title: Molecular engineering of photoresponsive three-dimensional DNA nanostructures.
abstract: This study demonstrates the use of azobenzene-incorporated DNA as a control agent to precisely monitor three-dimensional DNA nanostructures. The shape of a DNA tetrahedron can be controlled by alternate irradiations with different wavelengths of light.
