Zusammenfassung:Putting the DNA in dendrimers: A strategy to swiftly prepare DNA dendrimers based solely on DNA self‐assembly is presented. This technique produces highly pure DNA dendrimers with an excellent yield of high generation dendrimers. The incorporation of molecular motors (i‐motifs) into the DNA dendrimers allows for a change in size (up to 30%) in response to changing pH values (see scheme).
