Kinetically controlled DNA nanostructures were generated through purely chemical reactions. In their Research Article on page 13238, F. Ricci et al. describe the transient self‐assembly of DNA‐based nanostructures achieved by reduction/oxidation of disulfide/thiol controllers. Inspired by redox signaling in cells to control cellular processes, redox cycles of DNA‐based disulfide controller strands were employed to kinetically control the reversible assembly and disassembly of DNA tubular nanostructures.
