G-Quadruplexes in the Archaea Domain [PDF]
The importance of unusual DNA structures in the regulation of basic cellular processes is an emerging field of research. Amongst local non-B DNA structures, G-quadruplexes (G4s) have gained in popularity during the last decade, and their presence and functional relevance at the DNA and RNA level has been demonstrated in a number of viral, bacterial ...

Summary: DNA G-quadruplex is a non-canonical secondary structure that could epigenetically regulate gene expression. To investigate the regulating role of G-quadruplex, we devised an integrating method to perform the algorithm profiling and genome-wide ...

Extracellular DNA, or eDNA, is recognised as a critical biofilm component; however, it is not understood how it forms networked matrix structures. Here, we isolate eDNA from static-culture Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms using ionic liquids to preserve ...

Opposed to DNA quadruplex sequences, RNA quadruplexes are still less well characterized. On the other hand, RNA quadruplexes are found to be at least as stable as their DNA counterparts. They show the same dependence on metal ions but seem to be much more restricted with respect to the adopted conformations.

Kinetics of tetramolecular 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. From a kinetic point of view, the association reaction is fourth order in monomer and the dissociation first order in quadruplex.

A Chimeric DNA/RNA Antiparallel Quadruplex with Improved Stability
Nucleic acid quadruplexes are proposed to play a role in the regulation of gene expression, are often present in aptamers selected for specific binding functions and have potential applications in medicine and biotechnology.

Determination of G-quadruplex formation in DNA is required for the design of small molecules (drugs) targeting G-quadruplex. In previous studies, we used the fluorescent protein RHAU53-CFP capable of recognizing parallel G-quadruplex structures through a

Structural Probes in Quadruplex Nucleic Acid Structure Determination by NMR
Traditionally, isotope-labelled DNA and RNA have been fundamental to nucleic acid structural studies by NMR. Four-stranded nucleic acid architectures studies increasingly benefit from a plethora of nucleotide conjugates for resonance assignments, the ...

Role of Hfq in Genome Evolution: Instability of G-Quadruplex Sequences in E. coli
Certain G-rich DNA repeats can form quadruplex in bacterial chromatin that can present blocks to DNA replication and, if not properly resolved, may lead to mutations. To understand the participation of quadruplex DNA in genomic instability in Escherichia
