Abstract
Since the first report of DNAzyme by in vitro selection in 1994, catalytic DNA has investigated extensively, and their application has expanded continually in virtue of rapid advances in molecular biology and biotechnology. Nowadays, DNA is in the second prime time by way of DNA-based hybrid catalysts and DNA metalloenzymes in which helical chirality of DNA serves to asymmetric catalysis. DNA-based hybrid catalysts are attractive system to respond the demand of the times to pursuit green and sustainable society beyond traditional catalytic systems that value reaction efficiency. Herein, we highlight the recent advances and perspective of DNA-based hybrid catalysts with various aspects of DNA as a versatile scaffold for asymmetric synthesis. We hope that scientists in a variety of fields will be encouraged to join and promote remarkable evolution of this interesting research.

Abstract
A DNA-based artificial metalloenzyme (ArM) consisting of a copper(II) complex of 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dmbipy-Cu) bound to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) as short as 8 base pairs with only 2 contiguous central pairs (G for guanine and C for cytosine) catalyzes the highly enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction, Michael addition, and Friedel-Crafts alkylation in water. Molecular simulations indicate that these minimal sequences provide a single site where dmbipy-Cu is groove-bound and able to function as an enantioselective catalyst. Enantioselective preference inverts when d-DNA is replaced with l-DNA. When the DNA is conjugated to a hydrophobic tail, the obtained ArMs exhibit enantioselective performance in a methanol-water mixture superior to that of non-amphiphilic dsDNA, and dsDNA-amphiphiles with more complex G•C-rich sequences.

Abstract
The covalent linkage of catalytic units to aptamer sequence-specific nucleic acids exhibiting selective binding affinities for substrates leads to functional scaffolds mimicking native enzymes, nucleoapzymes. The binding of the substrates to the aptamer and their structural orientation with respect to the catalytic units duplicate the functions of the active center of enzymes. The possibility of linking the catalytic sites directly, or through spacer units, to the 5'-end, 3'-end, and middle positions of the aptamers allows the design of nucleoapzyme libraries, revealing structure-functions diversities, and these can be modeled by molecular dynamics simulations. Catalytic sites integrated into nucleoapzymes include DNAzymes, transition metal complexes, and organic ligands. Catalytic transformations driven by nucleoapzymes are exemplified by the oxidation of dopamine or l-arginine, hydroxylation of tyrosine to l-DOPA, hydrolysis of ATP, and cholic acid-modified esters. The covalent linkage of photosensitizers to the tyrosinamide aptamer leads to a photonucleoapzyme scaffold that binds the N-methyl-N'-(3-aminopropane)-4,4'-bipyridinium-functionalized tyrosinamide to the aptamer. By linking the photosensitizer directly, or through a spacer bridge to the 5'-end or 3'-end of the aptamer, we demonstrate a library of supramolecular photosensitizer/electron acceptor photonucleoapzymes mimicking the functions of photosystem I in the photosynthetic apparatus. The photonucleoapzymes catalyze the photoinduced generation of NADPH, in the presence of ferredoxin-NADP+-reductase (FNR), or the photoinduced H2 evolution catalyzed by Pt nanoparticles. The future prospects of nucleoapzymes and photonucleoapzymes are discussed.

Abstract
G-quadruplex DNAs (G4s) have been reported to exhibit the DNAzyme activities by binding with some metal complexes and functional organic ligands. However, there is a challenge to develop metalloenzyme-mimic G4-based innate DNAzymes using the complexed metal ions directly serving as the active centers. This will diversify DNAzymes for developing novel devices since G4 structures are more polymorphic than the other DNA foldings. In this work, we found that the lanthanide trivalent cerium ion of Ce3+ can bind to the human telomere G4 (htG4) according to a 1 : 2 binding mode favorable for creating metalloenzymes-mimic G4 DNAzymes. This Ce3+-G4 entity exhibits a peroxidase activity towards the oxidation of the substrate of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by hydrogen peroxide. The 5' G4 tetrads with the orderly arranged carbonyl oxygen atoms are believed to be the coordination sites for Ce3+ and favor the conversion between Ce3+ and Ce4+. Our work provides an alternative feasibility in developing the G4-based innate DNAzymes for variant applications.

Abstract
Natural biomolecules have been used extensively as chiral scaffolds that bind/surround metal complexes to achieve stereoselectivity in catalytic reactions. ATP is ubiquitously found in nature as an energy-storing molecule and can complex diverse metal cations. However, in biotic reactions ATP-metal complexes are thought to function mostly as co-substrates undergoing phosphoanhydride bond cleavage reactions rather than participating in catalytic mechanisms. Here, we report that a specific Cu(II)-ATP complex (Cu2+·ATP) efficiently catalyses Diels-Alder reactions with high reactivity and enantioselectivity. We investigate the substrates and stereoselectivity of the reaction, characterise the catalyst by a range of physicochemical experiments and propose the reaction mechanism based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. It is found that three key residues (N7, β-phosphate and γ-phosphate) in ATP are important for the efficient catalytic activity and stereocontrol via complexation of the Cu(II) ion. In addition to the potential technological uses, these findings could have general implications for the chemical selection of complex mixtures in prebiotic scenarios.

Abstract
The precise site-specific positioning of metal-ligand complexes on various DNA structures through covalent linkages has gained importance in the development of hybrid catalysts for aqueous-phase homogeneous catalysis. Covalently modified double-stranded and G-quadruplex DNA-based hybrid catalysts have been investigated separately. To understand the role of different DNA secondary structures in enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation, a well-known G-quadruplex-forming sequence was covalently modified at different positions. The catalytic performance of this modified DNA strand was studied in the presence and absence of a complementary DNA sequence, resulting in the formation of two different secondary structures, namely duplex and G-quadruplex. Indeed, the secondary structures had a tremendous effect on both the yield and stereoselectivity of the catalyzed reaction. In addition, the position of the modification, the topology of the DNA, the nature of the ligand, and the length of the linker between ligand and DNA were found to modulate the catalytic performance of the hybrid catalysts. Using the optimal linker length, the quadruplexes formed the (-)-enantiomer with up to 65% ee, while the duplex yielded the (+)-enantiomer with up to 62% ee. This study unveils a new and simple way to control the stereochemical outcome of a Friedel-Crafts reaction.

Abstract
The diverse secondary structures of nucleic acids are emerging as attractive chiral scaffolds to construct artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) for enantioselective catalysis. DNA-based ArMs containing duplex and G-quadruplex scaffolds have been widely investigated, yet RNA-based ArMs are scarce. Here we report that a cyclic dinucleotide of c-di-AMP and Cu2+ ions assemble into an artificial metalloribozyme (c-di-AMP⋅Cu2+ ) that enables catalysis of enantioselective Friedel-Crafts reactions in aqueous media with high reactivity and excellent enantioselectivity of up to 97 % ee. The assembly of c-di-AMP⋅Cu2+ gives rise to a 20-fold rate acceleration compared to Cu2+ ions. Based on various biophysical techniques and density function theory (DFT) calculations, a fine coordination structure of c-di-AMP⋅Cu2+ metalloribozyme is suggested in which two c-di-AMP form a dimer scaffold and the Cu2+ ion is located in the center of an adenine-adenine plane through binding to two N7 nitrogen atoms and one phosphate oxygen atom.

Nucleoapzymes: catalyst-aptamer conjugates as enzyme-mimicking structures. Emerg Top Life Sci 2019; 3:493-499.

Abstract
The conjugation of catalytic sites to sequence-specific, ligand-binding nucleic acid aptamers yields functional catalytic ensembles mimicking the catalytic/binding properties of native enzymes. These catalyst-aptamer conjugates termed 'nucleoapzymes' reveal structural diversity, and thus, vary in their catalytic activity, due to the different modes of conjugation of the catalytic units to the nucleic acid aptamer scaffold. The concept of nucleoapzymes is introduced with the assembly of a set of catalysts consisting of the hemin/G-quadruplex DNAzyme (hGQ) conjugated to the dopamine aptamer. The nucleoapzymes catalyze the oxidation of dopamine by H2O2 to yield aminochrome. The catalytic processes are controlled by the structures of the nucleoapzymes, and chiroselective oxidation of l-DOPA and d-DOPA by the nucleoapzymes is demonstrated. In addition, the conjugation of a Fe(III)-terpyridine complex to the dopamine aptamer and of a bis-Zn(II)-pyridyl-salen-type complex to the ATP-aptamer yields hybrid nucleoapzymes (conjugates where the catalytic site is not a biomolecule) that catalyze the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome by H2O2 and the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP, respectively. Variable, structure-controlled catalytic activities of the different nucleoapzymes are demonstrated. Molecular dynamic simulations are applied to rationalize the structure-catalytic function relationships of the different nucleoapzymes. The challenges and perspectives of the research field are discussed.

Abstract
Guanine-rich single-stranded DNAs and RNAs that fold into G-quadruplexes (GQs) are known to complex tightly with FeII-heme and FeIII-heme (hemin), ubiquitous cellular cofactors. Heme-GQ (DNA) complexes, known as heme·DNAzymes, are able to utilize hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant to vigorously catalyze a variety of one-electron (peroxidase) and two-electron (peroxygenase) oxidation reactions. Herein, we show that complexes of FeII-heme with GQs also robustly catalyze a mechanistically distinct reaction, carbene transfer to an alkene substrate. Significant enhancements were seen in both reaction kinetics and product turnover (∼180) relative to disaggregated FeII-heme in the absence of DNA or in the presence of other DNA folds, such as single-stranded or double-stranded DNA. Heme binds to GQs by end-stacking. Simple, intramolecularly folded GQs are unable to provide a complexly structured "distal side" environment to the bound heme; therefore, such DNAzymes do not display significant product stereoselectivity. However, intermolecular GQs with multiple pendant nucleotides show increasing stereoselectivity in addition to their enhanced catalytic rates. These results recapitulate the unique functional synergy and highlight the surprising catalytic versatility of complexes formed between heme and DNA/RNA GQs. Our findings suggest that heme·DNAzymes and heme·ribozymes may prove to be useful reagents for carbon-carbon bond forming "green" reactions carried out in vitro and likely within living cells.

Abstract
Catalytic nucleic acids consisting of a bis-Zn2+ -pyridyl-salen-type ([di-ZnII 3,5 bis(pyridinylimino) benzoic acid]) complex conjugated to the ATP aptamer act as ATPase-mimicking catalysts (nucleoapzymes). Direct linking of the Zn2+ complex to the 3'- or 5'-end of the aptamer (nucleoapzymes I and II) or its conjugation to the 3'- or 5'-end of the aptamer through bis-thymidine spacers (nucleoapzymes III and IV) provided a set of nucleoapzymes exhibiting variable catalytic activities. Whereas the separated bis-Zn2+ -pyridyl-salen-type catalyst and the ATP aptamer do not show any noticeable catalytic activity, the 3'-catalyst-modified nucleoapzyme (nucleoapzyme IV) and, specifically, the nucleoapzyme consisting of the catalyst linked to the 3'-position through the spacer (nucleoapzyme III) reveal enhanced catalytic features in relation to the analogous nucleoapzyme substituted at the 5'-position (kcat =4.37 and 6.88 min-1 , respectively). Evaluation of the binding properties of ATP to the different nucleoapzyme and complementary molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the distance separating the active site from the substrate linked to the aptamer binding site controls the catalytic activities of the different nucleoapzymes.

Abstract
The direct addition of water to a carbon-carbon double bond remains a challenge, but such a reaction is essential for the development of efficient catalysts that enable direct access to chiral alcohols. We now report on the enantioselective hydration of α,β-unsaturated ketones, catalyzed by modular DNA-based hybrid catalysts, affording β-hydroxy ketones with up to 87% enantiomeric excess. Oligonucleotides containing an intrastrand bipyridine ligand were readily synthesized by a straightforward process using an automated solid-phase synthesis. A library of DNA-based hybrid catalysts could be systematically generated based on the composition of nucleobases, and the incorporation of a binding ligand and a nonbinding steric moiety. This study demonstrates the potential of modular DNA-based hybrid catalysts as a toolbox to accomplish the challenging enantioselective hydration reaction.

Abstract
A series of artificial metal-base tetrads composed of a CuII cation coordinating to four pyridines, covalently attached to the ends of tetramolecular G-quadruplex DNA strands [LA-D d(G4 )]4 (LA-D =ligand derivatives), was systematically studied. Structurally, the square-planar [Cu(pyridine)4 ] complex behaves analogously to the canonical guanine quartet. Copper coordination to all studied ligand derivatives was found to increase G-quadruplex thermodynamic stability, tolerating a great variety of ligand linker lengths (1-5 atoms) and thus demonstrating the robustness of the chosen ligand design. Only at long linker lengths, the stabilizing effect of copper binding is compensated by the loss of conformational freedom. A previously reported ligand LE with chiral backbone enables incorporation at any oligonucleotide position. We show that ligand chirality distinctly steers CuII -induced G-quadruplex stabilization. 5'-End formation of two metal-base tetrads by tetramolecular G-quadruplex [LE2 d(G)4 ]4 shows that stabilization in the presence of CuII is not additive. All results are based on UV/Vis thermal denaturation, thermal difference, circular dichroism experiments and molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract
Traditional organic synthesis relies heavily on organic solvents for a multitude of tasks, including dissolving the components and facilitating chemical reactions, because many reagents and reactive species are incompatible or immiscible with water. Given that they are used in vast quantities as compared to reactants, solvents have been the focus of environmental concerns. Along with reducing the environmental impact of organic synthesis, the use of water as a reaction medium also benefits chemical processes by simplifying operations, allowing mild reaction conditions, and sometimes delivering unforeseen reactivities and selectivities. After the "watershed" in organic synthesis revealed the importance of water, the development of water-compatible catalysts has flourished, triggering a quantum leap in water-centered organic synthesis. Given that organic compounds are typically practically insoluble in water, simple extractive workup can readily separate a water-soluble homogeneous catalyst as an aqueous solution from a product that is soluble in organic solvents. In contrast, the use of heterogeneous catalysts facilitates catalyst recycling by allowing simple centrifugation and filtration methods to be used. This Review addresses advances over the past decade in catalytic reactions using water as a reaction medium.

Abstract
A new type of DNA metal complex hybrid catalyst, which is based on single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides, is described. It was shown that oligonucleotides as short as 14 nucleotides that fold into hairpin structures are suitable as nucleic acid components for DNA hybrid catalysts. With these catalysts, excellent enantioinduction in asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions with selectivity values as high as 96 % enantiomeric excess (ee) can be achieved. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that a rather flexible loop combined with a rigid stem region provides DNA scaffolds with these high selectivity values.

Abstract
There is an escalating interest of using double stranded DNA molecules as a chiral scaffold to construct metal-biomacromolecule hybrid catalysts for asymmetric synthesis. Several recent studies also evaluated the use of G-quadruplex DNA-based catalysts for asymmetric Diels-Alder and Friedel-Crafts reactions. However, there is still a lack of understanding of how different oligonucleotides, salts (such as NaCl and KCl), metal ligands and co-solvents affect the catalytic performance of quadruplex DNA-based hybrid catalysts. In this study, we aim to systematically evaluate these key factors in asymmetric Michael addition reactions, and to examine the conformational and molecular changes of DNA by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and gel electrophoresis. We achieved up to 95% yield and 50% enantiomeric excess (ee) when the reaction of 2-acylimidazole 1a and dimethylmalonate was catalyzed by 5'-G3 (TTAG3 )3 -3' (G4DNA1) in 20 mM MOPS (pH 6.5) containing 50 mM KCl and 40 µM [Cu(dmbipy)(NO3 )2 ], and G4DNA1 was pre-sonicated in ice bath for 10 min prior to the reaction. G-quadruplex-based hybrid catalysts provide a new tool for asymmetric catalysis, but future mechanistic studies should be sought to further improve the catalytic efficiency. The current work presents a systematic study of asymmetric Michael addition catalyzed by G-quadruplex catalysts constructed via non-covalent complexing, and an intriguing finding of the effect of pre-sonication on catalytic efficiency. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
The rational design of a set of hemin/G-quadruplex (hGQ)-dopamine binding aptamer (DBA) conjugates, acting as nucleoapzymes, is described. The nucleoapzyme constructs consist of a hGQ DNAzyme as a catalytic unit and DBA as a substrate binding unit that are brought into spatial proximity by a duplex scaffold composed of complementary oligonucleotide strands. When the hGQ unit is linked to the duplex scaffold via a single-strand DNA tether of variable length, the resulting nucleoapzymes reveal a moderate catalytic enhancement toward the H2O2-mediated oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome as compared to the process stimulated by the separated hGQ and DBA units (5-7 fold enhancement). This limited enhancement is attributed to inappropriate spatial positioning of the hGQ in respect to the dopamine binding site, and/or to the flexibility of the tether that links the hGQ catalytic site to the double-stranded scaffold. To solve this, rigidification of the hGQ/DBA conjugates by triplex oligonucleotide structures that anchor the hGQ to a duplex domain associated with the DBA units was achieved. By the sequential, programmed, triplex-controlled rigidification of the hGQ/DBA structure, a nucleoapzyme with superior catalytic activity toward the oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome is identified (30-fold catalytic enhancement). Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that in the resulting highly active rigidified nucleoapzyme structure, the hGQ catalytic site is positioned in spatial proximity to the opening of the DBA substrate binding site, thus rationalizing and supporting the enhanced catalytic functions of the system. Finally, the most active nucleoapzyme system was subjected to fuel- and anti-fuel strands that separate and re-assemble the nucleoapzyme structure, allowing "ON" and "OFF" switching of the nucleoapzyme catalytic functions.

Abstract
A novel concept to improve the catalytic functions of nucleic acids (DNAzymes) is introduced. The method involves the conjugation of a DNA recognition sequence (aptamer) to the catalytic DNAzyme, yielding a hybrid structure termed "nucleoapzyme". Concentrating the substrate within the "nucleoapzyme" leads to enhanced catalytic activity, displaying saturation kinetics. Different conjugation modes of the aptamer/DNAzyme units and the availability of different aptamer sequences for a substrate provide diverse means to design improved catalysts. This is exemplified with (i) The H2O2-mediated oxidation of dopamine to aminochrome using a series of hemin/G-quadruplex-dopamine aptamer nucleoapzymes. All nucleoapzymes reveal enhanced catalytic activities as compared to the separated DNAzyme/aptamer units, and the most active nucleoapzyme reveals a 20-fold enhanced activity. Molecular dynamics simulations provide rational assessment of the activity of the various nucleoapzymes. The hemin/G-quadruplex-aptamer nucleoapzyme also stimulates the chiroselective oxidation of L- vs D-DOPA by H2O2. (ii) The H2O2-mediated oxidation of N-hydroxy-L-arginine to L-citrulline by a series of hemin/G-quadruplex-arginine aptamer conjugated nucleoapzymes.

Abstract
The interaction between salmon testes DNA (st-DNA) and a series of Cu(II) polypyridyl complexes, i.e. [Cu(dmbpy)(NO3)2] (1) (dmbpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine), [Cu(bpy)(NO3)2] (2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), [Cu(phen)(NO3)2] (3) (phen = phenanthroline), [Cu(terpy)(NO3)2]·H2O (4) (terpy = 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine), [Cu(dpq)(NO3)2] (5) (dpq = dipyrido-[3,2-d:2',3'-f]-quinoxaline) and [Cu(dppz)(NO3)2] (6) (dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) was studied by UV/Vis absorption, Circular Dichroism, Linear Dichroism, EPR, Raman and (UV and vis) resonance Raman spectroscopies and viscometry. These complexes catalyse enantioselective C-C bond forming reactions in water with DNA as the source of chirality. Complex 1 crystallizes as an inorganic polymer with nitrate ligands bridging the copper ions, which adopt essentially a distorted square pyramidal structure with a fifth bridging nitrate ligand at the axial position. Raman spectroscopy indicates that in solution the nitrate ligands in 1, 2, 3 and 4 are displaced by solvent (H2O). For complex 1, multiple supramolecular species are observed in the presence of st-DNA in contrast to the other complexes, which appear to interact relatively uniformly as a single species predominantly, when st-DNA is present. Overall the data suggest that complexes 1 and 2 engage primarily through groove binding with st-DNA while 5 and 6 undergo intercalation. For complexes 3 and 4 the data indicates that both groove binding and intercalation takes place, albeit primarily intercalation. Although it is tempting to conclude that the groove binders give highest ee and rate acceleration, it is proposed that the flexibility and dynamics in binding of Cu(II) complexes to DNA are key parameters that determine the outcome of the reaction. These findings provide insight into the complex supramolecular structure of these DNA-based catalysts.

Abstract
Complexes of G-quadruplex DNA and Cu(II) ions have previously been applied as catalysts in asymmetric reactions, but the largely unspecific and noncovalent nature of the interaction has impeded understanding of the structural basis of catalysis. To better control the formation of a catalytically competent species, DNA quadruplexes were derivatized with linker-bpy-Cu(II) complexes in a site-specific manner and applied in asymmetric aqueous Michael additions. These modified quadruplexes exhibited high rate acceleration and stereoselectivity. Different factors were found to be important for the catalytic performance of the modified G-quadruplexes, among them, the position of modification, the topology of the quadruplex, the nature of the ligand, and the length of the linker between the ligand and DNA. Moving the same ligand by just two nucleotides inverted the stereochemical outcome: quadruplexes modified at position 10 formed the (-)-enantiomer with up to 92 % ee, while DNA derivatized at position 12 formed the (+)-enantiomer with up to 75 % ee. This stereopreference was maintained when applied to structurally different Michael acceptors. This work demonstrates a new and simple way to tune the stereoselectivity in DNA-based asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
We demonstrate the single-molecule imaging of the catalytic reaction of a Zn(2+)-dependent DNAzyme in a DNA origami nanostructure. The single-molecule catalytic activity of the DNAzyme was examined in the designed nanostructure, a DNA frame. The DNAzyme and a substrate strand attached to two supported dsDNA molecules were assembled in the DNA frame in two different configurations. The reaction was monitored by observing the configurational changes of the incorporated DNA strands in the DNA frame. This configurational changes were clearly observed in accordance with the progress of the reaction. The separation processes of the dsDNA molecules, as induced by the cleavage by the DNAzyme, were directly visualized by high-speed atomic force microscopy (AFM). This nanostructure-based AFM imaging technique is suitable for the monitoring of various chemical and biochemical catalytic reactions at the single-molecule level.

Abstract
The cofactors commonly involved in natural enzymes have provided the inspiration for numerous advances in the creation of artificial metalloenzymes. Nevertheless, to design an appropriate cofactor for a given biomolecular scaffold or vice versa remains a challenge in developing efficient catalysts in biochemistry. Herein, we extend the idea of G-quadruplex-targeting anticancer drug design to construct a G-quadruplex DNA metalloenzyme. We found that a series of terpyridine-Cu(ii) complexes (CuLn) can serve as excellent cofactors to dock with human telemetric G-quadruplex DNA. The resulting G-quadruplex DNA metalloenzyme utilising CuL1 catalyzes an enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction with enantioselectivity of >99% enantiomeric excess and about 73-fold rate acceleration compared to CuL1 alone. The terpyridine-Cu(ii) complex cofactors demonstrate dual functions, both as an active site to perform catalysis and as a structural regulator to promote the folding of human telemetric G-quadruplex DNA towards excellent catalysts.

Abstract
Guanine-rich single-stranded nucleic acids self-assemble into G-quadruplex nanostructures (predominately in the presence of K +-ions). Metalloporphyrins bind to the G-quadruplex nanostructures to form supramolecular assemblies exhibiting unique catalytic, electrocatalytic and photophysical properties. This paper addresses the advances in the characterization and the implementation of the metalloporphyrin/G-quadruplexes complexes for various applications. Out of the different complexes, the most extensively studied complexes are the hemin/G-quadruplex horseradish peroxidase-mimicking DNAzyme and the Zn(II) -protoporphyrin IX-functionalized G-quadruplex. Specifically, the hemin/G-quadruplex was found to act as a catalyst for driving different chemical transformations that mimic the native horseradish peroxidase enzyme, and, also, to function as an electrocatalyst for the reduction of H 2 O 2. Also, the hemin/G-quadruplex stimulates interesting photophysical and photocatalytic processes such as the electron-transfer quenching of semiconductor quantum dots or the chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer to semiconductor quantum dots. Alternatively, Zn(II) -protoporphyrin IX associated with G-quadruplexes exhibit intensified fluorescence properties. Beyond the straight forward application of the metalloporphyrin/G-quadruplexes as catalysts that stimulate different chemical transformations, the specific catalytic, electrocatalytic and photocatalytic functions of hemin/G-quadruplexes are heavily implemented to develop sophisticated colorimetric, electrochemical, and optical sensing platforms. Also, the unique fluorescence properties of Zn(II) -protoporphyrin IX-functionalized G-quadruplexes are applied to develop fluorescence sensing platforms. The article exemplifies different sensing assays for analyzing DNA, ligand-aptamer complexes and telomerase activity using the metalloporphyrins/G-quadruplexes as transducing labels. Also, the use of the hemin/G-quadruplex as a probe to follow the operations of DNA machines is discussed.

Abstract
DNA molecules are known as the genetic information carriers. Recently, they are being explored as a new generation of biocatalysts or chiral scaffolds for metal catalysts. There is also a growing interest of finding alternative solvents for DNA preservation and stabilization, including two unique types of solvents: ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DES). Therefore, it is important to understand how DNA molecules interact with these novel ionic solvent systems (i.e. ILs and DES). It is well known that inorganic di- and monovalent ions preferentially bind with major and minor grooves of DNA structures. However, in the case of ILs and DES, organic cation may intrude into the DNA minor grooves; more importantly, electrostatic attraction between organic cations and the DNA phosphate backbone becomes a predominant interaction, accompanying by hydrophobic and polar interactions between ILs and DNA major and minor grooves. In addition, anions may form hydrogen-bonds with cytosine, adenine and guanine bases. Despites these strong interactions, DNA molecules maintain double helical structure in most ionic solvent systems, especially in aqueous IL solutions. Furthermore, the exciting advances of G-quadruplexe DNA structures in ILs and DES are discussed.
