Re: Cisplatin
Unlike trans-diamine-dichloro-platinum, Cisplatin has two Cls on the same side of the molecule that allows the Cls to bind to the same DNA strand to form 2 bonds. This blocks the enzymes used in DNA replication from replicating the DNA strand. Thus, it blocks DNA replication.

Re: Cisplatin
I think we do, because he talked about the different structures that coordination compounds can have, like tetrahedral, octahedral, square planar.

Re: Cisplatin
Also, it's good to remember how to draw it, just in case. Plus it helps with labelling its molecular shape and usage for chemotherapy.
