Abstract
The mechanical motion of DNA nanomachine is driven by the chemical entropies that are released from the stimuli-induced structural variations of DNA nanostructures. Up to now, several stimuli have been proposed. In this chapter, we will discuss nucleic acid enzymes as a distinct stimulus to drive DNA nanomachines and its applications in biosensing are also mentioned as well.
