Identification of New Natural DNA G-Quadruplex Binders Selected by a Structure-Based Virtual Screening Approach

The G-quadruplex DNA structures are mainly present at the terminal portion of telomeres and can be stabilized by ligands able to recognize them in a specific manner. The recognition process is usually related to the inhibition of the enzyme telomerase indirectly involved and over-expressed in a high...
