Abstract
The response sensitivity of a molecular sensor is determined by the folding cooperativity of its responsive module. Using an H+-responsive dimeric DNA i-motif as a model, we demonstrate the enhancement of its folding cooperativity through preorganization by a DNA framework, and with it we fabricate robust intracellular pH sensors with high response sensitivity.
