G-quadruplexes: novel DNA structures controlling life from the beginning

The process by which a single cell, the zygote, becomes a fully formed organism has been a historic scientific enigma. Now we know that the information stored in the genes of the DNA is the responsible for

Human centromeric DNA is able to form quadruplex helices

The classical view of a chromosome that most of people have in mind is a cross-shaped figure, something like the letter X. Chromosomes look indeed like that when the cell is ready to divide and give rise

Time to tweak tremendously tiny trisoligonucleotide-tetrahedrons

DNA is most commonly known as the carrier of genetic information in all living beings on earth. For a chemist DNA is nothing more than a large molecule that can be artificially recreated in the lab on
