Synthetic cobalt bleomycin models as a photochemical DNA cleaver
Abstract
Simplified synthetic models of the bleomycin cobalt complex which contain the AMPHIS {N-[6-(2-aminoethylaminomethyl)pyridin-2-ylcarbonyl]histidine} metal-ion binding ligand and DNA binding component have been prepared; the cobalt complexes cleaved DNA upon photoirradiation.
