DNA-Pt complex interactions investigated by single-molecule force spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
Biomacromolecules have dynamic three-dimensional structures that are selective for interacting with other biological components in cellular function. For example, DNA is the major target of anti-cancer drugs in chemotherapy medications. Despite the broad clinical successes in cancer treatment, Plati...

Summary: | Biomacromolecules have dynamic three-dimensional structures that are selective for interacting with other biological components in cellular function. For example, DNA is the major target of anti-cancer drugs in chemotherapy medications. Despite the broad clinical successes in cancer treatment, Platinum complexes exhibit severe side effects and acquired/intrinsic drug resistance due to off-target binding. Thus, an in-depth mechanistic understanding of DNA-Platinum complex interactions is required to support the rational design of new chemotherapy drugs that selectively bind to target DNA. |
