Fabrication of thermoresponsive dynamic DNA–pNIPAM nanostructures. (A) Schematic illustration of the dual-responsive DNA triblock copolymer dynamic nanostructures. The dual-responses were reflected in the temperature change and DNA’s molecular recognition properties.¹⁹² Adapted with permission from ref (192). Copyright 2016 American Chemical Society.
