G-Quadruplex nucleic acids or G-quadruplexes (G4s) are four-stranded DNA or RNA secondary structures that are formed in guanine-rich sequences.The fact that G-quadruplex structures are widely distributed in the human genome's functional regions, including telomeres, ribosomal DNA (rDNA), transcription start sites, promoter regions, and untranslated regions of mRNA, suggests that they may be crucial in the regulation of a number of cellular processes. In the regulatory regions of microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, G4s are also enriched and conserved.
Cancer and neurodegenerative diseases may be brought on by the erroneous formation of G4s on some genes. As a result, the therapeutic targets for these diseases are G4s in the genome. Small molecules, both natural and synthetic, are used to target G-quadruplexes specifically and have emerged as a new class of anticancer drugs.
