</script>The use of DNA structures in creating multimodal logic gates bears high potential for building molecular devices and computation systems. However, due to the complex designs or complicated working principles, the implementation of DNA logic gates within molecular devices and circuits is still quite limited. Here, we designed simple four-way DNA logic gates that can serve as multimodal platforms for simple to complex operations. Using the proximity quenching of the fluorophore–quencher pair in combination with the toehold-mediated strand displacement (TMSD) strategy, we have successfully demonstrated that the fluorescence output, which is a result of gate opening, solely relies on the oligonucleotide(s) input. We further demonstrated that this strategy can be used to create multimodal (tunable displacement initiation sites on the four-way platform) logic gates including YES, AND, OR, and the combinations thereof. The four-way DNA logic gates developed here bear high promise for building biological computers and next-generation smart molecular circuits with biosensing capabilities.
