Abstract excerpt
Treatment of wild type Escherichia coli with cis -Pt(NH3)2Cl2 increased the survival and frequency of clear plaques formation of lambda phage damaged by UV radiation. The reactivation process was present in an uvrA mutant and abolished in a lexA host. Trans-Pt(NH3)2Cl2 and [Pt(dien) Cl]Cl (dien = 2HN-CH2-CH2NH-CH2-CH2-NH2) which, inhibited DNA synthesis less than the cis isomer or not at all, respectively,...
