title: Bisbenzimidazole to benzobisimidazole: from binding B-form duplex DNA to recognizing different modes of telomere G-quadruplex.
abstract: A bisbenzimidazole was discovered to bind helix DNA, while related benzobisimidazole derivatives were found to bind and induce different G-quadruplex isomers.
