Popis: The cover picture shows the covalent DNA binding of cisplatin-like complexes. These molecules were designed as hybrids between the platinum coordination site and positively charged peptides, which involves the covalent binding of one or two nucleobases by cisplatin-analogous platinum complexes and the bending of double-stranded DNA initiated by the peptide chain. An optimization of cisplatin-like anticancer drugs is intended. Binding of cisplatin analogs is facilitated by simultaneous DNA bending. Details are discussed in the article by U. Diederichsen et al. on p. 6161 ff.
