Abstract :
L.M. Adleman (1994) published the description of a lab experiment, where he computed an instance of the Hamiltonian path problem with DNA in test tubes. He initiated a flood of further research on computing with molecular means in theoretical computer science. A great number of models was introduced and examined, concerning their computational power (universality as well as time and space complexity), their efficiency and their error resistance. The main results are presented in this survey
