• Resumen

  • The article focuses on the development of biocomputers capable of performing basic logic functions, counting, adding, and storing data in memory. It states the biocomputers use chemical signals to communicate and comments on how chemical signals are inherently noisy with multiple components that use a particular chemical with the capacity to communicate at the same time. It comments on the use of biocomputers that trigger production of luciferase when exposed to biomarkers or toxic molecules.
