چکیده
Polymorphic G-quadruplexes including stacked G-quartet planes are potentially promising DNA templates beyondWatson-Crick duplexes to construct inorganic nanostructures. In this work, a novel Grich oligonucleotide that can be modulated from the antiparallel G-quadruplex to multi-stranded supermolecular assemblies was designed. Based on this dynamic G-quadruplex transformation, an interesting leaf-vein silica nanostructure with regular branched intervals was constructed. The Gquadruplex assembly structure was found to play a significant role in the organization of the silica

Incorporation of copper species into silica matrix was performed by the sol-gel method. Copper ions and copper particles were doped using two different copper sources; Cu(NO3)2.3H2O and copper particles chemically synthesized.The particles of copper metallic, cuprous and cupric oxide were prepared and the synthesis and characterizations of copper species were compared together. On the other han...
متن کاملQuadruplex nanostructures of d(TGGGGT): influence of sodium and potassium ions.
The Tetrahymena telomeric repeat sequence d(TG4T) contains only guanine (G) and thymine (T) bases and has medical and nanotechnological applications because of its ability to self-assemble into stiff tetra-molecular parallel-stranded G-quadruplexes. The hexadeoxynucleotide d(TG4T) was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) on the highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surface and differential ...
متن کاملInterlocked DNA nanostructures controlled by a reversible logic circuit
DNA nanostructures constitute attractive devices for logic computing and nanomechanics. An emerging interest is to integrate these two fields and devise intelligent DNA nanorobots. Here we report a reversible logic circuit built on the programmable assembly of a double-stranded (ds) DNA [3]pseudocatenane that serves as a rigid scaffold to position two separate branched-out head-motifs, a bimole...

We describe the identification of small-molecule G-quadruplex ligands using a direct ELISA screen of a one-bead-one-compound library of unnatural polyamides displayed on a branched linker with a biotin tag. This general purpose parallel screen for small molecule-oligonucleotide interactions was validated by surface plasmon resonance and ELISA of resynthesized compounds. Linear polyamides displa...
