DNA and RNA can adopt various secondary structures. Four-stranded G-quadruplex (G4)
structures form through self-recognition of guanines into stacked tetrads, and considerable …

The regulation of telomere length in mammals is crucial for chromosome end-capping and
thus for maintaining genome stability and cellular lifespan. This process requires …

Light is of essential importance to the universe and humankind. Light has been, and
continues to be, one of the most fundamental and indispensable elements to life and society …

Genomic instability in disease and its fidelity in health depend on the DNA damage
response (DDR), regulated in part from the complex of meiotic recombination 11 homolog 1 …

DNA has played an early and powerful role in the development of bottom-up
nanotechnologies, not least because of DNA's precise, predictable, and controllable …

Guanine (G)-rich sequences in nucleic acids can assemble into G-quadruplex structures that
involve G-quartets linked by loop nucleotides. The structural and topological diversity of G …

Telomeres are DNA-protein complexes that cap and protect the ends of linear
chromosomes. In almost all species, telomeric DNA has a G/C strand bias, and the short …

Abstract G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-classical DNA or RNA secondary structures that
have been first observed decades ago. Over the years, these four-stranded structural motifs …

In addition to the canonical double helix, DNA can fold into various other inter-and
intramolecular secondary structures. Although many such structures were long thought to be …

Abstract Guanine-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical four-stranded structures that can
be formed in guanine (G) rich nucleic acid sequences. A great number of G-rich sequences …
