Designed NIR-I Emissive and Selective G-Quadruplex DNA Binder with Altered Organelle Specificity.
In this work, we report the discovery of a G-quadruplex DNA-selective and near-infrared (NIR-I) emissive G-quadruplex binder derived from a known styryl-quinolinium-based compound. This molecule is unique in its class, with an emission wavelength above 800 nm, and displays selective G-quadruplex binding. Among the synt...
