Fig.11. Structure of RET G4-DNA in complex with colchicine (in orange). (a) The ensemble of 20 structures with the lowest energy. Base G14 is flexible; (b) One conformer of the complex. An angle 27.5° was formed between aromatic seven-membered ring and phenyl ring; (c) The structure of free RET G4-DNA; (d) The position of colchicine (in orange) relative to G14 (in green) above G3-G9-G13-G19 tetrad (in cyan) at 3'-end in the complex structure, compared to structure of free RET G4-DNA (in line mode, except the base G14 which was termed as G14 free and displayed in blue stick). In (a)~(c), the G-tetrad composed by four syn guanines was in magenta line and cartoon modes, respectively. The G-tetrads composed by anti- guanines were shown in cyan lines and cartoon modes, respectively. In all figures, base G14 was in deep-gray lines and cartoon modes. Bases G16 and T20 were in green lines and cartoon modes, respectively. Bases G4, C5, G6 and C10 in loops were in wheat lines or cartoon modes. All nonpolar protons were not displayed[61]
