Single and double chain surfactant–cobalt(<scp>iii</scp>) complexes: the impact of hydrophobicity on the interaction with calf thymus DNA, and their biological activities

Abstract

Single chain surfactant–cobalt(<sc>iii</sc>) complexes interact with minor grooves of CT-DNA, whereas double chin surfactant–cobalt(<sc>iii</sc>) complexes bind with CT-DNA through partial intercalation.
