Loss of loop adenines alters human telomere d[AG3(TTAG3)3] quadruplex folding

Abasic (AP) lesions are the most frequent type of damages occurring in cellular DNA. Here we describe the conformational effects of AP sites substituted for 2′-deoxyadenosine in the first (ap7), second (ap13) or third (ap19) loop of the quadruplex formed in K+ by the human telomere DNA 5′-d[AG3(TTAG...
