Abstract

Cu(II) desferal conjugated to d(T)10 at 5'-end is shown to direct the cleavage of single stranded 19-mer target DNA d(TA1GCCCG-GCG), with a base preference G > C » A. In contrast, the corresponding Co(II)-desferal conjugate directed the cleavage specific to only G sites (G12, G16, G17 and G19). Triplex targetting on the duplex 5t'-TCCTGATAAAGGAGGAGATGAAGAAAAAATGA-3': 3'AGGACTATTTCCTCCTCTACTTCTTTTTTACT-5', using Cu(II) desferal conjugated to 5'-end of 3'-TTTCCTCCTCT-5' directed the cleavage at G5.
