Abstract

The reaction between cisplatin and DNA is conveniently studied using fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides and gel electrophoresis; as an example of application, the inhibition of this reaction by citrate is demonstrated, which might increase selectivity of cisplatin towards guanine over adenine.
