title: Melting of complexes of DNA-cis-DDP in acidic environment.
abstract: The peculiarities of helix-coil transition of DNA at complex-formation with cis-diamminedichlorplatinum (II) (cis-DDP) have been investigated in acidic environment by UV absorbance technique. It is shown that observed features of behavior T (pH) and T(m) (pH) DNA at pH 2.8-3.0 are possible to explain by formation in DNA of pseudo-ring structures at covalent linking of cis-DDP with DNA.
