G-quadruplex DNA aptamers and their ligands: Structure, function and application [PDF]
Highly specific and tight-binding nucleic acid aptamers have been selected against a variety of molecular targets for over 20 years. A significant proportion of these oligonucleotides display G-quadruplex structures, particularly for DNA aptamers, that ...

Kinetics and thermodynamics of G-quadruplexes [PDF]
The melting of tetramolecular DNA or RNA quadruplexes is kinetically irreversible. However, rather than being a hindrance, this kinetic inertia allows us to study association and dissociation processes independently. General rules have been extended to longer DNA motifs or sequences containing modified bases such as 8-oxo or 7-deaza guanine.

Rudimentary G-Quadruplex-Based Telomere Capping In Saccharomyces Cerevisiae [PDF]
Telomere capping conceals chromosome ends from exonucleases and checkpoints, but the full range of capping mechanisms is not well defined. Telomeres have the potential to form G-quadruplex (G4) DNA, although evidence for telomere G4 DNA function in vivo ...

Nanostructured luminescently labeled nucleic acids [PDF]
Important and emerging trends at the interface of luminescence, nucleic acids and nanotechnology are: (i) the conventional luminescence labeling of nucleic acid nanostructures (e.g. DNA tetrahedron); (ii) the labeling of bulk nucleic acids (e.g. single‐

The Presence and Localization of G-Quadruplex Forming Sequences in the Domain of Bacteria
The role of local DNA structures in the regulation of basic cellular processes is an emerging field of research. Amongst local non-B DNA structures, the significance of G-quadruplexes was demonstrated in the last decade, and their presence and functional

RNA G-quadruplex structures exist and function in vivo in plants
Background Guanine-rich sequences are able to form complex RNA structures termed RNA G-quadruplexes in vitro. Because of their high stability, RNA G-quadruplexes are proposed to exist in vivo and are suggested to be associated with important biological ...

G-Quadruplexes as Sensing Probes [PDF]
Guanine-rich sequences of DNA are able to create tetrastranded structures known as G-quadruplexes; they are formed by the stacking of planar G-quartets composed of four guanines paired by Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding. G-quadruplexes act as ligands for metal ions and aptamers for various molecules.
