9780262194877: Molecular Computing

Synopsis

The next great change in computer science and information technology will come frommimicking the techniques by which biological organisms process information. To do this computerscientists must draw on expertise in subjects not usually associated with their field, includingorganic chemistry, molecular biology, bioengineering, and smart materials. This book provides anintroduction to the interdisciplinary field of molecular computing.The book moves from abstractprinciples of molecular computing to the building of actual systems. The topics include the use ofproteins and other molecules for information-processing, molecular recognition, computation innonlinear media, computers based on physical reaction-diffusion systems found in chemical media, DNAcomputing, bioelectronics and protein-based optical computing, and biosensors.
