We show how to exploit enzymatic saturation -an ubiquitous nonlinear effects in biochemistry- in order to process information in molecular networks. The networks rely on the linearity of DNA strand displacement and the nonlinearity of enzymatic replication. We propose a pattern-recognition network that is compact and should be robust to leakage.

Biochemical circuits have been transformed from simple logic circuits to large-scale complex circuits, benefitting from the maturity of DNA strand displacement technology. Pattern recognition is a process of analyzing perceptual signals and identifying and interpreting objects. In this study, pattern recognition of 2 × 2 matrices based on DNA strand displacement was designed, including dual-rail circuits and seesaw circuits. The effective results were obtained by simulation in Visual DSD software, simultaneously, the pattern recognition and DNA strand displacement technology were perfectly combined.

ABSTRACTCell-free biosensors are emerging as powerful platforms for monitoring human and environmental health. Here, we expand the capabilities of biosensors by interfacing their outputs with toehold-mediated strand displacement circuits, a dynamic DNA nanotechnology that enables molecular computation through programmable interactions between nucleic acid strands. We develop design rules for interfacing biosensors with strand displacement circuits, show that these circuits allow fine-tuning of reaction kinetics and faster response times, and demonstrate a circuit that acts like an analog-to-digital converter to create a series of binary outputs that encode the concentration range of the target molecule being detected. We believe this work establishes a pathway to create “smart” diagnostics that use molecular computations to enhance the speed, robustness and utility of biosensors.

The ability of neural networks to process information intelligently has allowed them to be successfully applied in the fields of information processing, controls, engineering, medicine, and economics. The brain-like working mode of a neural network gives it incomparable advantages in solving complex nonlinear problems compared with other methods. In this paper, we propose a feedforward DNA neural network framework based on an enzyme-free, entropy-driven DNA reaction network that uses a modular design. A multiplication gate, an addition gate, a subtraction gate, and a threshold gate module based on the DNA strand displacement principle are cascaded into a single DNA neuron, and the neuron cascade is used to form a feedforward transfer neural network. We use this feedforward neural network to realize XOR logic operation and full adder logic operation, which proves that the molecular neural network system based on DNA strand displacement can carry out complex nonlinear operation and reflects the powerful potential of building these molecular neural networks.
