Abstract
Recognition of different human telomeric G-quadruplex structures has been a very important task for developing anti-cancer drug design. However, it also is a very challenging question since multiple conformational isomers of telomeric G-quadruplexes coexist under some conditions. Here, three different conformations including parallel, antiparallel, and mixed-type telomeric G-quadruplex structures have been well recognized by quinacrine (QNA) through monitoring its absorption, fluorescence, and fluorescence lifetime spectra. The multiple structures of H22 G-quadruplexes under physiological K(+) conditions could also be easily determined to coexist as mixed-type and antiparallel G-quadruplexes. The recognition mechanism based on the different binding affinity and binding sites has been further elucidated by association with the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) results.
