Cobalt, nickel and zinc-DNA interactions : a structural study
M-DNA is a complex between DNA and cobalt(II), nickel(II) or zinc(II) that forms under alkaline conditions. It has been postulated that the imino proton of guanine or thymine is replaced by the metal cation in each base-pair. The complex is thought to maintain a double-helical structure similar to B...
