Tri‐G‐Quadruplex: Controlled Assembly of a G‐Quadruplex Structure from Three G‐Rich Strands

In my (DNA) dreams: A tri-G-quadruplex was constructed from three strands (T1–T3) of DNA using duplex formation to guide the G-rich tracts into close proximity with the addition of Li+ ions (see scheme). The defined G-quadruplex structure was formed upon addition of Na+ ions and characterized by gel electrophoresis and spectroscopy.
