| Description | DNA guanine quadruplexes are all based on stacks of guanine tetrads, but they can be of many types differing by mutual strand orientation, topology, position and structure of loops, and the number of DNA molecules constituting their structure. In this article we have studied a series of nine DNA fragments (G3Xn)3G3, where X=A, C or T, and n=1, 2 or 3, to find how the particular bases and their numbers enable folding of the molecule into quadruplex and what type of quadruplex is formed. |
