G-rich oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) have great medical and nanotechnological potential, because they can self-assemble into G-quadruplexes and higher-order nanostructures. The folding properties of d(G)10, d(TG9) and d(TG8T) ODNs were studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and voltammetry at carbon electrodes. Single-stranded ODNs, in Na+ containing solutions and for short incubation times, were detected using AFM as network films and polymeric structures and using voltammetry by the occurrence of only the guanine oxidation peak. G-quadruplexes, in Na+ containing solutions and long incubation times, or in K+ containing solutions, were detected using AFM as spherical aggregates and using voltammetry by the decrease of the guanine oxidation peak and the occurrence of the G-quartet oxidation peak. Concerning the self-assembling into higher-order nanostructures, d(G)10 was the only sequence forming G-nanowires observed using AFM, d(TG9) formed short G-based super-structures that adsorbed as rod-like shape aggregates, and d(TG8T) formed no nanostructures, due to the presence of thymine residues at both 5′ and 3′ ends.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
