Perusal of local structural features together with G/A-to-T modifications uncovered critical role of A5 for formation of distinct antiparallel two-quartet and not three-quartet topology that would be expected based on sequence with four GGG-tracts alone. Structural changes induced by A5-to-T5 modification include a switch in orientation and relative positions of G-strands that together with anti to syn reorientation of G12 provide insights into complexity of intricate interactions that influence folding process of G-rich DNA. Understanding the impact of loop residues for overall stability and formation of G-quadruplexes advances our knowledge and ability to predict structures adopted by G-rich sequences which are involved in regulatory mechanisms in cell and may also facilitate drug design driven by structural insights.
