Intracellular logic gates are constructed using a series of reconfigurable DNA tetrahedral nanostructures that are responsive to ions, small molecules, and complementary DNA strands. In their Communication on page 9020 ff. , C. Fan et al. demonstrate the construction of AND, OR, XOR, and INH logic gates, as well as a complex half‐adder operation. They also apply these DNA logic gates in living cells for the intracellular detection of ATP.
