vitro studies.
