摘要:The red, cationic complex 2-hydroxy-ethanethiolato(2,2',2''-terpyridine)platinum(II), [(terpy)-Pt(SCH2CH2OH)]+, binds strongly to DNA by a mechanism involving intercalation. By means of fluorescence spectroscopy, the platinum complex was shown to inhibit competitively the binding of the intercalating dye ethidium bromide to calf thymus DNA. This platinum complex increases the viscosity of calf thymus DNA, raises the melting temperature by up to 5{degrees
