RT Journal Article T1 High-affinity sequence-selective DNA binding by iridium(III) polypyridyl organometallopeptides A1 Gamba, Ilaria A1 Salvadó, Iria A1 Brissos, Rosa F. A1 Gamez, Patrick A1 Brea Floriani, José Manuel A1 Loza García, María Isabel A1 Vázquez Sentís, Marco Eugenio A1 Vázquez López, Miguel AB We demonstrate the application of solid-phase peptide synthesis methods for the straightforward assembly of polynuclear Ir(III) organometallopeptides, and show that their oligoarginine derivatives exhibit high DNA binding affinity, sequence selectivity, and high cytotoxicity towards a set of cancer cell lines PB Royal Society of Chemistry SN 1359-7345 YR 2016 FD 2016 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/17021 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/17021 LA eng NO Gamba, I., Salvadó, I., Brissos, R., Gamez, P., Brea, J., & Loza, M. et al.
