  • CAP-phenanthroline conjugate for DNA cleavage
    Patent number: 5556949
    Abstract: A class of site-specific DNA cleavage agents comprising a sequence-specific DNA binding protein and a nucleolytic moiety attached thereto at an amino acid that is close to DNA in the specific protein-DNA complex, but that is not close to DNA in the non-specific protein DNA complex. These site-specific DNA cleavage agents cleave DNA at specific DNA recognition sites and have little or no non-specific DNA cleavage activity.
