Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of continuous monomolecular G-wires, made of guanine tetrads, composed of single, self-folded poly(G) strands of thousands of bases were carried out. The cation-independent wires were characterized using gel electrophoresis, UV spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The G-wires showed high stability and resistance to heat treatment. The wires were utterly insensitive and resistant to DNase that efficiently degrades native DNA.
