摘要
(Chemical Equation Presented) A stable i: The i-motif is a unique, four-stranded DNA structure associated with cytosine-rich sequences at the ends of human chromosomes. This is the first report of an i-motif stabilized by a deoxy-cytidine analogue and demonstrates the importance of the sugar conformation in the i-motif structure. © 2006 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
