Ambient oxygen activating water soluble cobalt–salen complex for DNA cleavage

Santanu Bhattacharya and Subhrangsu S. Mandal


A new water-soluble CoII–salen complex cleaves DNA spontaneously under ambient aerobic conditions; the cleavage is further enhanced by inclusion of 2 mmol dm–3 dithiothreitol in the reaction buffer.
