Assembly of G‐quadruplexes guided by DNA triplexes in a controlled manner is achieved for the first time. The folding of triplex sequences in acidic conditions brings two separated guanine‐rich sequences together and subsequently a G‐quadruplex structure is formed in the presence of K + . Based on this novel platform, label‐free fluorescent logic gates, such as AND, INHIBIT, and NOR, are constructed with ions as input and the fluorescence of a G‐quadruplex‐specific fluorescent probe NMM as output.
