title: The effect of glutathion on the reaction of cis-and trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) with DNA.
abstract: Differential pulse polarography study was used to investigate the influence of glutathion on cis- and trans-DDP induced alterations of DNA structure. Though the applied concentration of glutathion has no effect on the reaction on DNA with cis-DDP, it greatly modifies the reaction with trans isomer. This may be an important reason for the ineffectiveness of the trans-DDP as an antitumor drug.
