Abstract

Abstract Image

A transcription regulation system initiated by DNA nanostructure changes was designed and constructed. Using the toehold system, specific DNA strands induced the opening of the tubular structure. A transcription product from the purified tube-attached dsDNA template was observed by addition of DNA strands that were specific for opening the tubular structure.
