Abstract

Due to the limitation of technology, electronic computing is approaching the limit of technology, and new computing tools need to be developed. Here, we build a three-input cascade logic gate based on the advantages of biomolecules, particularly DNA, in the construction of computational logic systems, combined with metal ions and graphene oxide (GO). It is worth mentioning that this study uses a variety of research methods. In addition to the commonly used biological experiments, NUPACK and visual DSD simulation methods are used for analysis, and orthogonal, standardized and other statistical means are used to simplify the experimental process and make the results intuitive. Finally, the designed three-input logic gate is successfully constructed, and it is found that it may have the potential to realize complex computing.
