trans ‐[PtCl 2 (Am)(pip‐pip)] · HCl complexes, where Am = ammine, methylamine and dimethylamine, react with ubiquitin to form 1:1 covalent adducts. The platinum complexes bind exclusively to Met1 of ubiquitin forming trans ‐[PtCl(S‐Met1‐Ub)(Am)(pip‐pip)] adducts. These adducts are reactive towards nucleophiles and react with deoxyguanosine (dGMP) to form the ternary trans ‐[Pt(dGMP)(S‐Met1‐Ub) (Am)(pip‐pip)] complex which is stable in water and even in the presence of excess glutathione (GSH). Reaction of trans ‐[PtCl(S‐Met1‐Ub)(Am)(pip‐pip)] with GSH resulted in the rapid formation of the ternary complex trans ‐[Pt(GS)(S‐Met1‐Ub)(Am)(pip‐pip)] which was not stable and slowly lost the platinum moiety; after 7 days the platinum moiety was completely removed and the native ubiquitin was regenerated.
