Nucleic Acid i-Motif Structures in Analytical Chemistry

Author:
Alba, Joan Josep  Sadurni, Anna  Gargallo, Raimundo  


Journal:
CRITICAL REVIEWS IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY


Issue Date:

Abstract(summary):

Under the appropriate experimental conditions of pH and temperature, cytosine-rich segments in DNA or RNA sequences may produce a characteristic folded structure known as an i-motif. Besides its potential role in vivo, which is still under investigation, this structure has attracted increasing interest in other fields due to its sharp, fast and reversible pH-driven conformational changes. This on/off switch at molecular level is being used in nanotechnology and analytical chemistry to develop nanomachines and sensors, respectively. This paper presents a review of the latest applications of this structure in the field of chemical analysis.
