DNA oligonucleotides can form multistranded helices through either the folding of a single
strand or the association of two, three or four strands of DNA. Structures of several new DNA
triplexes, G-quartet DNA quadruplexes and I-motif DNA quadruplexes have been reported
recently. These structures provide new insights into helix stability and folding, loop
conformations and cation interactions.
