Selectively recognizing heptad-interfaced G-quadruplexes by a molecular rotor with an ESIPT emission

Abstract

Heptad-interfaced G-quadruplexes (G4s), formed with GGA repeats located in the nuclear proto-oncogene c-myb promoter, can be selectively targeted by a prenylated flavonol of sophoflavescenol (Sop) with restriction of molecular rotation to trigger strong excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) emission.
