Coherent Activation of DNA Tweezers: A “SET–RESET” Logic System

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Open sesame: Aptamer-substrate complexes activate the coherent operation of two tweezers that act as a "SET-RESET" logic system. Each tweezer cycles between a fluorescent open state and a closed quenched state (Q = quencher, F = fluorophore) when triggered by adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and adenosine deaminase (AD).
