title: Formation and destruction of the guanine quartet in solution observed by cold-spray ionization mass spectrometry.
abstract: The dynamic solution behavior during formation of the 2'-deoxyguanosine tetrad (G-quartet) upon addition of alkali metal cations and destruction of the G-quartet upon addition of the guanine-guanine mismatch recognition molecule naphthyridine dimer was observed by cold-spray ionization mass spectrometry.
