Chemistry–Methods, EarlyView.Self‐assembly of guanosine‐5′‐monophosphate into G‐quadruplexes induces a cation‐specific (sodium vs. potassium), intense terahertz Raman optical activity signal. The supramolecular helical arrangement gives rise to a distinct chiral vibrational signature in the low‐frequency region.
