The binding of small molecules to the double stranded DNA may significantly alter its stability and functionality, which is the basis for many therapeutic and sensing applications. Here, the authors report that DNA binders can be used to program reaction pathways of a dynamic DNA reaction, where DNA strand displacement can be tuned quantitatively according to the affinity, charge, and concentrations of a given DNA binder.
