The control of mtDNA replication and transcription is known to be mediated by noncanonical forms of guanine-rich nucleotides G-quadruplexes (G4s). These putative and transient guanine-based structures and their dynamics are closely associated with mtDNA deletion breakpoints pertaining to fatal diseases such as cancers, hypertension, diabetes, etc. The precise reason for the origin of G4s at deletion breakpoints in the heavy strand and during the replication process has not yet been identified, owing to its complex biochemical phenomenon. Biomolecular structure, typically having a size of 5–10 nm with an average life span of seconds, strongly demands high-end instruments to explore the precise biochemical mechanism and dynamics (folding or unfolding) in biological systems. In that sense, since the last decade, tremendous efforts have been kept in X-ray crystallography, circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), immunofluorescence, and the mtG4-ChIP methods to recognize and characterize the G4s structures in physiological conditions. Owing to their non-invasiveness, robustness, and high spatio-temporal resolution at the molecular level, fluorescence methods<span> have been exploited to recognize noncanonical forms of nucleic acids even at the subcellular level.

The level of control over nanographene syntheses has allowed a fine-tuning of the photophysical and electrochemical properties and, in turn, has a compelling potential in the field of material science. In this regard, understanding and harnessing the competition between electron transfer and energy transfer in nanographenic systems is of utmost importance.

DSSCs have seen a revival as the finest technology for specific applications with unique features such as low-cost, non-toxic, colourful, transparent, ease of fabrication, flexibility, and efficient indoor light operation. Several organic materials are being explored and employed in DSSCs to enhance their performance, robustness, and lower production costs to be viable alternatives in the solar cell markets.
