Understanding the effect of the nature of the nucleobase in the loops on the stability of the i-motif structure

The nature and the length of loops connecting cytosine tracts in i-motif structures may affect their stability. In this work, the influence of the nature of the nucleobases located in two of the loops of an intramolecular i-motif is studied using spectroscopy, separation techniques, and multivariate...
