Telomeric G4<br />
Discussion<br />
Apart from protective role, in in vitro primer extension assays to study<br />
telomere elongation, intermolecular G4 are highly stable and are excellent<br />
substrates when compared to intramolecular G4 for ciliate telomerase. From<br />
yeast to humans, telomerase could form <strong>di</strong>mers or multimers and this has<br />
been shown to regulate the catalytic activity of telomerase enzyme [216,217].<br />
It should be determined if telomerase <strong>di</strong>merization can elongate more than<br />
one telomere simultaneously.<br />
