| Abstract: | The light‐induced reversible and cyclic reconfiguration of constitutional dynamic networks, consisting of supramolecular nucleic acid structures as constituents and a photoisomerizable trans/cis‐azobenzene‐functionalized nucleic acid as the trigger is demonstrated. In addition, the cyclic photochemical reconfiguration of the constitutional dynamic networks guides the switchable on/off operation of an emerging hemin/G‐quadruplex DNAzyme. |
