Targeting a c-MYC G-quadruplex DNA with a fragment library

Abstract

We report here on the screening of a fragment library against a G-quadruplex element in the human c-MYC promoter. The ten fragment hits had significant concordance between a biophysical assay, in silico modelling and c-MYC expression inhibition, highlighting the feasibility of applying a fragment-based approach to the targeting of a quadruplex nucleic acid.
