摘要
We have examined the formation of intramolecular quadruplex DNA structures in which the loops have been extended so as to generate short DNA duplexes. Fluorescence melting and DNase I cleavage studies show that duplexes can be formed within each loop, but that duplexes between the loops are not stable.
