G-quadruplex as a new class of structural entities for directing the formation of circular oligodeoxyribonucleotides.

It has been demonstrated for the first time that G-quadruplex is capable of acting as a template for directing the sequence-specific formation of certain circular oligodeoxyribonucleotides with high efficiency.
