A zinc(ii) directed triple-stranded helicate incorporating a nine membered metallamacrocycle: supramolecular cylinders mimicking P1 nuclease

Abstract

We report herein the first small molecule based self-assembled fluorescent trinuclear Zn(II) supramolecular cylindrical motif as a structural and functional model of the active site of P1 nuclease. The DNA binding of the same was investigated through UV-Vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism studies.
