title: Design of an artificial restriction enzyme having simultaneous DNA cleavage activity.
abstract: We designed dimeric distamycin linked hydroxamic acid (DDHA)-metal complexes and investigated double strand simultaneous cleavage. Compared as distamycin linked hydroxamic acid (DHA)-metal complex, DDHA-metal complex cleaved DNA at the same level of DHA-metal complex without double strand simultaneous cleavage.
