 | | One embodiment is a method for identifying a compound that binds a native quadruplex DNA, which comprises contacting a test quadruplex DNA in a chair conformation with a candidate compound, and determining the presence or absence of binding between the candidate and the test quadruplex DNA. |
 | | One conformation may be favored over another conformation if it is present in the system at a fraction of 50% or greater, 75% or greater, or 80% or greater or 90% or greater with respect to another conformation (e. |
 | | Nucleic acids in a chair conformation often have similar but not identical structures when compared to one another and differences can manifest in loop size and nucleotide sequence, quadruplex geometry, quadruplex stability, the number of alternative chair structures for a given nucleotide sequence, and chemical reactivity, and binding of other molecules. |
