Four-Stranded DNA Helps Proteins Fold, Preventing Disease

A new study reveals that four-stranded DNA structures, known as G-quadruplexes (G4s), act as molecular chaperones, assisting proteins in folding correctly. This discovery, overturning previous assumptions, has implications for understanding and potentially combating protein misfolding diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
