title: Effects of 1,3-chelation induced by cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) on the stability of DNA duplexes.
abstract: Several 1,3-intra-strand cross-linked decadeoxynucleotide duplexes, modified with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP), and their base substitution analogues at the complementary site to the intervening base of the coordination sites, were synthesized and measured for UV-melting profiles to determine melting temperature (Tm) values. The results indicated the thermal stability of the oligonucleotide duplexes containing Pt-induced 1,3-intra-strand cross-linking did not depend on the kind of intervening base of the coordination site but rather on its complementary base. These results may explain the mutagenicity of cis-DDP from a chemical aspect.
