The CD values were recorded at 294 nm, melting temperatures are in ˚C . The attachment of additional oligonucleotide sequences to the G-quadruplex destabilizes its structure. On the other hand, the greater the number of complementary pairs formed by these sequences, the higher the stability of the G-quadruplex domain in a given aptamer. This domain is the least stable in aptamer RE25, where five pairs of nucleotides are attached to it. Three of them can form a duplex, but its stability is low.
