Abstract
The formation of guanine-quadruplexes (G4s) in genomic DNA and RNA inhibits replication, transcription, and translation. Although several regions of the human genome exhibit G4-forming potential, the stability and topology of the G4s formed vary depending on the molecular environment. Here, we describe a protocol to quantitatively analyze the inhibitory effects of G4s with different stabilities and topologies on replication in conditions of molecular crowding.Entities:
