A fluorescent probe for the 3'-overhang of telomeric DNA based on competition between two interstrand G-quadruplexes.
A 6-mer oligonucleotide containing a fluorescent (Bod)U moiety has been used as a novel fluorescent probe for the 3'-overhang of telomeric DNA based on competition between non-fluorescent tetramolecular and fluorescent (3+1) intermolecular G-quadruplexes.
