Novel dual-functional regulation of a chair-like antiparallel G-quadruplex inducing assembly–disassembly of a cyanine dye

Biomolecules are promising templates that play important roles in controlling the supramolecular assembly process more flexibly and precisely due to their unique characteristic structures. Here we first present a G-quadruplex with a chair-like antiparallel motif as a novel dual-functional regulation template in the aggregation of a cyanine dye.
