Strategies for functionalizing diverse tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) have been
extensively explored since the first successful fabrication of tFNA by Turberfield. One‐pot …

The physicochemical nature of DNA allows the assembly of highly predictable structures via
several fabrication strategies, which have been applied to make breakthroughs in various …

DNAzymes are widely used as functional units for creating DNA‐based sensors and
devices. Switching of DNAzyme activity by external stimuli is of increasing interest. Herein …

The dynamics of excited electronic states in self-assembled structures formed between silver
(I) ions and cytosine-containing DNA strands or monomeric cytosine derivatives were …

Sequence-encoded biomolecules such as DNA and peptides are powerful programmable
building blocks for nanomaterials. This paradigm is enabled by decades of prior research …

DNA/RNA duplexes containing metal‐ion‐mediated base pairs (metallo‐base pairs) have
potential applications in developing nucleic acid‐based nanodevices and genetic code …

DNA devices that can recognize molecular inputs and transform them into functional outputs
in an autonomous manner have been actively pursued as versatile toolkits for controlled …

Dynamic control of DNA assembly by external stimuli has received increasing attention in
recent years. Dynamic ligand exchange in metal complexes can be a central element in the …

A 5-carboxyuracil (caU) nucleobase was found to pair not only with A (caU–A) by hydrogen
bonding but also with other DNA nucleobases by metal coordination bonding. Metal …

Metal-mediated nucleobase pairing can play a central role in the expression of metal-
responsive DNA functions. We report the CuII-mediated stabilisation of DNA duplexes …
