摘要：

The redox-stable, tetrahedral cuprous chelate of neocuproine (2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) binds to the single-stranded DNA formed in open complexes and is an effective inhibitor of eukaryotic and prokaryotic transcription. Despite the many kinetic and structural differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription systems, they are all similarly inhibited by neocuproine copper, suggesting that all open complexes may share a homologous structure.
