Telomere structure and stability: covalency in hydrogen bonds, not resonance assistance, causes cooperativity in guanine quartets
C Fonseca Guerra, H Zijlstra, G Paragi… - … A European Journal, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
We show that the cooperative reinforcement between hydrogen bonds in guanine quartets is
not caused by resonance‐assisted hydrogen bonding (RAHB). This follows from extensive …
