4.1 DNA Logic Gates in the Context of Molecular Computation
Electronic microprocessor systems are based on semiconductor logic gates, which employ electronic input and output signals and power supplies [1]. A critical feature, which contributes to the undoubted success of electronic circuits, is input–output signal homogeneity: the same electron voltage value emerging as an output of one gate can be admitted as an input of another gate. Such connections of logic gates can achieve selected functions of varying complexity. This very large‐scale
