Molecular crowding of the cosolutes induces an intramolecular i-motif structure of triplet repeat DNA oligomers at neutral pH
Abstract
We now present the first example in which triplet repeat DNAs adopt the i-motif structure at neutral pH by molecular crowding. Crowding stabilized the i-motif and the pK(a) of N3 of cytosine was raised in such a microenvironment. Molecular crowding is known to accelerate the formation of the multi-stranded i-motif while the triplet repeats adopt the single-strand structure.

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.
