Quadruplex detection in human cells
DNA and RNA quadruplexes are extensively studied for the key roles they are suspected to play in the cellular regulation networks at both genomic and transcriptomic levels. The reliable detection of quadruplexes in cells was and remains a challenging task. Here, we describe the various strategies that have been implemented over the past years to visualize functionally relevant DNA and RNA quadruplexes in human cells, from immunodetection studies to the design and use of quadruplex-specific turn-on fluorescent probes.

Phen-DC 3 Induces Refolding of Human Telomeric DNA into a Chair-Type Antiparallel G-Quadruplex through Ligand Intercalation
Human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA structures are attractive anticancer drug targets, but the target's polymorphism complicates the drug design: different ligands prefer different folds, and very few complexes have been so…
Drug DesignParallel G-duplex and C-duplex DNA with Uninterrupted Spines of AgI-Mediated Base Pairs
Hydrogen bonding between nucleobases produces diverse DNA structural motifs, including canonical duplexes, guanine (G) quadruplexes and cytosine (C) i-motifs. Incorporating metal-mediated base pairs into nucleic acid str…
G4-Attention: Deep Learning Model with Attention for predicting DNA G-Quadruplexes
G-Quadruplexes are the four-stranded non-canonical nucleic acid secondary structures, formed by the stacking arrangement of the guanine tetramers. They are involved in a wide range of biological roles because of their ex…
Hairpins Participating in Folding of Human Telomeric Sequence Quadruplexes Studied by Standard and T-REMD Simulations
DNA G-hairpins are potential key structures participating in folding of human telomeric guanine quadruplexes (GQ). We examined their properties by standard MD simulations starting from the folded state and long T-REMD st…
DHX36-mediated G-quadruplex unfolding is ATP-independent?
Chen et al. solved the crystal structure of bovine DHX36 bound to a DNA with a G-quadruplex (G4) and a single-stranded DNA segment. They believed that the mechanism they proposed may represent a general model for describ…
