Popis: Eight platinum-methionine complexes have been investigated as inhibitors of the alcohol (EC 1.1.1.1) and lactate (EC 1.1.1.27) dehydroganse systems. While only one complex, Pt(Met)Cl 2 , had two halogen ligands on the platinum, all the complexes were able to inhibit both enzyme systems. Of the various methionine and histidine containing peptides evaluated, the dipeptide Met-Met gave the best protection against inhibition by N-alkyl-substituted ethylenediamine-platinum complexes. The histidine containing peptides gave a slight protection against the inhibition by β-[Pt(Met)(NH 3 )Cl]Cl. Thus it appears that in the enzyme systems studied, the methionine acts as a strong ligand for platinum.
