Dr. Anthony Mittermaier, professor and interim dean of students in the Department of Chemistry at McGill University, will present Dynamics of Guanine Quadruplexes.  Intramolecular guanine quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acid structures formed by four guanine (G)-rich tracts that assemble into a core of stacked planar tet- rads. G4-forming DNA sequences are enriched in gene promoters and are implicated in the control of gene expression and DNA replication. Consequently, there is great interest in targeting G4s with small molecules, particularly as cancer therapeutics....
