In vitro evidence of the formation of a G4 structure in the PQS present in pre-miR-150. (a) CD spectroscopy of the folded RNA oligonucleotide containing the pre-miR-150 PQS in different K+ and Li+ concentrations. (b) TDS spectrum of the RNA oligonucleotide containing the pre-miR-150 PQS (70 °C spectrum–20 °C spectrum) folded in the presence of 1 mM K+. (c) ThT fluorescence assay with the RNA oligonucleotide containing the pre-miR-150 PQS folded in the presence of 1 mM K+. Two-tailed t-Student, *** indicates p < 0.0001. (d) Imino proton region of the 1D 1H NMR spectrum of the RNA oligonucleotide containing the pre-miR-150 PQS folded in the presence of 1 mM K+.
