Asymmetric Catalysis by Architectural and Functional Molecular Engineering: Practical Chemo‐ and Stereoselective Hydrogenation of Ketones

TL;DR: The newly devised [RuCl(2)(phosphane)(2)(1,2-diamine)] complexes are excellent precatalysts for homogeneous hydrogenation of simple ketones which lack any functionality capable of interacting with the metal center.

Adducts of the antitumor drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) with DNA: formation, identification, and quantitation

TL;DR: In kinetic studies on the formation of the various adducts, a clear preference of the Pt compound to react with guanines occurring in the base sequence d(pGpG) was established and the method was used to optimize the digestion conditions for cis-DDP-treated DNA.

Crystal structure of double-stranded DNA containing the major adduct of the anticancer drug cisplatin

TL;DR: Information is provided that provides the first crystallographic look at a platinated DNA duplex and should help the design of new platinum and other metal crosslinking antitumour drug candidates and reveals a unique fusion of A- and B-type DNA segments that could be of more general importance.

Cellular responses to cisplatin. The roles of DNA-binding proteins and DNA repair.

TL;DR: The anticancer drug cisplatin provokes a complex response in the cell, including some that enhance survival of the cell by mediating DNA repair and others that hasten its death by conferring sensitivity to the drug.
