Pentaplex of iG4 DNA strands incorporating two cesium ions. The structure shown results from unrestrained minimization of the complex by using the amber* forcefield implemented in Macromodel. Two cesium ions are incorporated into the model because a three-ion model with an ion between each layer proved unstable. The average intrastrand phosphate-phosphate distance is observed to be 6.8 Å.
