This paper presents a theoretical model of the NAND gate using induced hairpin formation, with only six steps needed for computation. The model allows for higher reliability and can be easily incorporated into the next generation of DNA chips for combinatorial computing networks.

The hairpin structure serves as a stop signal for transcription Termination of transcription The DNA template mRNA, and polymerase then go their separate ways
These “self-complementary” sequences allow the formation of a HAIRPIN or STEM and LOOP Structure Hairpin Structure

1 NAND : 0 Theoretical model of the NAND gate
Two subsequence x1 and x2 of length l Two partially complementary sequences of length m which contain some GG mismatches as in To separate sequence to surface Chemically modified surface Encoding requirement on the NAND gate
Input variable xi (i=1,2) • 1 is complementary strands • They are anneal with correspondent subsequence of the gate strands Step 1 to simulate the NAND gate base on hairpin
Step 2 to simulate the NAND gate base on hairpin 0 1 1 1 • Adding naphthyridine dimer to surface • This will induce the hairpin formation for some of the gate strand Naphtyridine dimer
Washing the surface with distilled water so that the naphtyridine dimer is completely removed • After this the gate strands in hairpin structure will become single stranded while the double strands remain unchanged Step 3 to simulate the NAND gate base on hairpin
Adding the output strands z and the complementary strands 5’-x2-s-z-3’ to the surface • Then ligase is added to seal the nick between the the gate strand and the output strand. • Output strand z at the end of these gate strands whose output is “1”, while those whose output is “0” remain unchanged Step 4 to simulate the NAND gate base on hairpin 5’-CCAA | TTG-3’ Endonuclease Hpa
After clearing, adding enzyme Hpa I to the surface -> to cut output z • Collecting these strands z • Purifying them and prepared for the input of the next gate • to get The gate’s output(SPR) Final step to simulate the NAND gate base on hairpin Construct Boolean circuit network with such kind of NAND gates. Because there are so many gates at each level, it is impractical to add their outputs one by one, for otherwise the circuit’s parallelism would be greatly reduced
This paper presented a theoretical model of the NAND gate through the induced hairpin formation (only six steps needed) • The time consumption will increase linearly with the level number of network, nothing to do with the total number of logical gates • NAND gate to be reusable for repeated cycles of computation • This model may be expected to perform the computation with higher reliability as the hairpin formation has high specific hybridization ability. • This model can be easily incorporated with the next generation of DNA chip to form a combinatorial computing network Conclusion
