Abstract Hybridization chain reaction (HCR) was a significant discovery for the development of nanoscale materials and devices. One key challenge for HCR is the vulnerability to background leakage in the absence of the initiator. Here, we systematically analyze the sources of leakage and refine leak-resistant rule by using molecular thermodynamics and dynamics, biochemical and biophysical methods. Transient melting of DNA hairpin is revealed to be the underlying cause of leakage and that this can be mitigated through careful consideration of the sequence thermodynamics. The transition threshold of the energy barrier is proposed as a testing benchmark of leak-resistance DNA hairpins. The universal design of DNA hairpins is illustrated by the analysis of hsa-miR-21-5p as biomarker when used in conjunction with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. We further extend the strategy for specific signal amplification of miRNA homologs. Significantly, it possibly provides a practical route to improve the accuracy of DNA self-assembly for signal amplification, and that could facilitate the development of sensors for the sensitive detection of interest molecules in biotechnology and clinical medicine.

Upon adding THBV, the self-assembly of THBV with H1 allows the rest of the DNA sequence of H1 to accelerate H1–H2 complex formation. The G-quadruplex at the end of the H1–H2 complex could catalyze TMB into a colored product.
