S. Mahadevan et M. Palaniandavar, [CU(5,6-DMP)(2)](2-HANDED B-CONFORMATION TO LEFT-HANDED Z-CONFORMATION() SELECTIVELY AND REVERSIBLY CONVERTS CALF THYMUS DNA FROM RIGHT), Chemical communications, (22), 1996, pp. 2547-2548
Circular dichroism spectral studies reveal that [Cu(5,6-dmp)(2)](2+) (
5,6-dmp 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) selectively and reversibly i
nduces the conversion of calf thymus DNA from the right-handed B to th
e left-handed surface-bound Z conformation.
