Abstract

Self-assembly is the process that the component form an ordered form or structure. Because of the biochemical characteristics of DNA molecules, they become a research emphasis in the field of self-assembly. DNA-based self-assembly technology has been widely used in the fields of nanometer machining, molecular circuit, polymer materials, and so on. DNA self-assembly is an effective mechanism that nanometer structure is built bottom-up. In order to overcome the problem that any kind of self-assembled model can only solve the single algorithm, in this paper, a new DNA self-assembly algorithmic model is designed to solve compound logic operators problem. Five types of DNA tiles are designed according to the characteristic of compound operation problem, namely Initial Tile, Process Tile, Operation Tile, End Tile and Boundary Tile. At last, the process of self-assembly are demonstrated by an instance.
