DNA G-Quadruplexes Activate Heme for Robust Catalysis of Carbene Transfer Reactions

[Image: see text] Guanine-rich single-stranded DNAs and RNAs that fold into G-quadruplexes (GQs) are known to complex tightly with Fe(II)-heme and Fe(III)-heme (hemin), ubiquitous cellular cofactors. Heme–GQ (DNA) complexes, known as heme·DNAzymes, are able to utilize hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant...
