Absence of chiral discrimination in the interaction of tris(diphenylphenanthroline)ruthenium(II) with DNA
Abstract
Δ- and Λ-[Ru(dpphen)3]2+ (dpphen = 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) bind non-intercalatively to B-form DNA and, unlike other octahedral metal complexes, show insignificant enantioselectivity in their interaction.
