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.
