Platinum(<scp>ii</scp>) non-covalent crosslinkers for supramolecular DNA hydrogels
Kaka Zhang, Vivian Wing‐Wah Yam
Abstract
with glutathione (GSH) has endowed the complexes with enhanced hydrophilicity, decreasing the planarity of the complexes, and turning off the metal-metal and π-π interactions at the crosslinking points, leading to GSH-triggered hydrogel dissociation.
