Abstract

Fuel for thought: A DNA nanostructure consisting of a central axis and three footholds has been developed that acts as a dynamically programmed DNA nanotransporter in the presence of appropriate nucleic acids, fuel strands, and anti-fuel strands (see picture). The device consists of three interconvertible programs, where each program includes eight distinct states.
