DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.2c00654
Abstract: The G-quadruplex (G4) forming C9orf72 GGGGCC (G4C2) expanded hexanucleotide repeat (EHR) is the predominant genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Developing selective G4-binding ligands is challenging due to the conformational… read more here.

Discriminating between Parallel, Anti-Parallel and Hybrid G-Quadruplexes: Mechanistic Details on Their Binding to Small Molecules
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Molecules"
DOI: 10.3390/molecules27134165
Abstract: G-quadruplexes (G4) are now extensively recognised as a peculiar non-canonical DNA geometry that plays a prime importance role in processes of biological relevance whose number is increasing continuously. The same is true for the less-studied… read more here.
