title: Tuneable DNA-based asymmetric catalysis using a G-quadruplex supramolecular assembly.
abstract: Described is the first modular construction of a G-quadruplex chiral catalyst. The key objective was to use G-quadruplex structures to act as chiral ligands that would allow access to either enantiomer of the product of a Diels-Alder reaction.
