“…This is due to not only the unique biocompatibility of DNA as an endogenous substance in life but also some specific advantages compared with other materials, such as precise base pairing principle, sequence programmability, structure diversity and controllability, mature synthesis technology, and easy modification . In recent years, with the rapid development of DNA nanotechnology, various molecular machines based on DNA structure regulation have been successfully constructed, such as DNA tweezers (DNA tweezer), , DNA gear (DNA gear), , DNA crane, , DNA walker, , DNA motor, − DNA robot, , and so on. In various DNA molecular machines, based on the Watson–Crick base complementary pairing and the principle of minimum free energy, − through appropriate sequence design and conditional control (such as strand replacement, environmental stimuli), DNA units realize the controllable transformation between different conformations as the role of hydrogen bonds, the interactions of noncovalent bonds, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, van der Waals forces, and so on.…”
