The cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) is the chief tache when ultraviolet ray damages DNA that could lead to skin cancer. XPC-hHR23B complex was used as the initial recognition complex of CPD. But its recognition efficiency was very low. This article firstly studied on the recognition of the chiral metal complex Δ,Λ-[Ru(IP)2dppz]2+ to CPD double helix DNA including double G:T mismatched pairs by molecular modeling. The results revealed that both of two isomers of [Ru(IP)2dppz]2+could recognize CPD and the interaction was enantioselective, grooveselective and sitespecific. We also found that the shape of two T bases forming CPD changed from mouth shape to approximate parallel shape after Λ-[Ru(IP)2dppz]2+intercalating DNA. That was the initial conformational repair.

Key words: metal complex, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD), molecular modeling, setric hindrance, electrostatic interaction
