Cisplatin-DNA complex- 1a84
Introduction
In this figure is to a 12 base pair double stranded DNA, creating a 49° bend with an overall helix bend of 78°. This bend in the DNA is crucial to cisplatin’s role as an anticancer drug. Cisplatin, cis-PtCl2(NH3)2, is a chemotherapy drug, administered intravenously, used in the treatment of various types of cancer. This platinum-based drug acts in vivo by binding to two consecutive adjacent guanine bases in DNA. The binding of cisplatin bends the DNA, allowing for HMG-protein to bind. Once the HMG-protein is bound, de-stacking of the nucleotide base pairs occurs, which in turn kinks the DNA. With the HMG-protein bound to the DNA, the cell cannot properly repair the DNA, leading to apoptosis.

Cisplatin Binds to DNA by a a 1,2 intrastrand DNA cross link. The distortion to the structure of DNA caused by the cisplatin cross links allows the recognition of HMG domain protiens to bind to the DNA. DNA containing platinum lesions show a shift from right handed B to left hand Z DNA A around the platinum coordination site (20,21) appears in green here. This is caused by the Cisplatin cross link.
