Guanine and related nucleobases such as guanosine, deoxyguanosine and isoguanosine
are notable molecular tools for designing functional supramolecular assemblies. This …

The size of information that can be stored in nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates was
calculated. The number of hexamers for peptides is 64,000,000 (20 6) and seems to be …

The end of human telomeres is comprised of a long G-rich single-stranded DNA (known as
3′-overhang) able to adopt an unusual three-dimensional “beads-on-the-string” …

Guanine-rich oligonucleotides are able to self-associate to form G-quadruplexes, a higher-
order DNA structure, in the presence of certain cations (typically Na+ and K+ ions).[1–3] G …

Cyclization into closed assemblies is the most recurrent approach to realize the noncovalent
synthesis of discrete, well‐defined nanostructures. This review article particularly focuses on …

The formation of well-defined, discrete self-assembled architectures relies on the interplay
between non-covalent interactions and cooperative phenomena. In particular, chelate or …

A new biomolecular device for investigating the interactions of ligands with constrained DNA
quadruplex topologies, using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), is reported. Biomolecular …

A general overview is provided about the recent and state of the art advances in the field of
metal ions, metal complexes and small aromatic molecules use as stabilising agents for non …

DOTASQ (for DOTA-templated Synthetic G-quartet) is the first prototype of nature-inspired G-
quadruplex ligand: its design, founded on a possible intramolecular G-quartet formation …

G-quadruplexes (G4s) continue to gather wide attention in the field of chemical biology as
their prevalence in the human genome and transcriptome strongly suggests that they play …
