In this work, the formation of DNA supramolecular hydrogels was controlled by tuning rigidity of building blocks. The strand displacement reaction was used to in situ tuning the rigidity of the molecular network of the DNA supramolecular hydrogel. Our experiments revealed that the rigidity plays an important role in the formation and mechanical properties of hydrogels.
