“…The stability of triplexes formed with G‐rich TFOs has been shown to be very high, particularly with (A,G)‐containing TFOs, but has also been found to be highly unpredictable. Attempts to clarify the basis of such stability have been made over the last few years, and the base composition of the target sequence was found to play an important role13, 14. Moreover, spectroscopic studies comparing thermodynamic parameters for TFOs with different base compositions [(A,G), (T,G) and (T,C)] revealed that (A,G) and (T,G) triplexes are entropy driven rather than enthalpy driven as compared to (T,C) triplexes15.…”
