A Cytosine‑Bulged (3+1) Hybrid G‑Quadruplex Formed by the Chicken DNA Replication Origin
The first high‐resolution structure of an OGRE‐derived G‐quadruplex from the chicken β‐globin replication origin reveals an intramolecular three‐layer (3+1) hybrid fold with a cytosine bulge and an unprecedented 5'‐outer‐quartet anti guanine, creating a distinctive surface for molecular recognition.

Charge and orbital control represent fundamental principles in organic chemistry. In this study, these principles are applied to the aldol reactions of a cyclic Ge‐dienolate. By systematically tuning the charge and orbital distributions of the Ge‐dienolates and their aldehyde reaction partners, regio‐ and stereoselective access to three distinct aldol ...

A double‐headed bis‐guanine (G) nucleotide (GG) was evaluated as a noncanonical building block in G‐quadruplexes (G4s). Biophysical and computational analyses reveal that GG can directly participate in G‐tetrads and strongly stabilize G4s in a position‐ and topology‐dependent manner. These findings establish design rules for using GG to engineer highly

Raman Optical Activity as a Tool to Monitor Polynucleotide Conformation in Solutions
Raman optical activity (ROA) studies of nucleic acids have been hindered by limited computational tools to link the spectra to the structure. The study shows that accurate density functional simulations are possible for model nucleotides, bringing more information about molecular geometry and dynamics in solutions.

A Cyclic {NiII8DyIII4} Cluster Where the DyIII Moments Are Organized by the Transition Metal Spins
The synthesis, structural characterisation, and magnetic properties of a cyclic Ni8Dy4 coordination cluster are reported. Ab initio CASSCF and DFT calculations help rationalize the shape of the microSQUID hysteresis and the competing magnetic interactions within the compound. ABSTRACT A series of [Ni8Ln4(CO3)4(L)8(NO3)2(H2O)8 (MeOH)4](NO3)2 (Ln = Dy (1)
