Guanine tetrad
text:
In molecular biology, a guanine tetrad is a structure composed of four guanine bases in a square planar array. They most prominently contribute to the structure of G-quadruplexes, where their hydrogen bonding stabilizes the structure. Usually, there are at least two guanine tetrads in a G-quadruplex, and they often feature Hoogsteen-style hydrogen bonding. Guanine tetrads are formed by sequences rich in guanine, such as GGGGC. They may also play a role in the dimerization of non-endogenous RNAs
