Abstract

Guanine-rich DNA strands can fold in vitro into non-canonical DNA structures called G-quadruplexes. These structures may be very stable under physiological conditions. Evidence suggests that G-quadruplex structures may act as 'knots' within genomic DNA, and it has been hypothesized that proteins may...
