Abstract
Provided herein are chelator constructs (e.g., nucleic acid, peptide, peptide nucleic acid, etc.) that sequester metal ions (e.g., Mg) under a first set of conditions and fail to sequester or release sequestered metal ions under a second set of conditions. In particular, nucleic acid constructs are provided that sequester metal ions (e.g., Mg) under conditions that favor secondary and tertiary structure formation and release or fail to sequester metal ions under conditions that disfavor the formation of such structures.
