Organic small molecules that can recognize and bind to G-quadruplex and i-Motif nucleic acids have great potential as selective drugs or as tools in drug target discovery programs …
Of the current next-generation sequencing technologies, SMRT sequencing is sometimes overlooked. However, attributes such as long reads, modified base detection and high …
G-quadruplexes are guanine-rich nucleic acids that fold by forming successive quartets of guanines (the G-tetrads), stabilized by intra-quartet hydrogen bonds, inter-quartet stacking …

Abstract G-quadruplexes (G4s), which are known to have important roles in regulation of key biological processes in both normal and pathological cells, are the most actively studied non …
Genomic sequences susceptible to form G-quadruplexes (G4s) are always flanked by other nucleotides, but G4 formation in vitro is generally studied with short synthetic DNA or RNA …

We provide theoretical predictions of the intrinsic stability of different arrangements of guanine quadruplex (G-DNA) stems. Most computational studies of nucleic acids have …
The role of G-quadruplexes in human cancers is increasingly well-defined. Accordingly, G- quadruplexes can be suitable drug targets and many small molecules have been identified …
