A strategy has been developed for switching chemical reactions between two identical reagents on the basis of DNA duplex-triplex transition. In response to the change of solution pH, a DNA complex changes its conformation and repositions chemical reagents that are conjugated with DNA strands. As a result, chemical reactions are reprogrammed. This strategy is expected to be applicable to sophisticated chemical syntheses.
基于DNA双链-三链转变,已开发出一种在两种相同试剂之间切换化学反应的策略。响应溶液pH的变化,DNA复合物改变其构象并重新定位与DNA链共轭的化学试剂。结果,化学反应被重新编程。该策略有望应用于复杂的化学合成。
