Published: May 2010

A new iron(ii) complex was synthesized and its photonuclease activity against plasmid DNA was evaluated. After kinetic experiments a k(cat) of 18.86 +/- 2.9 h(-1) was obtained, one of the highest nuclease activities of synthetic metallonucleases, selectively activated by 365 nm UV light.
