G-quadruplex (G4) DNA structures are noncanonical secondary structures found in key regulatory regions of the genome, including oncogenic promoters and telomeres. Small molecules, known as G4 ligands, capable of stabilizing G4s hold promise as chemical probes and therapeutic agents. Nevertheless, achieving precise specificity for individual G4 structures within the human genome remains a significant challenge. To address this, we expand upon G4-ligand-conjugated oligonucleotides (GL-Os), a modular platform combining the stabilizing properties of G4-ligands with the sequence specificity of guide DNA oligonucleotides. Central to this strategy is the linker that bridges the G4 ligand and the guide oligonucleotide. In this study, we develop multiple conjugation strategies for the GL-Os that enabled a systematic investigation of the linker in both chemical composition and length, enabling a thorough assessment of their impact on targeting oncogenic G4 DNA. Biophysical, biochemical, and computational evaluations revealed GL-Os with optimized linkers that exhibited enhanced binding to target G4s, even under thermal or structural stress. Notably, longer linkers broadened the range of targetable sequences without introducing steric hindrance, thereby enhancing the platform's applicability across diverse genomic contexts. These findings establish GL-Os as a robust and versatile tool for the selective targeting of individual G4s. By facilitating precise investigations of G4 biology, this work provides a foundation for advancing G4-targeted therapeutic strategies and exploring their role in disease contexts.
