A DNA machine typically refers to a molecular device made from DNA that can perform specific functions or tasks at the nanoscale level. These devices exploit the unique properties of DNA, such as its ability to form complementary base pairs and its stability, to create programmable, self-assembling structures. DNA machines can be designed to undergo conformational changes in response to various stimuli, such as changes in temperature, pH, or the presence of specific molecules.
