Abstract
The human telomeric G-quadruplex structure is a promising target for the design of cancer drugs. The selectivity of G-quadruplex ligands with respect to duplex genomic DNA is of especial importance. The high selectivity of polyamine conjugated perylene derivatives appears to be regulated by side-chain charge density, as indicated by data from a FRET melting assay and induced CD spectroscopy.
