Abstract

A new sulfur-ligated Zn-peptide 1 : 2 complex, [ZnII(Boc-NH-Cys-Gly-Cys-OMe)2]2- (2), was prepared, characterized, and tested for its DNA-binding and -cleavage properties. Complex 2 was found to cleave DNA hydrolytically. The negative charge in 2 reduces the affinity of the complex for DNA, and enhances its binding specificity.
