Biochemical computing is an emerging field of unconventional computing that attempts to process information with biomolecules and biological objects using Boolean logic. In this work electrode-immobilized glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme catalyzed a reaction which carries out the Boolean AND logic gate. We report the first experimental realization of a sigmoid shape response in one of the gate inputswhich is a desirable shape for biocomputing application as it allows reduction of the analog noise . A kinetic model is also developed and used to evaluate the extent to which the experimentally realized gate is close to optimal.
Biochemical computing is an emerging field of unconventional computing that attempts to process information with biomolecules and biological objects using digital logic. In this work we survey filtering in general, in biochemical computing, and summarize the experimental realization of an AND logic gate with sigmoid response in one of the inputs. The logic gate is realized with electrode-immobilized glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme that catalyzes a reaction corresponding to the Boolean AND functions . A kinetic model is also developed and used to evaluate the extent to which the performance of the experimentally realized logic gate is close to optimal.
