Temperature-sensitive supramolecules self-assembled by G-quadruplex DNA

Using guanine (G)-quadruplexes to construct supramolecular systems receives great attention because G-quadruplexes possess peculiar structural and electronic properties. In this paper, a temperature-sensitive supramolecule self-assembled by G-quadruplexes has been reported, whose structure was demonstrated to be a hexagonal column with rod-shaped G-quadruplex aggregates bundling together.
