Title: | “Metal-modified base pairs” vs. “metal-mediated pairs of bases”: not just a semantic issue! |
Language (ISO): | en |
Abstract: | A “nucleobase pair” is not identical with a “pair of basic ligands”, as only in the first case, the existence of inter-base hydrogen bonds is implied. The cross-linking of two nucleobases or two basic ligands by a metal ion of suitable geometry produces either “metal-modified” or “metal-mediated” species, but in the author’s opinion, this difference is not always properly made. This commentary is an attempt to provide a clearer distinction between the two scenarios. |
