The binding of drugs to DNA is a fast developing area of research with important applications in medicine, particularly the treatment of cancer. Early chapters cover methodologies to evaluate DNA-interactive agents and then the book provides examples of DNA-interactive molecules and technologies in development as therapeutic agents and treats in depth topics such as DNA-binding metal complexes, peptide and polyamide-DNA interactionsSummary: 3.2 Different DNA Binding Modes-Different DNA Binding Kinetics3.2.1 External Electrostatic Binding; 3.2.2 Groove Binding; 3.2.3 Intercalation; 3.2.4 Threading Intercalation; 3.3 Common Slow DNA Binders; 3.3.1 Actinomycin D; 3.3.2 Nogalamycin; 3.4 Ruthenium Complexes Exhibiting Slow DNA-binding Kinetics; 3.4.1 Bis-intercalating Ru-dimer [μ-c4(cpdppz)2(phen) 4Ru2]4+; 3.4.2 Semirigid Ru-dimer [μ-(11,11'-bidppz)(x)4Ru2]4+ (x=phen or bipy); 3.5 Addendum to Second Edition; References; Chapter 4 Thermal Denaturation of Drug-DNA Complexes; 4.1 Introduction; 4.2 Thermal Denaturation ToolsPPN: PPN: 1018828702Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-RSEK
