DNA i-Motifs With Guanidino-i-Clamp Residues: The Counterplay Between Kinetics and Thermodynamics and Implications for the Design of pH Sensors

I-motif structures, adopted by cytosine-rich DNA strands, have attracted considerable interest as possible regulatory elements in genomes. Applied science exploits the advantages of i-motif stabilization under acidic conditions: i-motif-based pH sensors and other biocompatible nanodevices are being...
