A parallel biocomputer powered by molecular motors

This video explains the principle how molecular motors can solve the subset sum problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem) by exploring a network of channels.
We have recently demonstrated in a publication in PNAS (http://www.pnas.org/content/113/10/2591.abstract), that this approach works not only in theory but also in practice.
