Effect of a Monofunctional Phenanthriplatin-DNA Adduct on RNA Polymerase II Transcriptional Fidelity and Translesion Synthesis

Transcription inhibition by platinum anticancer drugs is an important component of their mechanism of action. Phenanthriplatin, a cisplatin derivative containing phenanthridine in place of one of the chloride ligands, forms highly potent monofunctional adducts on DNA having a structure and spectrum...
