Background:

  • DNA possesses inherent physicochemical stability due to Watson-Crick base pairing.
  • Sequence complementarity differences drive DNA strand displacement reactions (SDRs).
  • SDRs are foundational to advanced applications in synthetic biology, drug delivery, and biosensing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the utility of SDRs in developing advanced biosensors.
  • To emphasize the characteristics of SDR-based biosensors, including controllability, sensitivity, and multiplexed detection capabilities.
  • To discuss the potential of SDR biosensors in biomolecular reaction manipulation and point-of-care diagnostics.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraging sequence complementarity for DNA strand displacement reactions.
