The toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (SDR) is a powerful enzyme-free tool for molecular manipulation, DNA computing, signal amplification, etc. However, precise modulation of SDR kinetics without changing the original design remains a significant challenge. We introduce a new means of modulating SDR kinetics using an external stimulus: a water-soluble Fe<sup>II</sup><sub>4</sub>L<sub>4</sub> tetrahedral cage. Our results show that the presence of a flexible phosphate group and a min ...[more]
