Asymmetric monomethine cyanines have been extensively used as probes for nucleic acids
among other biological systems. Herein we report the synthesis of seven monomethine …

Many organic ligands were synthesized to recognize G-quadruplexes. However, different
kinds of G-quadruplexes (G4s) possess different structures and functions. Therefore …

G‐Quadruplex, a unique secondary structure in nucleic acids found throughout human
genome, elicited widespread interest in the field of therapeutic research. Being present in …

Optoacoustic imaging is a new biomedical imaging technology with clear benefits over
traditional optical imaging and ultrasound. While the imaging technology has improved …

Abstract G-quadruplexes (G4s), guanine-rich sequences that are able to fold up in
polymorphous secondary structures, have received increasing attention in medicinal …

A variety of cyanines provide versatile and sensitive agents acting as DNA stains and
sensors and have been structurally modified to bind in the DNA minor groove in a sequence …

A series of three platinum (II) phenanthroimidazoles each containing a protonable side‐
chain appended from the phenyl moiety through copper (I)‐catalyzed azide–alkyne …

Here, we report the syntheses of two pentamethine cyanine dyes containing quinolinium
rings and substituted with either hydrogen (3) or bromine (4) at the meso carbon. The …

Binding of a positively charged indoloquinoline derivative to a G-quadruplex formed by the
G-rich promoter element of the c-MYC oncogene was subjected to a rigorous isothermal …

The interactions of a dicarbocyanine dye 3, 3′‐diethylthiadicarbocyanine, DiSC2 (5), with
DNA G‐quadruplexes were studied by means of a combination of various spectroscopic …
