NMR spectroscopy of G-quadruplexes

G-rich DNA and RNA sequences can form four-stranded structures called G-quadruplexes. Such structures have gained significant interest in the past decade with increasing evidence of their biological role. G-quadruplex structures can be polymorphic and dynamic. NMR spectroscopy has played an important role in G-quadruplex research. Here we review on the application of NMR techniques to study structure, dynamics and interaction of G-quadruplexes.
