NMR Refinement
Method	Details	Software
Relaxaxtion matrix refinement	After simulated annealing-restrained molecular dynamics 16 structures for the quadruplex were selected on the basis of proper covalent geometries, symmetries and low energies for relaxation matrix refinement using IRMA (Iterative Relxation Matrix Analysis) protocol in DISCOVER. The input data included NOEs from 80, 120, 200 and 300 ms NOESY spectra. Three to four sets of calculations were performed by choosing different reference peaks for intensity normalizations. The isotropic correlation time was optimized for best NOE fits, which yielded a value of 5.0 ns.Finally 10 convergent quadruplex structures were selected on the basis of R1-factor and symmetry	VNMR
