DNA–DNA cross-linking mediated by bifunctional [SalenAlIII]+ complex

Nucleic‐Acid‐Templated Enzyme Cascades

“…With regard to bifunctional crosslinkers for nucleic acids and proteins, the chemical crosslinking method is simple, and it is easy to modify enzymes with ODNs. Also, this method can be readily applied for commercially available enzymes.…”

Fluorescence emission and enhanced photochemical stability of ZnII-5-triethyl ammonium methyl salicylidene ortho-phenylendiiminate interacting with native DNA

“…Among the various mechanisms through which they carry on their action in bioenvironments, of utmost importance is their direct interaction with DNA. Many DNA binding studies of metal complexes of Salen-type ligands have been reported in the literature, for example of Al [1], V [2], Mn [3][4][5][6][7], Fe [8,9], Co [6,10] Ni [2,5,6,11] Cu [2,6,12,13] and Zn [2]. The capability to interact with DNA is determined by several factors such as the nature of the ligand and the coordination geometry.…”

“…Salen and Salphen, the di-anions of the Schiff bases N,N′-ethylenebis (salicylideneimine) and N,N′-phenylenebis (salicylideneimine), respectively, and ligands obtained by their chemical modifications, are of current interest for their potential and actual biomedical applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. This is due to their peculiar molecular structure characterized by a nearly planar area with extended π system.…”

“…Further necessary requisites that such complexes should obviously possess are to be stable and inert in biological environment and water-soluble. Usually, water solubility has been increased by functionalizing the ligand by polar or charged groups [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

Some New Hexacoordinated Aluminium(III) Complexes of Sterically Hindered Heterocyclic ß-Diketones and N-Protected Amino Acids : Preparation And Structural Considerations Based Upon Spectral [IR And NMR (1Η, 13C and 27Al)] Studies

“…It is well documented that aluminium alkoxides display a varying degree of molecular association. The interaction of aluminium alkoxides with various potential organic ligands afforded hybrid inorganic-organic complexes /I -5/ of aluminium (III) which exhibit superior properties 16,11. The exciting chemistry of organic 'Author to whom correspondence should be addressed Vol.…”
