Summary
2'-f-riboguanosine and 2'-f-arabinoguanosine modified g-quadruplex with v-loop and all-syn g-tract

Abstract
Mixed 2'-F-riboguanosine and 2'-F-arabinoguanosine disubstitutions of a hybrid-type G-quadruplex are found to induce a refolding into two alternative structures with different types of V-loops upon positional exchange of the two G analogs. While conformational preferences of the incorporated G surrogates fail to fully account for the observed rearrangements, additional hydrogen bonds with a fluorine acceptor are suggested to be critical determinants of the two distinct V-loop conformers imposing different tetrad polarities.

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.
