Binding of Small Molecules to G-quadruplex DNA in Cells Revealed by Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy of o-BMVC Foci

G-quadruplex (G4) structures have recently received increasing attention as a potential target for cancer research. We used time-gated fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) with a G4 fluorescent probe, 3,6-bis(1-methyl-2-vinylpyridinium) carbazole diiodide (o-BMVC), to measure the number o...
