Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the relation between an exper- imental condition and computational (reaction) efficiency of a simple model in DNA computing. A DNA computing algorithm needs many chemical and enzyme reactions in its solution process. An experimental condition for DNA computing is generally based on a molecular biology protocol. However, the purpose of an experiment is different in DNA computing and molecular biology. Therefore, we verified the relation bet- ween an experimental condition, reaction time, and reaction efficiency specifically from the viewpoint of DNA computing.
