title: Isolation of the products resulting from the reaction of cis and trans diaminedichloroplatinum [II] with DNA and chromatin on the Dowex 50 W column.
abstract: The production of platinated derivatives of nucleic acid bases resulting from the reaction of cis and trans DDP with DNA and chromatin was studied. Bifunctional complex of guanine appeared to be the major product of the interaction of cis isomer with both DNA and chromatin, although other bifunctional adducts of A-Pt-G and A-Pt-A were also isolated. The main product of the interaction of trans DDP with DNA was a monofunctional adduct of guanine. Small amounts of the bifunctional complexes were also isolated. When ssDNA was incubated with trans DDP more bifunctional complexes appeared, what suggests that geometric constrains of double helix prevent formation of these complexes. Trans isomer reacts more easily with chromosomal proteins than cis DDP does. Therefore after the reaction of trans DDP with chromatin less platination occurs on DNA moieties.
