Sp. Kaiwar et al., SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND DNA INTERACTION STUDIES OF CR-III PRODUCTS ISOLATED FROM CR-VI REDUCTION WITH -SH CONTAINING MOLECULES, Polyhedron, 15(5-6), 1996, pp. 765-774
Chromium(III)-containing products were isolated from the reduction of
chromate using molecules possessing the thiol function, i.e. L-cystein
e, L-cysteine-ethyl ester and mercaptopropanediol. The products were c
haracterized by various analytical, spectroscopic, magnetic and electr
ochemical studies. The in vitro interaction of these products with pUC
18DNA has shown alterations in the DNA structure as established using
agarose gel electrophoresis.
