Algorithm to Simulate a Chemically Induced DNA Logic Gate and Boolean Circuit

A simple proof-of-principle type of simulation of chemically implemented logic gate is proposed in this paper using the structural switching of single stranded DNA strand from i-motif to hairpin and vice versa which is triggered by regulating H⁺ and copper (II) ions. The advantage of such chemically induced gates lies in its fast response time, controllability and reusability feature. Later on this simulation process is expressed in the form of algorithm to evaluate AND-OR Boolean circuit.
