title: A binding-induced sutured toehold activation for controllable DNA strand displacement reactions.
abstract: A novel toehold activation strategy was developed based on hairpin-reconfiguration which was initiated by the interaction between the hairpin and different environmental stimuli (Hg(2+) or ATP). Through variation of the concentration of environmental stimuli, it allowed the fine control of the DNA strand displacement rates almost 2 orders of magnitude.
