  2. Contents • DNA computing and accompanying research problem • Aldeman-Lipton Paradigm • Winfree’s Cellular Automata • DNA State Machines • From Computation to Structure Construction

  3. 4 3 DHPP (directed Hamiltonian path problem) 1 0 6 2 5 0  1  2  3  4  5  6 DNA Computing and Accompanying Research Problems (1/3) • The Adleman-Lipton Paradigm [1][2] • One of data-parallel computation using DNA molecules • Combinational search problems by generating and testing paths represented by DNA molecules

  4. DNA Computing and Accompanying Research Problems (2/3) • The Adleman-Lipton Paradigm • In the generating step • Candidates (about 1012) for a solution are randomly generated using hybridization between complementary sequences of DNA • In the testing step • Molecular biology techniques to check whether each candidate satisfies the conditions necessary for it to represent a solution (data-parallel computation)

  5. DNA Computing and Accompanying Research Problems (3/3) • Reliability of Experimental Results • Physico-chemical consideration in the design of tube algorithms • Optimize the tube protocols • Problem Size • Presently, aim only to certify the feasibility • Remain relatively small (only 7 vertices in Adleman’s) • Experimental Costs • Autonomous computation by molecular reactions

  6. [Tiling by DX units] Winfree’s Cellular Automata • A computational model [3] • Employ rectangular tiles made of DC units, each of which consists of four DNA molecules • Simulate computation of one-dimensional cellular automata by a tiling reaction of DX units in the two dimensional plane • Solve search problems such as the DHPP by having many tiling reactions proceed in parallel in a test tube (one-pot→autonomous)

  7. Protocol DNA State Machines (1/5) • Successive Localized Polymerization • Transition table of a stat machine • A state transition is performed by the polymerization of a hairpin structure formed by a single strand

  8. Input, program and state Transition table form DNA State Machines (2/5) • Computing Boolean Expressions • “Not only the input to the boolean expression but also the boolean expression itself is represented as a DNA molecule” • An input to a expression containing n variables

  9. DNA State Machines (3/5) • Computing Boolean Expressions • Boolean expression example Implementation

  10. DNA State Machines (4/5) • Computing Boolean Expressions • Restriction →each variable is allowed to occur only once • If the value of xi is true, then the next stat could be either var2 or output--. • Boolean expressions in which each variable occurs at most once are called “µ-formulas”. • If variable xi occurs twice in a boolean expression, a copy of xi, xi’ must be prepared, and the value of xi’ is also given in an input and must be identical to that of xi

  11. Translation of µ-formulas DNA State Machines (5/5) • Computing Boolean Expressions • In Winfree’s paper [4], not only boolean expressions but also binary decision diagrams can be implemented The representation of µ-formulas eby computing trans(e, output+, output--)

  12. From Computation to Structure Construction • Autonomous computation by molecular reactions • A method for constructing structures on the molecular scale • If one can construct complex structures out of DNA molecules, one can also organize other kinds of molecules guided by the structures of DNA
