چکیده
The field of biomolecular computation started 3.5 billion years ago on earth when the first life forms evolved. What distinguished these simple organisms from a collection of inanimate molecules was the ability to process information, and it is this ability of chemistry-based computation that powers life in its various forms even today. Our attempts at exploiting this rich molecular tool set for computation have just begun. This chapter recounts some of the amazing experiments, starting from 1994, which demonstrated how one could process information and perform computation at the molecular scale using DNA.

Biomolecular computer: roots and promises.
There are two basic issues inherent in contemporary molecular and biomolecular computing and urgent for its future development. They are: (i) fundamentals, that is general principles, starting points and correlation's between different approaches to design biomolecular information processing devices, (ii) working criteria, that is goals and principles for the choice of the device designing char...
متن کاملLarge Scale Biomolecular Simulations: Current Status and Future Prospects
Large-scale biomolecular simulations form an increasingly important component of a number of areas of biological investigation, including bionanoscience, structural bioinformatics and systems biology. Future trends in biomolecular simulations will emphasise greater depth (more detailed physico-chemical models), greater breadth (comparative simulations across families of biomolecules), and great...
متن کاملBiomolecular Computing Devices in Synthetic Biology
Synthetic biology and biomolecular computation are disciplines that fuse when it comes to designing and building information processing devices. In this chapter, we study several devices that are representative of this fusion. These are three gene circuits implementing logic gates, a DNA nanodevice and a biomolecular automaton. The operation of these devices is based on gene expression regulati...

متن کاملAlgorithms for Computing Limit distributions of Oscillating Systems with Finite Capacity
We address the batch arrival systems with finite capacity under partial batch acceptance strategy where service times or rates oscillate between two forms according to the evolution of the number of customers in the system. Applying the theory of Markov regenerative processes and resorting to Markov chain embedding, we present a new algorithm for computing limit distributions of the number cus...
