Antiparallel RNA G-quadruplex Formed by Human Telomere RNA Containing 8-Bromoguanosine

Abstract In this study, by combining nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), circular dichroism (CD), liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS), and gel electrophoresis, we report an unusual topological structure of the RNA G-quadruplex motif formed by human telomere RNA...
