| Abstract | Quadruplexes are higher-order structures formed by G-rich DNA strands that are involved in various processes of cell cycle regulation, such as control of telomere length and participation in gene regulation. Because of these central biological functions, quadruplex DNA represents a promising target for cancer therapy, e.g. by applying organometallic drugs, such as cisplatin. High-resolution electrospray tandem mass spectrometry is evaluated as a technique for exploring structural features of unplatinated and platinated quadruplexes. Results of experiments on tetramolecular, bimolecular and monomolecular quadruplexes provide information about the extent of platination and the binding sites of the drug. The dissociation behavior of the different types of quadruplexes is compared. Tetramolecular quadruplexes were found to weave out a strand end in order to provide a platination site, and their fragmentation is characterized by the release of an unplatinated strand and the formation of a platinated triplex. Partial opening of the structure in combination with the loss of small fragments leads to truncated quadruplex ions. For the bimolecular quadruplexes studied, strand separation is the predominant dissociation pathway. Depending on the loop sequence, cross-linking of the loops by cisplatin is demonstrated. Distinct differences in the product ion spectra of unannealed and annealed monomolecular sequences provide proof of quadruplex formation and show that platination preferentially occurs at the terminal regions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
