Calcium-Dependent Chemiluminescence Catalyzed by a Truncated c-MYC Promoter G-Triplex DNA.

The dynamic landscape of non-canonical DNA G-quadruplex (G4) folding into G-triplex intermediates has led to the study of G-triplex structures and their ability to serve as peroxidase-mimetic DNAzymes. Here we report the formation, stability, and catalytic activity of a 5'-truncated promoter region G-triplex, c-MYC-G3. Through circular dichroism, we demonstrated that c-MYC-G3 adopts a stable, parallel-stranded G-triplex conformation.
