Thermal and Thermodynamic Properties of Duplex DNA Containing Site-specific Interstrand Cross-link of Antitumor Cisplatin or Its Clinically Ineffective Trans Isomer
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
The effect of the single, site-specific interstrand cross-link formed by cisplatin or transplatin on the thermal stability and energetics of a 20-base pair DNA duplex is reported. The cross-linked or unplatinated 20-base pair duplexes were investigated with the aid of differential scanning calorimetry, temperature-dependent UV absorption, and circular dichroism. The cross-link of both platinum isomers increases...
