Why human telomere DNA fragments fold into different G-quadruplex structures with parallel, hybrid, and antiparallel strand orientations depending on the temperature and concentration of co-solutes remains poorly understood. Similarly, the formation of intermediate structures along the folding or interconversion pathways is not well understood. Herein, we address these questions by introducing a conceptual framework, based on the global thermodynamic analysis of DSC and CD spectroscopy data, which led to a detailed description of the topological phase space (phase diagram) of the stability of the human telomere fragment 5′-AGGG(TTAGGG)3-3′ (Tel22). This framework clarifies the driving forces of quadruplex folding and interconversion processes over a wide range of temperatures and ion (K+, Na+) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentrations and demonstrates their linkage to the human telomere DNA structural features.
