Detailed conformations of cytosines in the tetrameric G-quadruplex formed by d(G4C2)2-Ba (C2221). The conformation of propeller loop, C5 and C6, in the dimeric G-quadruplex of (A) Form-1/7 formed by chains A/B, (B) Form-1/1 formed by chains C/D and (C) Form-1/1 formed by chains E/F. The conformation of the C11 and C12 bases of (D) chain A (green) and chain F (yellow), (E) chain B (yellow) and chain D (green) and (F) chain C (yellow) and chain E (green) located at the 3′- end observed in the unit cell. The hydrogen bonds are represented by read dash and solid black lines.
