    Abstract Guanine (G) hydrogels are very attractive materials made by the supramolecular organization of G-derivatives in water. In this paper, hydrogels composed of guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP) and guanosine (Gua), that make long, flexible and knotted G-quadruplexes, were investigated by small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) to comprehend the origin of their unique orientational properties. The SAXS intensity, analysed at a fixed scattering vector modulus

    Abstract Purpose: Dose assessment intercomparisons within the RENEB network were performed for triage biodosimetry analyzing G
    Materials and methods: Comparative analysis among different partners for dose assessment included shipment of PCC-slides and captured images to construct dose-response curves for up to 6 Gy γ-rays. Accident simulation exercises were performed to assess the suitability of the PCC assay by detecting speed of analysis and minimum number of cells required for categorization of potentially exposed individuals.
    Results: Calibration data based on Giemsa-stained fragments in excess of 46 PCC were obtained by different partners using galleries of PCC images for each dose-point. Mean values derived from all scores yielded a linear dose-response with approximately 4 excess-fragments/cell/Gy. To unify scoring criteria, exercises were carried out using coded PCC-slides and/or coded irradiated blood samples. Analysis of samples received 24 h post-exposure was successfully performed using Giemsa staining (1 excess-fragment/cell/Gy) or centromere/telomere FISH-staining for dicentrics.
    Conclusions: Dose assessments by RENEB partners using appropriate calibration curves were mostly in good agreement. The PCC assay is quick and reliable for whole- or partial-body triage biodosimetry by scoring excess-fragments or dicentrics in G

    Abstract In this paper, we report studies concerning four variants of the G-quadruplex forming anti-HIV-integrase aptamer T30923, in which specific 2'-deoxyguanosines have been singly replaced by 8-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine residues, with the aim to exploit the methyl group positioned in the G-quadruplex grooves as a steric probe to investigate the interaction aptamer/target. Although, the various modified aptamers differ in the localization of the methyl group, NMR, circular dichroism (CD), electrophoretic and molecular modeling data suggest that all of them preserve the ability to fold in a stable dimeric parallel G-quadruplex complex resembling that of their natural counterpart T30923. However, the biological data have shown that the T30923 variants are characterized by different efficiencies in inhibiting the HIV-integrase, thus suggesting the involvement of the G-quadruplex grooves in the aptamer/target interaction.

    Abstract G-quadruplex structures formed by oligodeoxyribonucleotides TGGU(NH2)GGT (AM, U(NH2) = 5-amino-2'-deoxyuridine), TGGU(Br)GGT (BR, U(Br) = 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine) and TGGTGGT (TH) have been investigated through circular dichroism, nuclear magnetic resonance, gel electrophoresis and molecular modeling techniques. Collected data indicate that all 7-mer oligonucleotides form tetramolecular parallel G-quadruplex structures with all residues adopting anti glycosidic bonds. In the case of AM, data suggest the occurrence of a novel U(NH2)-tetrad characterized by eight hydrogen bonds that stabilizes the G-quadruplex structure more efficiently than U(Br)- and T-tetrads.

    Abstract G-quadruplexes are higher-order nucleic acid structures that can form in G-rich telomeres and promoter regions of oncogenes. Telomeric quadruplex stabilization by small molecules can lead to telomere uncapping, followed by DNA damage response and senescence, as well as chromosomal fusions leading to deregulation of mitosis, followed by apoptosis and downregulation of oncogene expression. We report here on investigations into the mechanism of action of tetra-substituted naphthalene diimide ligands on the basis of cell biologic data together with a National Cancer Institute COMPARE study. We conclude that four principal mechanisms of action are implicated for these compounds: 1) telomere uncapping with subsequent DNA damage response and senescence; 2) inhibition of transcription/translation of oncogenes; 3) genomic instability through telomeric DNA end fusions, resulting in mitotic catastrophe and apoptosis; and 4) induction of chromosomal instability by telomere aggregate formation.
