Homogeneous DNA Hydrolysis by Cerium(IV)/Lanthanide(III)/Dextran Ternary Complexes

Homogeneous solutions for DNA hydrolysis are prepared from cerium(IV) ion, lanthanide(III) ion, and dextran. When [Ce(IV)] = 10, [Pr(III)] = 5, and [dextran (monomeric residue)] = 20 mmol dm−3 at pH 7.0 and 50 °C, the pseudo-first-order rate constant for the hydrolysis of thymidylyl(3′→5′)thymidine (TpT) is 0.10 h−1.
