MSK researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

DNA is a linear biopolymer, a compound biomolecule in the form of a double helix. Polymers are made of monomers, and in DNA, these monomers are called nucleotides or nucleobases. The enzymes that ...

G-quadruplexes and Cancer "The DNA double helix is one of the most recognizable molecular structures in science," Dr. Batra says. "But DNA can actually exist in multiple shapes, and G-quadruplexes ...

"The DNA double helix is one of the most recognizable molecular structures in science," Dr. Batra says. "But DNA can actually exist in multiple shapes, and G-quadruplexes are one of them.
