Dynamic DNA nanotechnology plays a significant role in nanomedicine and information science due to its high programmability based on Watson-Crick base pairing and nanoscale dimensions.Intelligent DNA machines and networks have been widely used in various fields,including molecular imaging,biosen-sors,drug delivery,information processing,and logic operations.Encoders serve as crucial components for information compilation and transfer,allowing the conversion of information from diverse application scenarios into a format recognized and applied by DNA circuits.However,there are only a few encoder designs with DNA outputs.Moreover,the molecular priority encoder is hardly designed.In this study,we introduce allosteric DNAzyme-based encoders for information transfer.The design of the allosteric do-main and the recognition arm allows the input and output to be independent of each other and freely programmable.The pre-packaged mode design achieves uniformity of baseline dynamics and dynamics controllability.We also integrated non-nucleic acid molecules into the encoder through the aptamer de-sign of the allosteric domain.Furthermore,we developed the 2n-n encoder and the Endo Ⅳ-assisted pri-ority encoder inspired by immunoglobulin's molecular structure and effector patterns.To our knowledge,the proposed encoder is the first enzyme-free DNA encoder with DNA output,and the priority encoder is the first molecular priority encoder in the DNA reaction network.Our encoders avoid complex operations on a single molecule,and their simple structure facilitates their application in complex DNA circuits and biological scenarios.
