Uracil-targeted inhibition of poly(A)–poly(U) hybridization by a zinc(II)–cyclen complex

Abstract
A zinc(II)–cyclen complex, which is a highly selective host for thymidine (dT) and uridine (U) in aqueous solution at physiological pH, inhibits both poly(A)–poly(U) hybridization and poly(U)–directed polyphenylalanine synthesis.
