چکیده
The sequence specificity of a duplex and the cation dependent self-assembly of a G-quadruplex were combined to design rationally DNA G-quadruplex arrays connected by duplexes.

Electrochemical Studies on the Discrimination Between G-Quadruplex and Duplex DNA
The field of DNA–ligands interactions is of great importance in the development of new efficient therapeutic (cell targeting) and diagnostic (biosensors) strategies. In particular, the development of analytical tools enabling the discrimination between duplex DNA and G-quadruplex DNA are necessary to unravel the biological function(s) of G-quadruplexes. Among the numerous classes of ligands, me...
متن کاملG-quadruplex formation in human telomeric (TTAGGG)4 sequence with complementary strand in close vicinity under molecularly crowded condition
Chromosomes in vertebrates are protected at both ends by telomere DNA composed of tandem (TTAGGG)n repeats. DNA replication produces a blunt-ended leading strand telomere and a lagging strand telomere carrying a single-stranded G-rich overhang at its end. The G-rich strand can form G-quadruplex structure in the presence of K+ or Na+. At present, it is not clear whether quadruplex can form in th...
متن کاملCharge transport in DNA duplex/quadruplex conjugates.
DNA conjugates containing adjacent duplex and guanine quadruplex assemblies have been designed to explore charge transport into quadruplex architectures. The quadruplex assemblies have been characterized structurally using circular dichroism and by assaying for chemical protection. Using an intercalating rhodium photooxidant, noncovalently bound or tethered to the duplex end, oxidizing radicals...
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...
متن کاملA New Cationic Porphyrin Derivative (TMPipEOPP) with Large Side Arm Substituents: A Highly Selective G-Quadruplex Optical Probe
The discovery of uncommon DNA structures and speculation about their potential functions in genes has brought attention to specific DNA structure recognition. G-quadruplexes are four-stranded nucleic acid structures formed by G-rich DNA (or RNA) sequences. G-rich sequences with a high potential to form G-quadruplexes have been found in many important genomic regions. Porphyrin derivatives with ...
