Why does cisplatin bind preferentially to GG units in oligonucleotides? The development of a new method which enables the determination of the four rate constants of the two‐step reaction between an oligonucleotide containing a GpG unit and cis‐[Pt(NH 3 ) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ] 2+ has brought us closer to the solution of this puzzle.
