On Characterizing the Interactions between Proteins and Guanine Quadruplex Structures of Nucleic Acids

Figure 1

Side view of the human telomere guanine quadruplex in parallel (a) and antiparallel (b) conformations. Space filling models (c) for parallel (left) and antiparallel (right) quadruplexes. PDBs 1KF1 (a) and 143D (b). Guanines shown in green, thymines shown in blue, adenines shown in red, and the phosphoribose backbone shown in grey.
