Plasmid relaxation induced by copper metalated diglycine conjugates under heterogeneous reaction conditions.
This paper reports synthesis and plasmid modification activities of a new class of insoluble copper-metalated diglycine conjugates, containing aliphatic linkers of varying length. Besides providing significant rate enhancement for model phosphate ester cleavage, these constructs also displayed efficient supercoiled plasmid scission, in the absence of co-oxidants, under heterogeneous catalytic conditions.
