title: Functional analogs of bleomycin: sequence-specific DNA cleavage with porphyrin (Fe) intercalators.
abstract: Synthetic porphyrin (Fe) intercalators cleave DNA at guanine-cytosine and guanine-thymine sequences. The specificity for cleavage of base sequences of DNA is quite similar to that of bleomycin.
