✦ Synopsis
The covalent binding of trans -Pt (NH&C12 to the double-stranded poly(lbpoIy(C) follows three types of reactions, depending on rb and the concentration of polynucleotide in the reaction mixture. At i-b 5 0.1, the principal reaction is coordination to poly(I), giving rise to some destabilization of the double strand, as shown by uv and CD spectra, and a decrease in r, values, giving rise to free loops of poly(C). At higher rb and low polynucleotide concentration, the free cytidine bases react with platinum hound on the complementary strand to form intramolecular (interstrand) crosslinks that restabilize the double-stranded structure. At high rb and high polynucleotide concentration, while the above reaction still occurs, the predominant one is the formation of intermolecular crosslinks. Under no conditions has strand separation been observed.

The fixation of cis(NH&C12Pt(II) to poly(1)-poly(C) leads to the formation of two complexed species. One involves coordination to a single base (accounting for about 70% of the total platinum bound over the Fb range 0.07-0.25) and the other to two bases which are not adjacent to each other but may b
## Abstract The interactions of the ribonucleotide poly C with __cis__‐ and __trans__‐diamminedichloroplatinum (II) were probed with Raman spectroscopy. Both platinum compounds attack the __N__‐1 position of the cytosine residue, while the __trans__ form appears to attack the PO~2~^−^ as well. Rama
It is demonstrated that poly(A + U) and poly(1 + C) are both formed nnder low ionic strength conditions. Continuous variation studies indicate the formation of copper(I1) complexes of poly A, poly C, and poly I, but not of poly U. Copper(I1) in a I: 1 ratio to polynucleotide prevents the formation o
