摘要
(Chemical Equation Presented) Making a difference: Tetrahymena telomere sequences form well-ordered G-wires in the presence of cosolutes, whereas human telomere sequences remain as compact G-quadruplexes (see picture). A single base difference in telomere sequences therefore can affect telomere function under cell-like conditions. The G-wire structure may be useful in the design of DNA nanomaterials. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
