We present a conceptually new reversible nanosensor regulated by a DNA nanoswitch. This system is not only responsive to external stimuli (e.g. ATP) but also can be reversibly switched between 'OFF' and 'ON' states via toehold mediated strand displacement reactions.

The hydrophobic fragment of the Alzheimer's related β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide, Aβ(25-40), aggregates and forms insoluble amyloid fibrils at a rate similar to the full-length peptide. In order to gain insight into the fibrillization of Aβ(25-40) and the ability of the
