Selective reactions of nucleobases under biological conditions
Bioinorganic Chemistry
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
Pentacyanonitrosylferrate/II/ complex reacts under biological conditions (pH= 7.5, T= 25-40 degrees C, dilute solution) selectively with nucleobases. The reaction with adenine and guanine probably leads to nitrosation. A new compound formed in the reaction with adenine is prepared; both this compound and the pentacyanonitrosylferrate/II/ inhibits the multiplication of Escherichia coli.
