Abstract

In this work, the effects of terminal adenines on the formation and stability of tetramolecular G-quadruplexes (G4s) have been studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), UV, CD and NMR spectroscopy. Several evidences suggested that the sequences d(AG n A) (n = 4 or 5) form stable uncompleted tetramolecular G4 at acidic condition which is different from the canonical one in the neutral condition. In addition, hydrolysis of guanine has also been observed in acidic condition that may occur for unpaired strands rather than in complete G4. Thus, a new G4 topology containing incomplete G-quartet is proposed that is very stable and particularly presents in acidic ammonium ions solution. The information presented in this study provides the new insight on the polymorphism of G4s in acidic environment, which may help understand of the special role of adenines on the formation of G4s., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
