Following G‐quartet formation by UV‐spectroscopy
Open accessAbstract
Oligodeoxynucleotides which include stretches of guanines form a well‐known tetrameric structure. We show that the recording of reversible absorbance changes at 295 nm allows to precisely monitor intramolecular guanine (G)‐quartet formation and dissociation. Accurate T m and thermodynamic values could be easily extracted from the data, whereas classical recordings at 260 nm led to a much larger uncertainty and in extreme cases, to completely inaccurate measurements. This inverted denaturation profile was observed for all G‐quartet‐forming oligonucleotides studied so far. This technique is very useful in all cases where intramolecular or intermolecular quadruplex formation is suspected.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
