Dr. Tolga Göktürk
I am an inorganic chemist specializing in the synthesis and characterization of coordination compounds, particularly 1,2,3-triazole-based ligands and their metal complexes. My research focuses on anticancer activity, DNA/BSA binding interactions, crystal structure analysis, and topoisomerase inhibition studies.
