Clock oscillator of biochemical reaction computer

Abstract

The invention discloses a clock oscillator of a biochemical reaction computer based on enzymatic reaction, and the clock oscillator takes the concentration or activity of substances or enzymes as signals, and realizes self-feedback regulation and control of chemical signals through the mutual catalytic action of various enzymes and substances, so as to output periodically changing chemical signals. Compared with a traditional electronic oscillator, the clock oscillator provided by the invention has the advantages that the output signal of the clock oscillator is a chemical signal, so that the clock oscillator can be directly used in a biochemical reaction computer without conversion between an electric signal and the chemical signal. Compared with the existing clock oscillator based on DNA, the clock oscillator provided by the invention has the advantages that the enzymatic reaction has higher reaction speed than the DNA replacement reaction and the DNA transcription translation process, so that the clock oscillator provided by the invention has higher frequency and can meet higher-performance numerical operation and logic calculation based on biochemical reaction.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biochemical computers, in particular to a clock oscillator for a biochemical reaction computer based on enzymatic reactions. Background technique [0002] Imitating the principles of biological regulation in nature, building a biochemical computer with high performance and low power consumption is a subject with great potential at present. In traditional electronic computers and biochemical computers, the clock oscillator on which synchronous sequential logic depends is important. component. Currently existing clock oscillators based on DNA cascade displacement reactions and DNA transcription and translation systems, due to the slow speed of the reactions involving DNA and RNA they rely on, their clock cycles are relatively long and often take several hours. This is difficult to meet the needs of building high-performance biochemical computers, and it is necessary to find more efficient biochemical react...
