Guanine-rich DNA and RNA sequences can fold into noncanonical nucleic acid structures
called G-quadruplexes (G4s). Since the discovery that these structures may act as scaffolds …

Multichromophoric biosystems represent a broad family with very diverse members, ranging
from light-harvesting pigment–protein complexes to nucleic acids. The former are designed …

Guanine quadruplex (G4) structures in the viral genome have a key role in modulating
viruses' biological activity. While several DNA G4 structures have been experimentally …

The human telomeric DNA 3′ single-stranded overhang comprises tandem repeats of the
sequence d (TTAGGG), which can fold into the stable secondary structure G-quadruplex …

Accurate quantitation of trace-level ATP biomarkers often suffers from interference of sample
matrix and remains a challenge. Herein, a novel magnetic biological nanosensor (MBNS) …

The genome of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is made up of a single-stranded RNA fragment
that can assume a specific secondary structure, whose stability can influence the virus's …

While a significant progress has recently been made in therapy of many cancers, the cure for
some high grade cancers, such as the astrocytic cancers, remains elusive. In the latter case …

We here propose a general and flexible approach, based on fragment diabatization, which
incorporates charge transfer states and significantly increases the reliability of excitonic …

The main insights into the photoactivated dynamics of guanine quadruplexes (G4s) recently
provided by quantum mechanical computations are concisely reviewed here. The …

The present study investigates the impact of praseodymium chloride on the conformational
transition between the B-form and Z-form of DNA. In the current communication, we employ …
