Biomolecular computers with multiple restriction enzymes

Biomolecular computers with multiple restriction enzymes

The development of conventional, silicon-based computers has several limitations, including some related to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and the von Neumann "bottleneck". Biomolecular computers based on DNA and proteins are largely free of these disadvantages and, along with quantum computers, are reasonable alternatives to their conventional counterparts in some applications. The idea ...

More powerful biomolecular computers

Biomolecular computers, along with quantum computers, may be a future alternative for traditional, silicon-based computers. Main advantages of biomolecular computers are massive parallel processing of data, expanded capacity of storing information and compatibility with living organisms (first attempts of using biomolecular computers in cancer therapy through blocking of improper genetic inform...

REBASE: restriction enzymes and methyltransferases

REBASE contains comprehensive information about restriction enzymes, DNA methyltransferases and related proteins such as nicking enzymes, specificity subunits and control proteins. It contains published and unpublished references, recognition and cleavage sites, isoschizomers, commercial availability, crystal and sequence data. Homing endonucleases are also included. REBASE contains the most co...

Restriction enzymes and their isoschizomers.

Since the last compilation of restriction enzymes, (1) 442 new entries have been added including 13 new specificities. A complete list of these new enzymes can be found in Table I. With the growing size of the restriction enzyme database and the recognition that the most widespread use of the information is as a database for computer programs predicting restriction enzyme cleavage patterns, Tab...
