Fuel for a DNA machine : A FokI enzyme/DNA scission machine is triggered by the hybridization of its DNA hairpin structure with a target nucleic acid. The machine is fueled by a secondary fluorophore (F)‐ and quencher (Q)‐functionalized nucleic acid 2 . Scission of 3 leads to replication of the machinery cutter 1 and yields a fluorescent product 6 , which provides an optical output for the machine (see scheme).
