Abstract
Fluorescence imaging probes for specific G-quadruplex (G4) conformations are of considerable interest in biomedical research. Herein, we present the synthesis and the binding properties of a new water-soluble near-infrared (NIR) amphiphilic squaraine dye (CAS-C1) which is capable of selective detection of parallel over non-parallel and non G4 topologies. The striking changes in its linear optical response upon binding to parallel G4s give rise to high fluorescence quantum yields (Φ f ≈ 0.7) and one-photon molecular brightness in the far-red-NIR region. The outstanding recognition process of CAS-C1 for parallel G4s via end-stacking provides binding constants in the nanomolar regime (K b = 107 to 108 M-1) awarding it as one of the most potent parallel G4 binders currently available. Moreover, the CAS-C1-parallel G4 system exhibits large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-sections and molecular brightness in the second NIR biological transparency window (λ ≈ 1275 nm), making it an ideal candidate for NIR-to-NIR ultrasensitive two-photon procedures.

Abstract
Spatiotemporal control over the regulation of intra- and intermolecular motions in naturally occurring systems is systematically studied to expand the toolbox of mechanical operations in multicomponent nanoarchitectures. DNA is ideally suited for programming light-powered processes that are based on a minimalist molecular design. Here, the noncovalent incorporation of bistable photoswitches into B-like DNA moieties is shown to trigger the thermal transition midpoint of the duplexes by converting visible light into directed mechanical work by orchestrating the collective actions of the photoresponsive chromophores and the host DNA nanostructures. Besides its practical applications, the resulting hybrid nanosystem bears unique features of modulability, biocompatibility, reversibility, and addressability, which are key components for developing molecular photon-controlled programmed materials.

Abstract
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are unique four-stranded nucleic acid secondary structures formed by G-rich nucleic acid sequences which are prevalent in gene promoter and telomere regions and deemed to play essential roles in many biological and pathological processes. Although attentions to G4s have been paid for nearly 40 years, G4 selectivity and its topology discrimination in cells is still pending. Small fluorescence molecules are emerging as a versatile tool of interrogation of cellular features in vivo. Herein, a new class of bis(4-aminobenzylidene)acetone derivatives GD1, GD2, and GD3 with excellent environment-sensitive emission properties were developed and used for fluorescent detection of G4s. Among them, compound GD3 owning four methoxy groups presented preferable capability of lighting up parallel G4s with a strong red-emission enhancement. The photophysical property of GD3 was systematically investigated to elucidate the turn-on mechanism of GD3 toward parallel G4 structures, which reveal that the binding-induced polarity change of the microenvironment around GD3 together with the fluorophore conformational confinement affected the molecular intramolecular charge-transfer state and resulted the enhanced emission. G4s staining with GD3 in fixed cells was further applied, demonstrating GD3 a promising probe with the ability to visualize the distribution of G4 structures in biological processes. In general, this study provides a new potential scaffold-bis(4-aminobenzylidene)acetone-for design of G4-selective fluorescence probes.

Abstract
We show that the incorporation of chiral bioinspired photochromic compounds into inherently chiral DNA matrices enables the building of smart nanoscale photoswitchable chiroptical assemblies tunable over a wide range of wavelengths. Moreover, the use of light as external trigger affords precise control of the resulting hybrid DNA nanostructures, and their chiroptical activities can be spatially modulated without photochemical fatigue.

Abstract
Target selectivity is one of the main challenges in the search for small molecules able to act as effective and non-toxic anticancer and/or antiviral drugs. To achieve this goal, handy, rapid and reliable High Throughput Screening methodologies are needed. We here describe a novel functionalization for the solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides on Controlled Pore Glass, including a flexible hexaethylene glycol spacer linking the first nucleoside through the nucleobase via a covalent bond stable to the final deprotection step. This allowed us preparing fully deprotected oligonucleotides still covalently attached to their supports. In detail, on this support we performed both the on-line synthesis of different secondary structure-forming oligonucleotides and the affinity chromatography-based screenings of conformation-selective G-quadruplex ligands. By using a fluorescent core-extended naphthalene diimide with different emitting response upon binding to sequences folding into G-quadruplexes of different topologies, we have been able to discriminate not only G-quadruplex vs. duplex DNA structures, but also different G-quadruplex conformations on the glass beads by confocal microscopy.

Abstract
G-quadruplexes are four-stranded nucleic acid secondary structures that are formed in guanine-rich sequences. G-quadruplexes are widely distributed in functional regions of the human genome and transcriptome, such as human telomeres, oncogene promoter regions, replication initiation sites, and untranslated regions. Many G-quadruplex-forming sequences are found to be associated with cancer, and thus, these non-canonical nucleic acid structures are considered to be attractive molecular targets for cancer therapeutics with novel mechanisms of action. In this mini review, we summarize recent advances made by our lab in the study of G-quadruplex-targeted natural alkaloids and their derivatives toward the development of potential anticancer agents.

Abstract
The implication of guanine-rich DNA sequences in biologically important roles such as telomerase dysfunction and the regulation of gene expression has prompted the search for structure-specific G-quadruplex agents for targeted diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Herein, we report on a near-infrared (NIR) two-photon poly(cationic) anthracene-based macromolecule able to selectively target G-quadruplexes (G4s) over genomic double-stranded DNA. In particular, the striking changes in its linear and third-order nonlinear optical properties, combined with the emergence of a strong induced electronic circular dichroism (ECD) signal upon binding to canonical and noncanonical DNA secondary structures allowed for a highly specific detection of several different G4s. Furthermore, through a detailed computational analysis we bring compelling evidence that our probe intercalation within G4s is a thermodynamically favored event, and we fully rationalize the spectroscopic evolution resulting from this complexation event by providing a reasonable explanation regarding the origin of the peculiar ECD effect that accompanies it.
