The effect of chemical modifications on the thermal stability of different G-quadruplex-forming oligonucleotides

A systematic study of the thermal and conformational properties of chemically modified G-quadruplexes of different molecularities is reported. The effect of backbone charge and atom size, thymine/uracyl substitution as well as the effect of modification at the ribose 2′-position was analyzed by UV s...
