摘要
The interaction of Cu^2+ complex of N,N'-bis(2-aminoethyl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide (BAP) with DNA was studied by agarose gel electrophoresis analysis. The results indicate that the BAP-Cu^2+ complex can promote the cleavage of phosphodiester bond of supercoiled DNA at physiological condition, which is 3.2 × 10^6 times higher than DNA natural degradation. A hydrolytic cleaving mechanism through the cooperation of copper ions and functional amino groups was proposed.
