Allosteric control of deoxyribozymes is useful for a broad range of practical applications, such as nucleic acid sensing and DNA-computing. We found that the catalytic activity of a DNA-hydrolyzing deoxyribozyme could be allosterically regulated by adding short oligonucleotides. We used this technique to construct deoxyribozyme-based logic gates.
脱氧核酶的变构控制对于广泛的实际应用很有用,例如核酸传感和DNA计算。我们发现,通过添加短寡核苷酸可以变构调节一种DNA水解脱氧核酶的催化活性。我们利用这项技术构建了基于脱氧核酶的逻辑门。
