G-quadruplexes and G-quadruplex ligands: targets and tools in antiviral therapy.

abstract：:Using circular dichroism spectroscopy, UV absorption spectroscopy and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, we studied conformational properties of guanine-rich DNA strands of the fragile X chromosome repeats d(GGC)n, d(GCG)n and d(CGG)n, with n = 2, 4, 8 and 16. These strands are generally considered in the literature ...
