Abstract:DNA binding and DNA cleavage characteristics of synthesized mixed ligand copper(II) complexes of the type [Cu(HL)2Cl2](1), [Cu(HL)(bipy)Cl2](2), [Cu(HL) (phen)Cl2](3), [Cu(HL)2Br2](4), [Cu(HL) (bipy)Br2](5), [Cu(HL)(phen)Br2](6) (Where, L= 2- (methylsulfanyl)-N-(1H-pyrrole-2-ylmethylidene) aniline, bipy= 2,2’-Bipyridine, Phen= 1,10- Phenanthroline) have been investigated in detail. DNA binding properties of copper(II) complexes have been investigated by electronic absorption spectroscopy. Results suggest that … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
