Nucleosome acidic patch-targeting binuclear ruthenium compounds induce aberrant chromatin condensation [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Histone H2A–H2B dimers in nucleosomes contain an acidic patch, a highly electronegative cleft. Here, the authors characterize a family of binuclear ruthenium compounds that selectively target the acidic patch, generating intra-nucleosomal H2A-H2B cross ...

Antioxidant activity of new ruthenium compounds [PDF]
Redox Report, 2005 Many biological properties have been attributed to ruthenium complexes including anti-tumor activity and the attenuation of reperfusion damage and infarct size. In this work, we characterize the antioxidant activity of trans-[RuCl2(nic)4] where nic is 3-pyridinecarboxylic acid and trans-[RuCl2(i-nic)4] where i-nic is 4-pyridinecarboxylic acid by (i ...

A Staining Protocol for Identifying Secondary Compounds in Myrtaceae
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2014 Premise of the study: Here we propose a staining protocol using toluidine blue (TBO) and ruthenium red to reliably identify secondary compounds in the leaves of some species of Myrtaceae.
