Based on click chemistry and DNAzyme, we constructed for the first time a cupric ion triggered DNA diode using a tandem linkage-cleavage process, which could occur in order in a programmable and autonomous manner. This DNA diode is a new DNA functional element and can precisely control the translation direction of information.
