G-quadruplex is one of the higher-order structures of DNA and RNA. G-quadruplexes are dynamic structures involved in transcription, translation, and replication in the cells. In this study, small compounds that bind and stabilize G-quadruplex will be designed and synthesized to regulate gene expression.
