title: Closer to nature: an ATP-driven bioinspired catalytic oxidation process.
abstract: The capability of DNA to acquire enzyme-like properties has led to the emergence of the so-called DNAzyme field; herein, we take a further leap along this nature-inspired road, demonstrating that a template assembled synthetic G-quartet (TASQ) can act as a pre-catalyst for catalytic peroxidase-mimicking oxidation reactions, whatever its nature (guanine or guanosine-based G-quartets), in an ATP-dependent manner, thereby bringing this bioinspired TASQzyme process even closer to nature.
