Abstract
We propose a theoretical model to realize DNA made circuits based on in-vitro algorithms, to perform arithmetic and logical operations. The physical components of the resulting Arithmetic-Logic Unit are a variety of elements such as biochemical laboratories, test tubes and human operators. The advantage of the model is the possibility to perform arithmetic operations with huge binary numbers.
