A study on interconnection-free biomolecular computing

本研究探讨了利用分子电子学技术构建大规模并行计算系统的可能性。通过利用生物分子的特异性，例如酶，可以构建没有互连问题的新的集成电路体系结构。为了阐明提出的概念，我们提出了一种名为酶晶体管的人造催化剂装置的功能模型。在这项研究中，我们开发了人造催化剂装置作为分子计算集成电路的基本构件，并探索了利用人造催化剂装置集体行为诱导的反应-扩散动力学来实现新计算范式的可能性。

This study investigates a possibility of constructing massively parallel computing systems using molecular electronics technology. By employing the specificity of biological molecules, such as enzymes, new integrated circuit architectures that are free from interconnection problems could be constructed. To clarify the proposed concept, we present a functional model of an artificial catalyst device called an enzyme transistor. In this study, we develop artificial catalyst devices as basic building blocks for molecular computing integrated circuits, and explore the possibility of a new computing paradigm using reaction-diffusion dynamics induced by collective behavior of artificial catalyst devices.
