Tiny telomere DNA. [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We describe the design, synthesis and biophysical characterization of a novel DNA construct in which a folded quadruplex structure is joined to a standard double helix. Circular dichroism, gel electrophoresis, three-dimensional UV melting and differential scanning calorimetry were all used to characterize the structure. Rigorous molecular dynamics simulations were used to build a plausible atomic-level structural model of the DNA construct. This novel DNA construct provides a model for the duplex-quadruplex junction region at the end of chromosomal DNA and offers a system for the study of structure-selective ligand binding.
