چکیده

DNA nanodevices capable of "NOR" and "NAND" logic operations were developed using enzymatic reactions to generate an acidic pH gradient and drive the conformation change of cytosine-rich DNA. Due to the high selectivity and sensitivity of the enzymatic reactions in driving DNA logic gates, novel fluorescent biosensors were further designed for enzyme activity assay and glucose sensing.

I-motif-programmed functionalization of DNA nanocircles.

The folding of various intra- and intermolecular i-motif DNAs is systematically studied to expand the toolbox for the control of mechanical operations in DNA nanoarchitectures. We analyzed i-motif DNAs with two C-tracts under acidic conditions by gel electrophoresis, circular dichroism, and thermal denaturation and show that their intra- versus intermolecular folding primarily depends on the le...

Construction of a fuzzy and Boolean logic gates based on DNA.

Logic gates are devices that can perform logical operations by transforming a set of inputs into a predictable single detectable output. The hybridization properties, structure, and function of nucleic acids can be used to make DNA-based logic gates. These devices are important modules in molecular computing and biosensing. The ideal logic gate system should provide a wide selection of logical ...

Crystal violet as a fluorescent switch-on probe for i-motif: label-free DNA-based logic gate.

The first application of crystal violet as a selective fluorescent switch-on probe for i-motif DNA has been reported. This interaction has been exploited to develop a label-free DNA-based "OR" logic gate for potassium and hydrogen ions.

Specific and sensitive fluorescence anisotropy sensing of guanine-quadruplex structures via a photoinduced electron transfer mechanism.

Fluorescence anisotropy (FA) is a homogeneous, ratiometric, and real-time analytical technology. By selective labeling of a guanine (G)-quadruplex motif with tetramethylrhodamine (TMR), here, it is established that a large reduction in FA response can be specifically associated with the unfolding → folding transition of G-quadruplex structures. On the basis of fluorescence intensity, polarizati...
