An in silico study of the differential effect of oxidation on two biologically relevant G-quadruplexes: possible implications in oncogene expression.

G-quadruplex structures, formed from guanine rich sequences, have previously been shown to be involved in various physiological processes including cancer-related gene expression. Furthermore, G-quadruplexes have been found in several oncogene promoter regions, and have been shown to play a role in...
