A G(4)-quartet based hydrogel formed by self-assembly of borate esters of 5'-deoxy-5'-iodoguanosine (5'-IG 2) undergoes in situ cyclization to give 5'-deoxy-N3,5'-cycloguanosine (5'-cG 3). Formation of 5'-cG 3 causes self-destruction of the gel. This intramolecular cyclization can be used to release nucleoside analogs that have been pre-incorporated into the gel network.
