In this work we investigated the interaction between the short ac(4)a C-rich peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probe and two intramolecular G-quadruplex targets having the same G-tetrad core, but different folding topologies. The T(G(4)T)(3)G(4)T and the recently reported tetra-end-linked-(TG(4)T)(4) G-rich oligonucleotides (GROs) were chosen and synthesized for this study. UV, CD, and MS experiments revealed the formation of novel 1:1 G-quadruplex-PNA complexes besides the expected DNA-PNA heteroduplexes.
