Cis and trans dichlorodiaminoplatinum (II) compounds bind to DNA and form DNA cross-links, which are usually considered to be irreversible. Thiourea can reverse these cross-links without any apparent breakdown of the DNA. In addition, cis- and trans-Pt (II) treatment of lambda decreases its transfectivity. After suitable incubation with thiourea, full transfectivity of Pt(II)-treated lambda DNA can be restored.
顺式和反式二氯二氨铂(II)化合物与DNA结合并形成DNA交联,通常认为这种交联是不可逆的。硫脲可以逆转这些交联,而DNA没有任何明显的断裂。此外,用顺式和反式Pt(II)处理λ噬菌体可降低其转染能力。在用硫脲进行适当孵育后,经Pt(II)处理的λ噬菌体DNA的转染能力可完全恢复。
