Abstract

We provide a novel insight into dynamic conversion of the human telomeric G-quadruplexes and particularly a step-to-step transformation pathway of the long sequence containing two quadruplex units in K+ solution in a molecular crowding environment, implying a possible behavior of the human telomeric DNA under physiological conditions.
