Abstract

The aim of this work is to compare the physicochemical properties of three oligonucleotidic sequences, d(TGGGT), d(TGGGGT) and d(TGGGGGT), which assemble to form quadruplex structures with the same molecularity, but containing three, four, and five G-quartets, respectively. The addition of one or two G-tetrads greatly increases both the enthalpy and Tm values of the quadruplex dissociation.
