An enzyme named for these structures was discovered in Tetrahymena. When rich in guanine, these structures can form G-Quadruplexes, which can stabilize T-loops in these structures. These structures are thought to be a cause for cellular aging and cancer. The Hayflick limit is explained when these structures shorten after repeated DNA replication. In humans, these structures have a sequence of TTAGGG.
