DNA computation model to solve 0-1 programming problem.

0-1 programming problem is an important problem in opsearch with very widespread applications. In this paper, a new DNA computation model utilizing solution-based and surface-based methods is presented to solve the 0-1 programming problem. This model contains the major benefits of both solution-based and surface-based methods; including vast parallelism, extraordinary information density and ease of operation. The result, verified by biological experimentation, revealed the potential of DNA computation in solving complex programming problem.

A Chinese Postman Problem based on DNA computing.

DNA computing is a novel method for solving a class of intractable computational problems, in which the computing can grow exponentially with the problem size. Up to now, many accomplishments have been achieved to improve its performance and increase its reliability. A Chinese Postman Problem has been solved by means of molecular biology techniques in the paper. A small graph was encoded in molecules of DNA, and the "operations" of the computation were performed with standard protocols and enzymes. This work represents further evidence for the ability of DNA computing to solve NP-complete search problems.
