Abstract

A systematic design method for an interconnection-free biomolecular computing system based on parallel distribution of logical information represented by varieties of molecules and parallel selection using specificity of enzymes is presented. A model of a biomolecular switching device is introduced as a universal building block, and the systematic synthesis of biodevice networks is discussed using a set-valued switching algebra. The main advantage is the maximum parallelism based on interconnection-free logic operations. It is possible to exploit the inherent parallelism of given algorithm through biodevice networks by converting the dataflow specification into parallel distribution and selection function
