The formation of the DNA G-quadruplex is induced by the addition of a novel porphyrin carrying four cationic tethers. Circular dichroism spectroscopy reveals that the porphyrin binds to Tetrahymena telomeric repeat to form G-quadruplex under stabilizing-cation-deficient and no buffer conditions.
新型卟啉携带四个正电荷连接臂,通过添加该卟啉诱导 DNA G-四链体的形成。圆二色光谱表明,在稳定化阳离子缺乏和无缓冲条件下,该卟啉与四膜虫端粒重复序列结合形成 G-四链体。
