A Light‐Driven DNA Nanomachine for the Efficient Photoswitching of RNA Digestion

Abstract

Photons as fuel: A photoresponsive DNA enzyme was constructed that can work at the single-molecule level. Complete ON–OFF photoswitching of RNA digestion was realized by photoregulating the topological structure of a DNAzyme/RNA complex. The key components of the photoswitch are azobenzene units.
