Chemical and structural studies provide a mechanistic basis for recognition of the MYC G-quadruplex

Targeting noncoding nucleic acids with small molecules represents an important and significant challenge in chemical biology and drug discovery. Here the authors characterize DC-34, a small molecule that exhibits selective binding to specific G4 structures, and provide a structural basis for its sel...
