DNAzyme motor systems and logic gates facilitated by toehold exchange translators

Wenchan Deng et al.

Summary: This study reports a toehold-exchange translator and translator-mediated DNAzyme motor systems that enable sensitive responses to various nucleic acid targets using the same DNAzyme motor without requiring redesign. The translator efficiently converts nucleic acid targets into specific output DNA, activating the DNAzyme motor and enabling autonomous movement. By adjusting the target-binding region of the translator, the same DNAzyme motor system can respond to multiple nucleic acid targets. The study also demonstrates the construction and operation of four logic gates using the translator and DNAzyme motor, enhancing the biosensing applications of DNA motors.
