Implicit-OR tiling of deoxyribozymes: Construction of molecular scale OR, NAND and four-input logic gates

We recently reported the first complete set of molecular-scale logic gates based on deoxyribozymes. Here we report how we tile these logic gates and construct new logic elements: OR, NAND, and the first element with four inputs (i1^i5)V(i2^i6). Tiling of logic gates was achieved through a common sub...

Description
Summary:We recently reported the first complete set of molecular-scale logic gates based on deoxyribozymes. Here we report how we tile these logic gates and construct new logic elements: OR, NAND, and the first element with four inputs (i1^i5)V(i2^i6). Tiling of logic gates was achieved through a common substrate used for core deoxyribozyme; degradation of this substrate defines the output. This kind of connection between logic gates is an implicit- OR tiling, because it suffices that one componenet of the network is active for the whole network to give an output of 1.
