Conceptual design of a DNA catch bondTo create a catch bond, our strategy is to design a DNA construct with two dissociation pathways of distinct mechanical strengths. By biasing towards the weak pathway at low force and the strong pathway at high force, we can effectively create the catch behaviour. To do so, we designed a force-switchable structure with two rupturable domains, nicknamed the hook and the jaw (Fig. 1a). When force is initially applied at the two points, both the hook and jaw are in the unzipping geometry and compete to unbind. If the hook opens first, the closed jaw…
