Abstract
An NMR structural study of the interaction between a small-molecule optical probe (DAOTA-M2) and a G-quadruplex from the promoter region of the c-myc oncogene revealed that they interact at 1:2 binding stoichiometry. NMR-restrained structural calculations show that binding of DAOTA-M2 occurs mainly through π-π stacking between the polyaromatic core of the ligand and guanine residues of the outer G-quartets. Interestingly, the binding affinities of DAOTA-M2 differ by a factor of two for the outer G-quartets of the unimolecular parallel G-quadruplex under study. Unrestrained MD calculations indicate that DAOTA-M2 displays significant dynamic behavior when stacked on a G-quartet plane. These studies provide molecular guidelines for the design of triangulenium derivatives that can be used as optical probes for G-quadruplexes.

List of 1 G4-helix

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.
