Analysis of Biomolecular Changes in HeLa Cervical Cancer Cell Line Induced by Interaction with [Pd(dach)Cl₂] by Vanja Ralić, Maja D. Nešić, Tanja Dučić, Milutin Stepić, Lela Korićanac, Katarina Davalieva, Marijana Petković

“…The impact of dichloro(1,2-diaminocyclohexane)palladium(II), [Pd(dach)Cl₂], was studied by synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform infrared (SR FTIR) spectroscopy, a powerful tool for studying alterations in cellular components’ biochemical composition and biomolecular secondary structure on a single-cell level. A spectral analysis, complemented by statistics, revealed that the Pd(II) complex considerably affected all major types of macromolecules in HeLa cells and induced structural changes in proteins through an increased formation of cross-β-sheets and causes structural rearrangement in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) through potential chromosome fragmentation. …”
