Abstract
The interactions of the ribonucleotide poly C with cisβ and transβdiamminedichloroplatinum (II) were probed with Raman spectroscopy. Both platinum compounds attack the Nβ1 position of the cytosine residue, while the trans form appears to attack the PO~2~^β^ as well. Raman difference spectra obtained from samples of poly C containing similar amounts of the respective Pt compounds indicate that the trans form is able to disrupt the secondary structure of poly C to a greater degree than the cis form. This latter observation may be a contributing factor in the low therapeutic index exhibited by the trans form.
