Selective recognition of a cisplatin-DNA adduct by human mismatch repair proteins
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
The antitumor agent cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) introduces cytotoxic DNA damage predominantly in the form of intrastrand crosslinks between adjacent purines. Binding assays using a series of duplex oligonucleotides containing a single 1,2 diguanyl intrastrand crosslink indicate that human cell extracts contain factors that preferentially recognise this type of damage when the complementary strand...
