A Switchable F1-strand triggered reconfiguration of single microcompartmentalized CDMDs invaded domains consisting of the S1-L1 (blue-red) duplex invading strands, state M, into the red and blue bi-compartmentalized patterned CDMDs composed of blue F1-S1 and Red-L1, state N, and the light-stimulated recovery of state N to state M by photocleavage of the light-responsive F1 strand in state N. B Confocal fluorescence microscopy images of the microcompartmentalized CDMDs upon cyclic treatment of the S1-L1 modified condensates with F1 and UV light (λ = 365 nm) (Indistinguishable images were obtained in n = 4 independent experiments). C Switchable red-fluorescence intensities of the inner patterned domain upon reversible treatment with F1 or light triggers. Data are presented as mean values ± SD, error bars are derived from n = 4 experiments.
