Strikingly, Sr2+ ions cause isoTBA to fold into a stable parallel unimolecular G-quadruplex, in contrast to the antiparallel unimolecular G-quadruplex fold observed in the presence of K+. IsoTBA being advantageously more stable than TBA to nuclease degradation, may thus be useful in the selective detection of Sr2+ ions, which it can sense with a detection limit of similar to 55 mu M.&lt;/p&gt;
