G-quadruplex structures can be formed at the single-stranded overhang of telomeric DNA, and ligands able to stabilize this structure have recently been identified as potential anticancer drugs. Among the potential G-quadruplex binders, we have studied the binding ability of berberine and sanguinarine, two members of the alkaloid family, an important class of natural products long known for medicinal purpose. Our spectroscopic (CD, NMR, and fluorescence) studies and molecular modeling approaches revealed binding modes at ligand–complex stoichiometries >1:1 and ligand self-association induced by DNA for the interactions of the natural alkaloids berberine and sanguinarine with the human telomeric G-quadruplex DNA.

PepFect14 Peptide Vector for Efficient Gene Delivery in Cell Cultures
The successful applicability of gene therapy approaches will heavily rely on the development of efficient and safe nonviral gene delivery vectors, for example, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs). CPPs can condense oligonucleotides and plasmid DNA (pDNA) into nanoparticles, thus allowing the t ... mehr
Dendrimeric Bowties Featuring Hemispheric-Selective Decoration of Ligands for microRNA-Based Therapy
Dendrimers feature a defined number of terminal groups that may bind RNA or be functionalized with bioactive molecules. These competing uses of terminal groups may create an impasse if the requisite density of ligands depletes the number of terminal groups for binding sufficient RNA, or vic ... mehr
The development of clay bionanocomposites requires processing routes with nanostructural control. Moreover, moisture durability is a concern with water-soluble biopolymers. Here, oriented bionanocomposite coatings with strong in-plane orientation of clay platelets are for the first time pre ... mehr
