Abstract: The interaction between β-K4H3 [SiW9O37(CpTi)3]·11H20 and DNA was investigated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results suggest that β-K4H3[SiW9O37(CpTi)3]·11H20 can degrade the genomic DNA. The treatment of plasmid DNA with β-K4H3 [SiW9O37(CpTi)3]·11H20 resulted in a fast moving band in front of the three normal conformations(super coiled DNA, linear DNA and relaxed circular DNA) in agarose gel electrophoresis. These results indicate that this chemical material may have the ability to specifically cleavage DNA or to alter conformation of DNA molecules.

Key words: K4H3 [SiW9O37(CpTi)3]·11H20, Agarose gel electrophoresis, DNA
