| Description | An unusual G6G11 interstrand crosslink is formed by spontaneous rearrangement of the canonical G5G6 intrastrand crosslink generated from the DNA duplex d(CCTTG5G6T7C8TC)-d(G11AGACCAAGG) and Pt(S,S-di-aminocyclohexane)2+ (the enantiomer of the antitumor drug oxaliplatin). The final product provides a rare example of intramolecular self-intercalation of DNA. |
