Abstract
We report DNA-scaffolded synergistic catalysis, a concept that combines the diverse reaction scope of synergistic catalysis with the ability of DNA to precisely preorganize abiotic groups and undergo stimuli-triggered conformational changes. As an initial demonstration of this concept, we focus on Cu-TEMPO-catalyzed aerobic alcohol oxidation, using DNA as a scaffold to hold a copper cocatalyst and an organic radical cocatalyst (TEMPO) in proximity. The DNA-scaffolded catalyst maintained a high turnover number upon dilution and exhibited 190-fold improvement in catalyst turnover number relative to the unscaffolded cocatalysts. By incorporating the cocatalysts into a DNA hairpin-containing scaffold, we demonstrate that the rate of the synergistic catalytic reaction can be controlled through a reversible DNA conformational change that alters the distance between the cocatalysts. This work demonstrates the compatibility of synergistic catalytic reactions with DNA scaffolding, opening future avenues in reaction discovery, sensing, responsive materials, and chemical biology.

Abstract
Fluorogenic hybridization probes allow the detection of RNA and DNA sequences in homogeneous solution. Typically, one target molecule activates the fluorescence of a single probe molecule. This limits the sensitivity of nucleic acid detection. Herein, we report a self‐immolative molecular beacon (iMB) that escapes the one‐target/one‐probe paradigm. The iMB probe includes a photoreductively cleavable N‐alkyl‐picolinium (NAP) linkage within the loop region. A fluorophore at the 5’‐end serves, on the one hand, as a reporter group and, on the other hand, as a photosensitizer of a NAP‐linker cleavage reaction. In the absence of target, the iMB adopts a hairpin shape. Quencher groups prevent photo‐induced cleavage. The iMB opens upon hybridization with a target, and both fluorescent emission as well as photo‐reductive cleavage of the NAP linker can occur. In contrast to previous chemical amplification reactions, iMBs are unimolecular probes that undergo cleavage leading to products that have lower target affinity than the probes before reaction. Aided by catalysis, the method allowed the detection of 5 pm RNA target within 100 min.

Abstract
Herein we report the discovery of a AuI -DNA hybrid catalyst that is compatible with biological media and whose reactivity can be regulated by small complementary nucleic acid sequences. The development of this catalytic system was enabled by the discovery of a novel AuI -mediated base pair. We found that AuI binds DNA containing C-T mismatches. In the AuI -DNA catalyst's latent state, the AuI ion is sequestered by the mismatch such that it is coordinatively saturated, rendering it catalytically inactive. Upon addition of an RNA or DNA strand that is complementary to the latent catalyst's oligonucleotide backbone, catalytic activity is induced, leading to a sevenfold increase in the formation of a fluorescent product, forged through a AuI -catalyzed hydroamination reaction. Further development of this catalytic system will expand not only the chemical space available to synthetic biological systems but also allow for temporal and spatial control of transition-metal catalysis through gene transcription.

Abstract
Here, the synthesis of a RuII photocatalyst by light-directed oligonucleotide-templated ligation reaction is described. The photocatalyst was found to have tremendous potential for signal amplification with >15000 turnovers measured in 9 hours. A templated reaction was used to turn on the activity of this ruthenium(II) photocatalyst in response to a specific DNA sequence. The photocatalysis of the ruthenium(II) complex was harnessed to uncage a new precipitating dye that is highly fluorescent and photostable in the solid state. This reaction was used to discriminate between different DNA analytes based on localization of the precipitate as well as for in cellulo miRNA detection. Finally, a bipyridine ligand functionalized with two different peptide nucleic acid (PNA) sequences was shown to enable template-mediated ligation (turn on of the ruthenium(II) photocatalysis) and recruitment of substrate for templated photocatalysis.

Abstract
In chemotherapy, it is a great challenge to recruit endogenous stimuli instead of external intervention for targeted delivery and controlled release; microRNAs are the most promising candidates due to their vital role during tumorigenesis and significant expression difference. Herein, to amplify the low abundant microRNAs in live cells, we designed a stimuli-responsive DNA Y-motif for codelivery of siRNA and Dox, in which the cargo release was achieved via enzyme-free cascade amplification with endogenous microRNA as trigger and ATP (or H(+)) as fuel through toehold-mediated strand displacement. Furthermore, to realize controlled release in tumor cells, smart nanocarriers were constructed with stimuli-responsive Y-motifs, gold nanorods, and temperature-sensitive polymers, whose surfaces could be reversibly switched between PEG and RGD states via photothermal conversion. The PEG corona kept the nanocarriers stealth during blood circulation to protect the Y-motifs against nuclease digestion and enhance passive accumulation, whereas the exposed RGD shell under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation at tumor sites facilitated the specific receptor-mediated endocytosis by tumor cells. Through modulating NIR laser, microRNA, or ATP expressions, the therapy efficacies to five different cell lines were finely controlled, presenting NIR-guided accumulation, massive release, efficient gene silence, and severe apoptosis in HeLa cells; in vivo study showed that a low dosage of nanocarriers synergistically inhibited the tumor growth by silencing gene expression and inducing cell apoptosis under mild NIR irradiation, though they only brought minimum damage to normal organs. The combination of nanomaterials, polymers, and DNA nanomachines provided a promising tool for designing smart nanodevices for disease therapy.

Abstract
This review highlights various methods that can be used for a sensitive detection of nucleic acids without using thermal cycling procedures, as is done in PCR or LCR. Topics included are nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA), strand displacement amplification (SDA), loop-mediated amplification (LAMP), Invader assay, rolling circle amplification (RCA), signal mediated amplification of RNA technology (SMART), helicase-dependent amplification (HDA), recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA), nicking endonuclease signal amplification (NESA) and nicking endonuclease assisted nanoparticle activation (NENNA), exonuclease-aided target recycling, Junction or Y-probes, split DNAZyme and deoxyribozyme amplification strategies, template-directed chemical reactions that lead to amplified signals, non-covalent DNA catalytic reactions, hybridization chain reactions (HCR) and detection via the self-assembly of DNA probes to give supramolecular structures. The majority of these isothermal amplification methods can detect DNA or RNA in complex biological matrices and have great potential for use at point-of-care.

Abstract
DNA-incorporating hydrophobic moieties can be synthesized by either solid-phase or solution-phase coupling. On a solid support the DNA is protected, and hydrophobic units are usually attached employing phosphoramidite chemistry involving a DNA synthesizer. On the other hand, solution coupling in aqueous medium results in low yields due to the solvent incompatibility of DNA and hydrophobic compounds. Hence, the development of a general coupling method for producing amphiphilic DNA conjugates with high yield in solution remains a major challenge. Here, we report an organic-phase coupling strategy for nucleic acid modification and polymerization by introducing a hydrophobic DNA-surfactant complex as a reactive scaffold. A remarkable range of amphiphile-DNA structures (DNA-pyrene, DNA-triphenylphosphine, DNA-hydrocarbon, and DNA block copolymers) and a series of new brush-type DNA side-chain homopolymers with high DNA grafting density are produced efficiently. We believe that this method is an important breakthrough in developing a generalized approach to synthesizing functional DNA molecules for self-assembly and related technological applications.

Abstract
Native chemical ligation (NCL) is a powerful method for the convergent synthesis of proteins and peptides. In its original format, NCL between a peptide containing a C-terminal thioester and another peptide offering an N-terminal cysteine has been used to enable protein synthesis of unprotected peptide fragments. However, the applications of NCL extend beyond the scope of protein synthesis. For instance, NCL can be put under the control of template molecules. In such a scenario, NCL enables the design of conditional reaction systems in which, peptide bond formation occurs only when a specific third party molecule is present. In this review, we will show how templates can be used to control the reactivity and chemoselectivity of NCL reactions. We highlight peptide and nucleic-acid-templated NCL reactions and discuss potential applications in nucleic acid diagnosis, origin-of-life studies and gene-expression-specific therapies.

Abstract
We have developed a novel aza-BODIPY probe for the sensitive colorimetric detection of the nitrite ions in the aqueous medium by a simple and direct method. This probe selectively recognizes the nitrite ions through a distinct visual color change from bright blue to intense green with a sensitivity of 20 ppb. Uniquely, this probe can be coated on a glass surface to fabricate a simple solid-state dipstick device that can be used for the visual detection of the nitrite ions in the presence of other competing anions in distilled as well as natural water resources like a sea, lake, and river. Furthermore, this probe can be used for the sensitive detection of the nitrate ions when coupled to a reduction step. Our results demonstrate that this probe not only can be used for the on-site analysis and quantification but also can replace the conventional spot test carried out for the nitrite ions in the laboratory practical experiments.

Abstract
Programmable interactions allow nucleic acid molecules to template chemical reactions by increasing the effective molarities of appended reactive groups. DNA/RNA-triggered reactions can proceed, in principle, with turnover in the template. The amplification provided by the formation of many product molecules per template is a valuable asset when the availability of the DNA or RNA target is limited. However, turnover is usually impeded by reaction products that block access to the template. Product inhibition is most severe in ligation reactions, where products after ligation have dramatically increased template affinities. We introduce a potentially generic approach to reduce product inhibition in nucleic acid-programmed ligation reactions. A DNA-triggered ligation-cyclization sequence ("cycligation") of bifunctional peptide nucleic acid (PNA) conjugates affords cyclic ligation products. Melting experiments revealed that product cyclization is accompanied by a pronounced decrease in template affinity compared to linear ligation products. The reaction system relies upon haloacetylated PNA-thioesters and isocysteinyl-PNA-cysteine conjugates, which were ligated on a DNA template according to a native chemical ligation mechanism. Dissociation of the resulting linear product-template duplex (induced by, for example, thermal cycling) enabled product cyclization through sulfur-halide substitution. Both ligation and cyclization are fast reactions (ligation: 86 % yield after 20 min, cyclization: quantitative after 5 min). Under thermocycling conditions, the DNA template was able to trigger the formation of new product molecules when fresh reactants were added. Furthermore, cycligation produced 2-3 times more product than a conventional ligation reaction with substoichiometric template loads (0.25-0.01 equiv). We believe that cyclization of products from DNA-templated reactions could ultimately afford systems that completely overcome product inhibition.

Abstract
Oligonucleotide-templated reactions are powerful tools for the detection of nucleic acid sequences. One of the major scientific challenges associated with this technique is the rational design of non-enzyme-mediated catalytic templated reactions capable of multiple turnovers that provide high levels of signal amplification. Herein, we report the development of a nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction-triggered fluorescent probe. The probe underwent a rapid templated reaction without any of the undesired background reactions. The fluorogenic reaction conducted in the presence of a template provided a 223-fold increase in fluorescence after 30 s compared with the nontemplated reaction. The probe provided an efficient level of signal amplification that ultimately enabled particularly sensitive levels of detection. Assuming a simple model for the templated reactions, it was possible to estimate the rate constants of the chemical reaction in the presence and in the absence of the template. From these kinetic analyses, it was possible to confirm that an efficient turnover cycle had been achieved, on the basis of the dramatic enhancement in the rate of the chemical reaction considered to be the rate-determining step. With maximized turnover efficiency, it was demonstrated that the probe could offer a high turnover number of 1500 times to enable sensitive levels of detection with a detection limit of 0.5 pM in the catalytic templated reactions.

Abstract
A pre-type sensitizer for a lanthanide complex on an oligonucleotide was successfully converted to a perfect final structure in a target DNA/RNA-templated reaction, without any chemical reagent or enzyme, under neutral conditions. The final form of the lanthanide-oligonucleotide provided a long-lived luminescence signal, appropriate for time-gated luminescence analysis and signal amplification. Target DNA/RNA-assisted time-gated luminescence analysis is a powerful tool for elimination of autofluorescence and detection of target RNA in living bacterial cells.

Abstract
The programmability of oligonucleotide recognition offers an attractive platform to direct the assembly of reactive partners that can engage in chemical reactions. Recently, significant progress has been made in both the breadth of chemical transformations and in the functional output of the reaction. Herein we summarize these recent progresses and illustrate their applications to translate oligonucleotide instructions into functional materials and novel architectures (conductive polymers, nanopatterns, novel oligonucleotide junctions); into fluorescent or bioactive molecule using cellular RNA; to interrogate secondary structures or oligonucelic acids; or a synthetic oligomer.

Abstract
Reactions templated by cellular nucleic acids are attractive for nucleic acid sensing or responsive systems. Herein we report the use of a photocatalyzed reductive cleavage of an immolative linker to unmask a rhodamine fluorophore, and its application to miRNA imaging. The reaction was found to proceed with a very high turnover (>4000) and provided reliable detection down to 5 pM of template by using γ-serine-modified peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes. The reaction was used for the selective detection of miR-21 in BT474 cells and miR-31 in HeLa cells following irradiation for 30 min. The probes were introduced by using reversible permeation with streptolysin-O (SLO) or a transfection technique.

Abstract
We have developed an assay for single strand DNA or RNA detection which is based on the homo-DNA templated Staudinger reduction of the profluorophore rhodamine-azide. The assay is based on a three component system, consisting of a homo-DNA/DNA hybrid probe, a set of homo-DNA reporter strands and the target DNA or RNA. We present two different formats of the assay (Omega probe and linear probe) in which the linear probe was found to perform best with catalytic turnover of the reporter strands (TON: 8) and a match/mismatch discrimination of up to 19. The advantage of this system is that the reporting (homo-DNA) and sensing (DNA) domain are decoupled from each other since the two pairing systems are bioorthogonal. This allows independent optimization of either domain which may lead to higher selectivity in in vivo imaging.
