Studies on the Interactions of 3,11-Difluoro-6,8,13-trimethyl-8<i>H</i>-quino[4,3,2-<i>kl</i>]acridinium and Insulin with the Quadruplex-Forming Oligonucleotide Sequence a2 from the Insulin-Linked Polymorphic Region

Recently, several quadruplex-DNA-forming sequences have been identified in the insulin-linked polymorphic region (ILPR), which is a guanine-rich oligonucleotide sequence in the promoter region of insulin. The formation of this non-canonical quadruplex DNA (G4-DNA) has been shown to be involved in th...
