Development and application of photonic DNA processor

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This study was aimed at developing a photonic DNA processor, which is a nanoscale processor with sensing and actuating functionalities. We built a prototype equipped with a molecular sensor that can be activated/inactivated via external light signals, and demonstrated the fundamental functions. DNA scaffold logic was proposed to extend the processor's function. We constructed a method for logic operations by optical manipulation of liquid-based microreactors. A potential applicability to molecular image memory was shown.
