Functional nucleic acids with fluorescence properties are powerful research tools for both
biomolecular analysis and biological nanomaterials. This review collected these interesting …

Base‐modified fluorescent nucleoside analog probes have been very valuable in the study
of nucleic acid structure and function. Many of them structurally resemble natural bases, and …

The structural and regulatory elements in therapeutically relevant RNAs offer many
opportunities for targeting by small molecules, yet fundamental understanding of what drives …

DNA polymerases can process a wide variety of structurally diverse nucleotide substrates,
but the molecular basis by which the analogs are processed is not completely understood …

Abstract Development of probes that can discriminate G-quadruplex (GQ) structures and
indentify efficient GQ binders on the basis of topology and nucleic acid type is highly desired …

Three-dimensional RNA structures are notoriously difficult to determine, and the link
between secondary structure and RNA conformation is only beginning to be understood …

Viscosity-sensitive fluorophores, fluorescent molecular rotors based on aminobenzylidene–
cyanoacetamide moiety, were tethered to 2′-deoxycytidine triphosphate via a …

Abstract The unusual 2-aminoadenine (Z), a fairly exceptional base that is different from four
types of normal nucleobases (ATCG), has also been detected in carbon-rich meteorites and …

Ribosome‐inactivating proteins, a family of highly cytotoxic proteins, interfere with protein
synthesis by depurinating a specific adenosine residue within the conserved α‐sarcin/ricin …

Exquisite recognition and folding properties have rendered nucleic acids as useful
supramolecular synthons for the construction of programmable architectures. Despite their …
