چکیده
We report the metallo-responsive high fidelity switching between hexadecameric and octameric supramolecular G-quadruplexes triggered by a change in the metal cation promoter from potassium to strontium, respectively.

Visual detection of potassium by a cyanine dye supramolecular aggregate responsive to G-quadruplex motif transition.
A supramolecular probe is designed for visual detection of potassium based on a novel cyanine dye aggregate recognizing the motif transition of telomeric G-quadruplexes under the Na(+) background. The practical application for colorimetric measurement of urine potassium has been tested.
متن کاملChiral metallo-supramolecular complexes selectively recognize human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA
Here, we report the first example that one enantiomer of a supramolecular cylinder can selectively stabilize human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA. The P-enantiomer of this cylinder has a strong preference for G-quadruplex over duplex DNA and, in the presence of sodium, can convert G-quadruplexes from an antiparallel to a hybrid structure. The compound's chiral selectivity and its ability to discrim...
متن کاملHydrazone-based switches, metallo-assemblies and sensors.
The hydrazone functional group has been extensively studied and used in the context of supramolecular chemistry. Its pervasiveness and versatility can be attributed to its ease of synthesis, modularity, and most importantly unique structural properties, which enable its integration in different applications. This review provides an overview of the utilization of hydrazones in three supramolecul...
متن کاملTransmission electron microscopy enables the reconstruction of the catenane and ring forms of CS2 hydrolase.
Transmission electron microscopic studies on CS2 hydrolase provide direct evidence for the existence of the hexadecameric catenane and octameric ring topologies. Reconstructions of both protein assemblies are in good agreement with crystallographic analyses of the catenane and ring forms of CS2 hydrolase.
متن کاملThe role of alkali metal cations in the stabilization of guanine quadruplexes: why K(+) is the best.
The alkali metal ion affinity of guanine quadruplexes has been studied using dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D). We have done computational investigations in aqueous solution that mimics artificial supramolecular conditions where guanine bases assemble into stacked quartets as well as biological environments in which telomeric quadruplexes are formed. In both cases, an alkal...
