Mechanism of Interaction of DNA Bases with Pd(II)-azoimidazoles: The Cytosine Case

Abstract

Cytosine is responsible for maintaining cytosineguanine triple hydrogen bonded bond pairing during coding information transfer of progeny [1,2]. There is a long-standing interest to explore the interaction of carcinogenic agents and anticancer drugs with DNA [3-12].
