Abstract excerpt
We investigate possible mutations in the genetic code induced by cisplatin with an approach combining molecular dynamics (MD) and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations. Specifically, the impact of platination on the natural tautomeric equilibrium in guanine-cytosine (GC) base pairs is assessed to disclose the possible role played by non-canonical forms in anti-tumour activity. To...
