Simultaneous binding of hybrid molecules constructed with dual DNA-binding components to a G-quadruplex and its proximal duplex by Asamitsu, Sefan, Obata, Shunsuke, Phan, Anh Tuân, Hashiya, Kaori, Bando, Toshikazu, Sugiyama, Hiroshi

“…Although a number of researchers have endeavored to discover and develop quadruplex-interactive molecules, poor ligand designability originating from topological similarity of the skeleton of diverse quadruplexes has remained a bottleneck for gaining specificity for individual quadruplexes. This work reports on hybrid molecules that were constructed with dual DNA-binding components, a cyclic imidazole/lysine polyamide (cIKP), and a hairpin pyrrole/imidazole polyamide (hPIP), with the aim toward specific quadruplex targeting by reading out the local duplex DNA sequence adjacent to designated quadruplexes in the genome. …”
