We report here the details of G4-FlD (G-quadruplex fluorescent intercalator displacement), a simple method aiming at evaluating quadruplex-DNA binding affinity and quadruplex-over duplex-DNA selectivity of putative ligands. This assay is based on the loss of fluorescence upon displacement of thiazole orange from quadruplex- and duplex-DNA matrices. The original protocol was tested using various quadruplex- and duplex-DNA targets, and with a wide panel of G-quadruplex ligands belonging to different families (i.e. from quinacridines to metallo-organic ligands) likely to display various binding modes. The reliability of the assay is further supported by comparisons with FRET-melting and ESI-MS assays. (C) 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
