Binding of gemini bisbenzimidazole drugs with human telomeric G-quadruplex dimers: effect of the spacer in the design of potent telomerase inhibitors.

The study of anticancer agents that act via stabilization of telomeric G-quadruplex DNA (G4DNA) is important because such agents often inhibit telomerase activity. Several types of G4DNA binding ligands are known. In these studies, the target structures often involve a single G4 DNA unit formed by s...
