title: Isopoly(S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine) derivatives of nucleic acid bases: effects of D-cysteine derivatives on the interaction with DNA.
abstract: Isopoly(S-carboxymethyl-D-cysteine) derivatives of nucleic acid bases were prepared to study the effect of chirality on the complex formation with oligo-DNA. The D-cysteine unit in the L-cysteine oligomer caused decrease of Tm for the complex with DNA.
