Abstract
A novel multifunctional, proton-fueled DNA nano-spring has been constructed. By incorporation of the G-quadruplex/ i-motif sequence into the assembly, the nanodevice can perform spring-like motions in response to changes in the environmental pH without permanent deformation. Nanosized objects/ functional groups could be assembled/ disassembled into this system in an addressable, contractile, and reversible manner. (Figure Presented) © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
