Binding of Cationic Bis-porphyrins Linked with p- or m-Xylylenediamine and Their Zinc(II) Complexes to Duplex DNA

Spectroscopic, viscometric, and molecular docking analysis of binding of cationic bis-porphyrins linked with p- or m-xylylenediamine (H2pXy and H2mXy) and their zinc(II) complexes (ZnpXy and ZnmXy) to duplex DNA are described. H2pXy and H2mXy bound to calf thymus DNA (CTDNA) stronger than unichromop...
