Telomere Structure and Stability: Covalency in Hydrogen Bonds, Not Resonance Assistance, Causes Cooperativity in Guanine Quartets

We show that the cooperative reinforcement between hydrogen bonds in guanine quartets is not caused by resonance‐assisted hydrogen bonding (RAHB). This follows from extensive computational analyses of guanine quartets (G4) and xanthine quartets (X4) based on dispersion‐corrected density functional t...
