Abstract

Inspired by cytoskeletal structures that respond sensitively to environmental changes and chemical inputs, we report a strategy to trigger and finely control the assembly of stimulus-responsive DNA nanostructures with light under isothermal conditions. The strategy is achieved via integrating an upstream light-controlled, toehold-mediated DNA strand displacement circuit with a downstream DNA tile self-assembly process. By rationally designing an upstream DNA strand module, we further transform the upstream DNA strand displacement circuit to an "AND gate" circuit to control the assembly of DNA nanostructures. This example represents the demonstration of the spatial and temporal assembly of DNA nanostructures using a noninvasive chemical input. Such a light-controlled DNA logic circuit not only adds a new element to the tool box of DNA nanotechnology but also inspires us to assemble complex and responsive nanostructures.
