Programming the self-assembly of amphiphilic DNA frameworks for sequential boolean logic functions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Aug 4;58(63):8786-8789. doi: 10.1039/d2cc03150g.

Abstract

Herein we examined the utilization of the orthogonal noncovalent interaction to program the self-assembly of amphiphilic DNA frameworks (am-FNAs). By finely controlling reaction parameters such as ionic strength, the length of amphiphilic DNA, and mechanical agitation, we constructed a series of amphiphilic DNA-based primary logic gates (NOT, AND, OR and INH) and a secondary logic gate (NOT-OR).
