Helquat dyes targeting G-quadruplexes as a new class of anti-HIV-1 inhibitors

Abstract The secondary structure of nucleic acids containing quartets of guanines, termed G-quadruplexes, is known to regulate the transcription of many genes. Several G-quadruplexes can be formed in the HIV-1 long terminal repeat promoter region and their stabilization results in the inhibition of...
