| Summary: | The phosphate clamp is a distinct mode of ligand-DNA binding where the molecular recognition is manifested through ("non-covalent") hydrogen-bonding from am(m)ines of polynuclear platinum complexes to the phosphate oxygens on the oligonucleotide backbone. This third mode of DNA binding is unique to the "classical" DNA intercalators and minor groove binding agents and even the closely related covalently binding mononuclear and polynuclear drugs. 2D

The studies confirm the DNA binding modes by substitution-inert (non-covalent) polynuclear platinum complexes and help in further establishing the chemotype as a new class of potential anti-tumour agents in their own right with a distinct profile of biological activity.
NMR studies confirmed phosphate clamp-DNA binding in solution and the sequence dictates minor-groove spanning or backbone tracking. |
