This seminar presentation discusses bio molecular computing. It explains that bio molecular computing uses biological molecules like DNA instead of silicon chips for computing. It works by pairing DNA bases and using enzymes to cut or splice DNA molecules. While bio molecular computing has potential advantages in terms of memory, it also faces challenges like being resource intensive, producing errors, and not allowing easy transmission of information. Whether bio molecular computing becomes practical will depend on overcoming these challenges and finding applications where it has clear advantages over traditional computing.
2. BIO means LIFE
BIO MOLECULE is any molecule that is present in living organisms, including large macromolecules such as protein, lipids and nucleic acids ETC.
COMPUTING simply means the process of utilizing computer technology to complete a task.
WHAT IS BIO MOLECULAR COMPUTING?
BIO Molecular computing is an emerging field to which chemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, electronic engineering, solid state physics and computer science
contribute to a large extent.
3. Bio molecular computing uses biological molecules like DNA (the very essence of life)
as opposed to traditional silicon chips used today .In this emerging
interdisciplinary field that brings together computer science, biology, chemistry
and mathematics can revolutionize our digital world.
4. There are different ways in which a DNA computer
can be built. On a basic level, all DNA computers
function by pairing bases on the two strands and
using certain enzymes to cut or splice the DNA
molecules at different locations.
7. Important events have taken place in the field of bio molecular computing in the last years.
In the process, practitioners have also come to realize that the unbridled use of molecules can quickly
offset the potential gain offered by these advantages by introducing errors that render the protocols
infeasible or unreliable. There indeed remain enormous scientific, engineering, and technological challenges
to bring this paradigm to full fruition, i.e. make bio molecular computing a competitive player in the
landscape of practical computing. Whether molecular computers will really happen in the near future will
depend not only on whether these challenges can be met, but, perhaps more importantly, on whether
molecular computing successfully carves a niche of killer" applications that would continue to energize
research efforts in the field.
