Structured Waters Mediate Small Molecule Binding to G-Quadruplex Nucleic Acids
Pharmaceuticals, 2021 The role of G-quadruplexes in human cancers is increasingly well-defined. Accordingly, G-quadruplexes can be suitable drug targets and many small molecules have been identified to date as G-quadruplex binders, some using computer-based design methods and

Formation of a unique cluster of G-quadruplex structures in the HIV-1 Nef coding region: implications for antiviral activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 G-quadruplexes are tetraplex structures of nucleic acids that can form in G-rich sequences. Their presence and functional role have been established in telomeres, oncogene promoters and coding regions of the human chromosome.

Kinetic Target‐Guided Synthesis of Small‐Molecule G‐Quadruplex Stabilizers [PDF]
ChemistryOpen, 2020 The formation of a G‐quadruplex motif in the promoter region of the c‐MYC protooncogene prevents its expression. Accordingly, G‐quadruplex stabilization by a suitable ligand may be a viable approach for anticancer therapy.
