Antiviral Activity of the G-Quadruplex Ligand TMPyP4 against Herpes Simplex Virus-1
The herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) genome is extremely rich in guanine tracts that fold into G-quadruplexes (G4s), nucleic acid secondary structures implicated in key biological functions. Viral G4s were visualized in HSV-1 infected cells, with massive virus cycle-dependent G4-formation peaking duri...
