Cobalt (III) hexammine has been used extensively in several types of study: to induce the B→A form and B→Z form transitions in DNA, for inducing nucleic acid crystal growth, for DNA condensation studies, and for inducing structural changes in DNA four-way junctions. Cobalt (III) hexammine has also been observed to stabilize the tertiary interactions of tRNAs. Using NMR, Robinson and Wang observed nuclear Overhausser effect (NOE) cross-peaks between the cobalt (III) hexammine amine protons and guanosine H8, imino, and cytosine amino protons of DNA, demonstrating that NMR could be used to precisely locate a metal ion complex within a specific ion-binding site.
