Interaction of Anticancer Ruthenium Compounds with Proteins: High-Resolution X-ray Structures and Raman Microscopy Studies of the Adduct between Hen Egg White Lysozyme and AziRu
The binding properties of AziRu, a ruthenium(III) complex with high antiproliferative activity, toward a hen egg white lysozyme have been investigated by X-ray crystallography and Raman microscopy. The data provide clear evidence on the mechanism of AziRu protein adduct formation and of ligand exchange in the crystal state.
