Quantitative Formation of Monomeric G-Quadruplex DNA from Multimeric Structures of c-Myc Promoter Sequence.

ABSTRACT: G-Quadruplex (G4)-forming DNA sequences have a tendency to form stable multimeric structures. This can be problematic for studies with synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides. Herein, we describe a method that quantitatively converts multimeric intermolecular structures of the Pu27 sequence from the c-myc promoter into the desired monomeric G4 by alkaline treatment and refolding.
