title: Interaction of DNA with anti-cancer drugs: copper-thiosemicarbazide system.
abstract: The interaction of copper-thiosemicarbazide complexes with DNA was investigated using ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy. Evidence for the interaction of the complexes with nucleic acid bases and with the phosphate group is presented.
