Supramolecular polymers based on the quadruplex formation of ditopic guanosine macromonomers in nonaqueous media
The formation of supramolecular polymeric aggregates with a molecular mass of 100 kDa in a nonaqueous solution from a telechelic dimer of isopropylidene guanosine in the presence of K+ ions is reported. The possible structure of macromonomers resulting from the development of G(4) quartets was deduced from DOSY NMR, circular dichroism spectra, and dynamic light scattering measurements.
