BRINGING DNA COMPUTERS TO LIFE

摘要

1. Natural molecular machines process information in a manner similar to the Turing machine, an early conceptual computer. 2. A Turing-like automaton built from DNA and enzymes can perform computations, receive input from other biological molecules and output a tangible result, such as a signal or a therapeutic drug. 3. This working computer made from the molecules of life demonstrates the viability of its species and may prove a valuable medical tool.
