Abstract

Synthetic biology and biomolecular computation are disciplines that fuse when it comes to designing and building information processing devices. In this chapter, we study several devices that are representative of this fusion. These are three gene circuits implementing logic gates, a DNA nanodevice and a biomolecular automaton. The operation of these devices is based on gene expression regulation, the so-called competitive hybridization and the workings of certain biomolecules like restriction enzymes or regulatory proteins. Synthetic biology, biomolecular computation, systems biology and standard molecular biology concepts are also defined to give a better understanding of the chapter. The aim is to acquaint readers with these biomolecular devices born of the marriage between synthetic biology and biomolecular computation.
