Na. Kratochwil et al., [H-1, N-15] NMR studies of the platination of phosphorothioate nucleotides- Monofunctional sulfur adducts versus macrochelation, EUR J INORG, (11), 2001, pp. 2743-2746
cis-[PtI2((NH3)-N-15)(2)] reacts rapidly with guanosine-5'-O-(2-thiodiphosp
hate) (GDP-beta -S) to form a macrochelate in which Pt bridges the phosphor
othioate S and guanine N7 atoms, Phosphorothioate(alpha -S)-containing self
-complementary decamer oligonucleotides give rise to relatively long lived
S-bound monofunctional adducts, the fate of which is sequence dependent.
