Four hundred twenty-eight high-resolution DNA–protein complexes were chosen for a
bioinformatics study. Although 164 crystal structures (38% of those searched) contained no …

The G‐quadruplexes (G4s) are currently being explored as therapeutic targets in cancer and
other pathologies. Six carbohydrate naphthalene diimide conjugates (carb‐NDIs) have been …

Sialic acids usually occur as glycosides of functional glycoconjugates such as
glycoprooteins and glycolips, that are involved in a wide range of biological phenomena, for …

Selective G‐quadruplex ligands offer great promise for the development of anti‐cancer
therapies. A novel series of divalent cationic naphthalene diimide ligands that selectively …

DNA base pairs are known to open more easily at the helix terminal, a process usually
called end fraying, the details of which are still poorly understood. Here, we present a …

Quadruplex DNA structures are attracting an enormous interest in many areas of chemistry,
ranging from chemical biology, supramolecular chemistry to nanoscience. We have …

Carbohydrate–aromatic interactions are highly relevant for many biological processes.
Nevertheless, experimental data in aqueous solution relating structure and energetics for …

Oligoribonucleotide conjugates carrying apolar carbohydrates at the 5′-end and the
corresponding siRNA duplexes have been prepared using phosphoramidite chemistry. All …

TPP oligonucleotides: Hybridization probes that interrogate target sequences through base
pairing, stacking on the terminus, and binding in the minor groove are presented (see …

Glycolipids and glycoproteins are biomolecules widespread on the cell surface which are
crucial for cell–cell interactions [1] and on the pathogen-cell recognition process [2]. In …
