Abstract
Metal complexes that hydrolyze DNA are important, due to their potential use as therapeutic agents, tools in elucidating oligonucleotide structure, and models for naturally-occurring metalloprotein nucleases. Therefore, this review focuses on recent advances in the hydrolysis of DNA and phosphate diester model compounds by non-lanthanide metal complexes.

Porphyrazine, Its Analogues and Their Metalcomplexes: Theoretical Consideration and Experimental Data
Porphyrazines are specific analogues of porphyrins – macrocyclic compounds with tetrapyrrole macrocycles, which are key components of a number of natural compounds, in particular chlorophyll and heme, playing a decisive role in the processes of reversible transfer of oxygen molecules in living organisms. They differ from porphyrins in that their ...read more
