Dinuclear ruthenium complex ΔΔ-Rubb7 selectively binds a destabilised segment of DNA
Richard Keene and colleagues report an inert dinuclear polypyridylruthenium(II) groove binding metal complex that exhibits slow exchange DNA binding in this HOT article. Such compounds have potential as anti-microbial agents as they can block the interaction of important proteins with DNA.
