Abstract :
The present paper compares a protein hydrogen bonding network (HBN) to a microelectronic circuit. The HBN properties that are applicable to the microelectronic circuit are simulated in Matlab. The hydrogen bonds are coded in Matlab as tree- and four- terminal microelectronic block elements which build up the respective electrical circuit. The simulations demonstrate that the circuit can operate in various electrical modes. Static analysis shows that the circuit can operate as DC level shifter and as power amplifier with two outputs working in different amplification modes. Dynamic analysis reveals that the circuit can operate as current amplitude limiter.
