title: The effect of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) on the formation of DNA-Pt-DNA cross-links.
abstract: The effect of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cis-DDP) on the formation of interstrand cross-links in DNA and in DNA and chromatin complex from leukocytes was studied. Following the use of cis-DDP the number of DNA-DNA interstrand cross-links was elevated with the increase of cis-DDP concentration and elongation of reaction time. It was also found that nucleic proteins reduce the quantity of the cis-DDP induced DNA-DNA interstrand cross-links in the DNA in nucleoprotein complex when compared with the links in the isolated DNA.
