A Competitive compartmentalization of CDMDs with two photocaged fluorophore-labeled strands D1, D2 and a fluorophore-quencher-modified strand SD, yielding CDMDs in state R. The light-induced deprotection of state R dynamically reconfigure CDMDs in state R to the compartmentalized CDMDs in state S that undergoes reconfiguration into Mg2+-ion-dependent DNAzyme-modified compartmentalized CDMDs undergoing catalyzed dynamic reconfiguration into CDMDs of state T. B Temporal fluorescence confocal microscopy images following the dynamic reconfiguration of the compartmentalized CDMDs upon the light/DNAzyme guided transitions across state R (Panel X)→state S(Panel Y)→state T(Panels Z1 and Z2) (Indistinguishable images were obtained in n = 4 independent experiments).
