Abstract

Informed decisions: Logic operations (AND, OR, NOR) can be performed with an enzyme by tagging it and its inhibitor with single-strand DNA. By adding appropriate single-strand DNA, the activity of the enzyme complex can be switched ON and OFF (see picture for NOR logic; DE: DNA-tagged enzyme; DI 1, DI2: DNA-tagged inhibitors), or it can be used as a sensitive PCR-independent gene-diagnostic probe. (Chemical Equation Presented).
