S. Bhattacharya et Ss. Mandal, AMBIENT OXYGEN ACTIVATING WATER-SOLUBLE COBALT-SALEN COMPLEX FOR DNA CLEAVAGE, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (24), 1995, pp. 2489-2490
A new water-soluble Co-II-salen complex cleaves DNA spontaneously unde
r ambient aerobic conditions; the cleavage is further enhanced by incl
usion of 2 mmol dm(-3) dithiothreitol in the reaction buffer.
