We described a novel synthetic peptide in which a glutamine residue binds through hydrogen bonding to a guanine-base and a trytophan residue intercalates with K resulting in stabilization of a human telomeric G-quadruplex with high selectivity over its complementary c-rich strand and a double-stranded DNA and its complementary C-rich strand. This peptide offers great potential for cancer treatment by inhibiting the telomere extension by telomerase.
我们描述了一种新型合成肽,其中谷氨酰胺残基通过氢键与鸟嘌呤碱基结合,色氨酸残基与钾离子嵌入,从而稳定人端粒G-四链体,相对于其互补的富含C链以及双链DNA及其互补的富含C链具有高选择性。这种肽通过抑制端粒酶的端粒延伸,在癌症治疗方面具有巨大潜力。
