Elementary Arithmetic Operations by Enzymes: A Model for Metabolic Pathway Based Computing

摘要

The similarities in the processing of information by biological systems and human-designed devices are broadly recognized.Computer technology relies on logic functions and arithmetic operations,whereby the insertion of signals into electronic circuits allows the differentiation and processing of the output signals.In chemical or biochemical computing systems,different stimuli trigger molecular architectures or biochemical ensembles,and the resulting chemical reactivity provides computing and processing functions.
