Popis: | The antitumor antibiotic drug mitomycin reacts with DNA via ring opening of one of its active sites, the aziridine ring. Since the opening of aziridine rings is facilitated by the addition of a positively charged atom to the nitrogen, the possibility of the addition of a lithium ion to a mitomycin analog is investigated withab initio Hartree-Fock calculations. The lithium-ion affinity of the mitomycin aziridine nitrogen atom is found to be 42 kcal/mol, after correcting for the superposition error. |
