Triplex DNA binders can effectively control copper-catalysed alkyne-azide click reactions in DNA architecture, such that either duplex or triplex DNA directed reactions of terminally attached azides and alkynes occur, in the absence or presence of triplex DNA binder, respectively.

In the field of drug development, the quest for novel compounds that bind to DNA with high affinity and specificity never ends. In the present work, we report the newest development in this field, namely, triplex DNA-specific binding ligands based on the 5-substituted flavone scaffold in our lab. Biophysical studies showed that the newly synthesized flavone derivatives (depending on the side chains) bind to triplex DNA with binding affinities better than or similar to 5-substituted 3,3',4',7-tetramethoxyflavonoids.

Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a specific enzyme capable of recognizing and cleaving triplex DNA structures and releasing 5'-flap fragments. It plays a crucial role in the DNA metabolism of cells, participating in DNA replication and the repair of damaged DNA. Additionally, FEN1 is overexpressed in various tumor tissues, promoting tumor progression and drug resistance through different regulatory mechanisms.

In this work, strategies for the detection of pyrimidine-rich DNA target sequences based on the formation of duplex and antiparallel triplex structures are studied. The presence of the target is detected from the changes in fluorescence of silver nanoclusters stabilized by the corresponding complementary DNA probes. In all cases, the formation of intermolecular structures has been assessed by means of melting experiments and multivariate analysis.

Aging constitutes complex and dynamic alterations in molecular and physiological processes and is associated with numerous disorders, in part due to increased genetic instability. The aging population is projected to double by 2050, underscoring the urgent need to better understand the relationships between aging and age-related disorders. Repetitive DNA elements are intrinsic sources of genetic instability and have been found to co-localize with mutation hotspots in human cancer genomes.

Peptides are well known for forming nanoparticles, while DNA duplexes, triplexes and tetraplexes create rigid nanostructures. Accordingly, the covalent conjugation of peptides to DNA/RNA produces hybrid self-assembling features and may lead to interesting nano-assemblies distinct from those of their individual components. Herein, we report the preparation of a collagen mimetic peptide incorporating lysine in its backbone, with alkylamino side chains radially conjugated with G-rich PNA [collagen-(PNA-GGG)].
