Abstract

Quercetin is a kind of flavonoid which has been proved to exhibit anti-tumor activity. The interaction modes of quercetins with monomeric and dimeric G-quadruplexes were studied by absorption, fluorescence, CD, and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The ligands were found to be stacked with terminal tetrads of monomeric G-quadruplexes by intercalation and bound to dimeric G-quadruplexes by groove binding.

Graphical abstractThe different interaction modes of monomeric and dimeric G-quadruplexes with quercetin are reported.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
