Abstract

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).
