Thiolate-bridged heterodinuclear platinum-zinc chelates as models for ternary platinum-DNA-protein complexes and zinc ejection from zinc fingers. Evidence from studies using ESI-mass spectrometry.

Structures for model ternary platinum-DNA-protein complexes and zinc ejection from zinc fingers by platinum were deduced from the ESI-MS spectra of the interaction of model Zn and Pt complexes.
