Coherent activation of DNA tweezers: a "SET-RESET" logic system.
Open sesame: Aptamer-substrate complexes activate the coherent operation of two tweezers that act as a "SET-RESET" logic system. Each tweezer cycles between a fluorescent open state and a closed quenched state (Q = quencher, F = fluorophore) when triggered by adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and adenosine deaminase (AD).
