- Abstract
- Potassium can stabilize the formation of chair- or edge-type quadruplex DNA structures and appears to be the only naturally occurring cation that can do so. As quadruplex DNAs may be important in the structure of telomere, centromere, triplet repeat and other DNAs, information about the details of the potassium-quadruplex DNA interactions are of interest. The structures of the 1:1 and the fully saturated, 2:1, potassium-DNA complexes of d(GGTTGGTGTGGTTGG) have been determined using the combination of experimental NMR results and restrained molecular dynamics simulations. The refined structures have been used to model the interactions at the potassium binding sites. Comparison of the 1:1 and 2:1 potassium:DNA structures indicates how potassium binding can determine the folding pattern of the DNA. In each binding site potassium interacts with the carbonyl oxygens of both the loop thymine residues and the guanine residues of the adjacent quartet.

List of 1 G4-helix [summary · schematics · tetrads · stems · costacks · homepage]
In DSSR, a G4-helix is defined by stacking interactions of
G-tetrads, regardless of backbone connectivity, and may contain more than one G4-stem.

List of 1 G4-stem [summary · schematics · tetrads · helices · costacks · homepage]
In DSSR, a G4-stem is defined as a G4-helix with
backbone connectivity. Bulges are also allowed along each of the four strands.
