A versatile and convenient tool for regulation of DNA strand displacement and post-modification on pre-fabricated DNA nanodevices.

ABSTRACT: Toehold-mediated strand displacement and its regulatory tools are fundamental for DNA nanotechnology. However, current regulatory tools all need to change the original sequence of reactants, making the regulation inconvenient and cumbersome. More importantly, the booming development of DNA nanotechnology will soon promote the production of packaged and batched devices or circuits with specified functions. Regarding standardized, packaged DNA nanodevices, access to personalized post-modification will greatly help users, whereas none of the current regulatory tools can provide such access, which has greatly constrained DNA nanodevices from becoming more powerful and practical. Herein, we developed a novel regulation tool named Cap which has two basic functions of subtle regulation of the rea
