They can exist in stacks of formations stabilized by Hoogstein hydrogen bonding and the presence of sodium or potassium ions between formations, which are called G-quadruplexes.
These structures are degraded at an abnormally high rate in sufferers of Werner syndrome. They can exist in stacks of formations stabilized by Hoogstein hydrogen bonding and the presence of sodium or potassium ions between formations, which are called G-quadruplexes. The majority of tumor cells demonstrate unusually high activity of the (*) reverse transcriptase that creates these structures. They are constructed of a series of TTAGGG repeats, and apoptosis or senescence results when they become too short. For 10 points, name these structures that temporarily solve the end-replication problem by protecting the exposed ends of chromosomes.
