Abstract excerpt
This protocol describes the syntheses and applications of two metallointercalators, Rh(bpy)2(chrysi)3+ and Rh(bpy)2(phzi)3+, that target single base mismatches in DNA. The complexes bind mismatched DNA sites specifically and, upon photoactivation, promote strand scission neighboring the mismatch. Owing to their high specificity and sequence context independence, targeting mismatches with these complexes offers an...
