An i-motif/duplex junction was evaluated with respect to its ability to replace the protons from the hemi-protonated C:CH+ pairs by AgI ions to form C–AgI–C base pairs. Interestingly, only one such m...

The Cover Feature shows a parallel-stranded DNA duplex with a terminally attached luminescent lanthanoid complex, represented by a magic wand that lights up when the corresponding spell is cast. The ....

A family of 16 platinum(ii) complexes was synthesized with the aim of obtaining water-soluble luminescent coordination compounds for guanine quadruplex (G4) binding. The complexes share a common tride...

The formation of metal-mediated base pairs comprised of HQIm (3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinolin-5-ol) and/or CaIm (imidazole-4-carboxylate) induces a significant thermal stabilization of DNA with the 3d meta....
