Tiivistelmä
Cleavage of short oligoribonucleotides by a dinuclear Zn(2+) complex of 1,4-bis[(1,5,9-triazacyclododecan-3-yl)oxy methyl] benzene (L(1)) and trinuclear Zn(2+) complex of 1,3,5-tris[(1,5,9-triazacyclododecan-3-yl)oxymethyl] benzene (L(2)) has been studied. Zn(2+)L(1) at sufficiently low concentrations (< 0.1 mmol L(-1)) cleaves NpU and/or UpN bonds (N = G, C, A) much more readily than the other phosphodiester bonds. UpU sites, however, remain intact. Zn(2+)L(2), in turn, cleaves UpU bonds more readily than any other linkages, even more readily than NpU and UpN sites. This cleaving agent shows considerable cleaving activity also towards GpG sites.
