Abstract
It is shown that it is possible to develop a number of strategies for the measurement of kinetics at the molecular level by using microelectrodes of sufficiently small dimensions. These strategies rely on the amplification of individual molecular and therefore stochastic events by subsequent essentially deterministic processes. The direct measurement of individual molecular events is also demonstrated for the adsorption of an adequately large molecule (DNA) at a microelectrode surface.
