- Description: In this study, the synthesis and characterization of new paramagnetic ruthenium(III) complexes: cis-[RuCl2(urdpa)] (1) {Hurdpa = 6-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)uracil} and fac-[RuCl3(chrdpa)] (2) {chrdpa = 4-((bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-7-methoxycoumarin} are reported. These metal complexes have been comprehensively characterized by an array of physicochemical techniques and the X-ray solid-state structures of 1 and Hurdpa have been attained.

- Description: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding interactions for a series of ruthenium heterocyclic complexes were monitored using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and agarose gel electrophoresis. Investigations of the DNA interactions for the metal complexes revealed that they are groove-binders with intrinsic binding constants in the order of 104 – 107 M−1.

- Description: This research study describes the formation and characterization of novel paramagnetic ruthenium complexes, cis-Cl, trans-P-[RuIIICl2(carboim)(PPh3)2] with bidentate chelating carbohydrazide Schiff bases (carboim = bpc for 1, ttc for 2 and tpc for 3). These metal complexes were synthesized by the equimolar coordination reactions of trans-[RuCl2(PPh3)2] with N-[1,3-benzothiazole-2-ylmethylidene]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide (Hbpc), N-((uracil-5-yl)methylene)thiophene-2-carbohydrazide (Httc) and N-[(uracil-5-yl)methylidene]pyridine-2-carbohydrazide (Htpc), respectively. Physicochemical techniques including nuclear magnetic resonance-, electron-spin resonance- and infrared spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectrophotometry, voltammetry as well as molar conductivity measurements provided definitive determinations of the respective ruthenium compounds’ structures.

- Description: Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is an evolutionarily conserved chaperone protein that controls the function and stability of a wide range of cellular client proteins. Fibronectin (FN) is an extracellular client protein of HSP90, and exogenous HSP90 or inhibitors of HSP90 alter the morphology of the extracellular matrix. Here, we further characterized the HSP90 and FN interaction. FN bound to the M domain of HSP90 and interacted with both the open and closed HSP90 conformations; and the interaction was reduced in the presence of sodium molybdate. HSP90 interacted with the N-terminal regions of FN, which are known to be important for matrix assembly.
