title: High fluorescence selectivity and visual detection of G-quadruplex structures by a novel dinuclear ruthenium complex.
abstract: A novel dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex with high fluorescent selectivity between DNA quadruplex structures and duplex structures was generated, and using an iodide-quenching strategy, G-quadruplex structures can be easily distinguished from duplex structures by the naked eye.
