DNA minicircles with light-activated ‘caged’ interaction modules—based either on sticky ends or G-quadruplex interactions—do not form dimers until they are irradiated with near-UV light (not harmful for DNA). This technology offers a level of spatiotemporal (hybridization) control for functional nanoarchitectures.
