DNA Logic Gates for Small Molecule Activation Circuits in Cells.

ABSTRACT: DNA-based devices such as DNA logic gates self-assemble into supramolecular structures, as dictated by the sequences of the constituent oligonucleotides and their predictable Watson-Crick base pairing interactions. The programmable nature of DNA-based devices permits the design and implementation of DNA circuits that interact in a dynamic and sequential manner capable of spatially arranging disparate DNA species. Here, we report the application of an activatable fluorescence reporter based on a proximity-driven inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction and its robust integration with DNA strand displacement circuits. In response to specific DNA input patterns, sequential strand displacement reactions are initiated and culminate in the hybridization of two modified DNA strands ca
