The novel property of reversible regulation of parallel type G-quadruplexes with moderate temperature changes was discovered in thermoresponsive hydrogels using a universal chiroptical spectrophotometer 1 (UCS-1). This study is the first to report the regulation of the ssDNA steric structure by using a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) gel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
