DNA Computing
(Deoxyribonucleic Acid Computing):
DNA computing is a nascent technology that seeks to capitalize on the enormous informational capacity of DNA, biological molecules that can store huge amounts of information and are able to perform operations similar to a computer 's through the deployment of enzymes, biological catalysts that act like software to execute desired operations.
Scientists around the globe are now trying to marry computer technology and biology by using nature 's own design to process information. Research in this area began with an experiment by Leonard Adleman, a computer scientist at USC who surprised the scientific community in 1994 by using the tools of molecular biology to solve a hard computational problem.
A new version of a biomolecular computer developed at the Israel Institute of Technology composed entirely of DNA molecules and enzymes. It can perform as many as a billion different programs simultaneously. Previous biomolecular computers, such as the one built by Institute of Science three years ago, were limited to just 765 simultaneous programs.
This new computer is also autonomous; it processes calculations from beginning to end without any human assistance.
