5HIX - PubMed Abstract:
Quinoline-based oligoamide foldamers have been identified as a potent class of ligands for G-quadruplex DNA. Their helical structure is thought to target G-quadruplex loops or grooves and not G-tetrads. We report a co-crystal structure of the antiparallel hairpin dimeric DNA G-quadruplex (G 4 T 4 G 4 ) 2 with tetramer 1-a helically folded oligo-quinolinecarboxamide bearing cationic side chains-that is consistent with this hypothesis. Multivalent foldamer-DNA interactions that modify the packing of (G 4 T 4 G 4 ) 2 in the solid state are observed.
