Pt lights it up!
Optical probe for quadruplex DNA
We report on a Pt complex that targets quadruplex DNA selectively and switches-on its emission upon binding (Chem Eur J, 2012, 18,16277)
Copper scissorsfor DNA
New paper on oxidative damage of DNA published
We report on a new tri-copper complex that cleaves DNA very efficiently without need for external co-reductants (Chem Eur J, 2012, 18, 15133).
