Abstract excerpt
G-quadruplexes (four-stranded DNA secondary structures) are showing promise as new targets for anticancer therapies. Specifically, G-quadruplexes in the proximal promoter region of regulatory genes have the potential to act as silencer elements and thereby turn off transcription. Thus, compounds that are capable of binding to and stabilizing G-quadruplexes would be of great benefit. In this chapter we describe...
