title: A two-ring interlocked DNA catenane rotor undergoing switchable transitions across three states.
abstract: A two-ring (α/β) interlocked DNA catenane rotor system is described. Using appropriate fuel and anti-fuel strands, the triggered switchable rotation across three states S1, S2 and S3 associated with the circular track of ring α is demonstrated.
