Preface
The use of biomolecular systems for processing information, performing logic operations, computational operations, and even automata performance is a rapidly developing research area. The entire field was named with the general buzzwords, “biomolecular computing” or “biocomputing.” Exciting advances in the area include the use of various biomolecular systems including proteins/enzymes, DNA, RNA, DNAzymes, antigens/antibodies, and even whole biological (usually microbial) cells operating as “hardware” for unconventional computing. The present book concentrates on enzymatic systems, which involve biocatalytic reactions utilized for information processing (biocomputing). Extensive ongoing research in the enzyme‐based biocomputing, mimicking Boolean logic gates, has been motivated by potential applications in biotechnology and medicine. Furthermore, novel biosensor concepts have been contemplated with multiple inputs processed biochemically before the final output is coupled to transducing electronic or optical systems. These applications have warranted recent emphasis on networking of enzyme logic gates. First few gate networks have been experimentally realized, including coupling, for instance, to signal‐responsive electrodes for signal readout. In order to achieve scalable, stable network design and functioning, considerations of noise propagation and control have been initiated as a new research direction. Optimization of single enzyme‐based gates for avoiding analog noise amplification has been explored, as were certain network optimization concepts. The book reviews and exemplifies these developments, as well as offers an outlook for possible future research foci. The latter include design and uses of non‐Boolean network elements, e.g., filters, as well as other developments motivated by potential novel biosensor and biotechnology applications. The most important feature of the enzyme biocomputing systems is their operation in biochemical and even biological environment. Many different applications of these systems, in addition to unconventional computation, are feasible, while their biosensor/biomedical use is obviously one of the most important applications. Interfacing of biological systems with biosensors, “smart” signal‐responsive materials, and bioelectronic devices is of highest importance for future developments in the area of biomolecular computing.
The various topics covered highlight key aspects and the future perspectives of the enzyme‐based computing. The different topics addressed in this book will be of high interest to the interdisciplinary community active in the area of unconventional biocomputing. The readers can find additional complementary material on molecular [1] and biomolecular [2] computing published recently by Wiley‐VCH. It is hoped that the book will be important and beneficial for researchers and students working in various areas related to biochemical computing, including biochemistry, materials science, computer science, and so on. Furthermore, the book is aimed to attract young scientists and introduce them to the field while providing newcomers with an enormous collection of literature references. I, indeed, hope that the book will spark the imagination of scientists to further develop the topic.
The text was carefully proofread, and the figures were meticulously redrawn and checked to eliminate possible typos, mistakes, and unclear meaning. Still because of the large volume and big number (230) figures, some problems may appear. If this happens, the readers are advised to go to the original publications following the references provided.
A significant amount of the discussed material has originated from the studies to which I have personally contributed. I am very grateful to all scientists, researchers, and students who have participated in this research and have made the achieved results possible.
I would like to conclude this preface by thanking my wife Nina for her support in every respect in the past 47 years. Without her help and support, it would not have been possible to complete this work.

Professor Vladimir Privman (1955–2018), Director of the Center for Quantum Device Technology and Robert A. Plane Professor of Physics with joint appointments in the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Science and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Clarkson University, NY, USA), was a great contributor to the research area of enzyme computing, and this book would not be possible without his work. The majority of the material presented in this book includes contributions by Professor Privman.
His research interests spanned broad areas of advanced technology, including bio‐inspired information processing, synthesis of colloids and nanoparticles, kinetics of surface processes at the nanoscale, physics of semiconductor devices, spintronics, quantum computing, statistical mechanics, chemical kinetics, and surface and polymer science.
Professor Privman began earning recognition early in his career, receiving the Petroleum Research Fund Young Investigator Award and the Clarkson University Graham Award for Young Faculty Excellence. He contributed to a wide range of scientific fields and was a lecturer or moderator at national and international conferences every year. He authored/coauthored over 280 research papers, major reviews, and books. He served on numerous boards of scientific journals, and national funding agencies, and received an American Physical Society Outstanding Referee Award. In 2005 he was named a fellow of the American Physical Society, which recognized his fundamental contributions and professional leadership in statistical physics; surface, colloid, and polymer science; and quantum information science. In 2010 he was named an International Academy, Research, and Industry Association (IARIA) fellow.
Over the past 10 years, Professor Privman has been among the key players in the unconventional computing field. Particularly noteworthy are his contributions to the integration of biomolecular computing and actuation, implementation of biochemical logical gates, biomolecular signal processing, networked enzymatic gates with filtering, associative memory based on enzymatic cascades, biochemical logic for drug release, biomolecular filters for signal separation, enzymatic systems for information processing, and digital biosensors. Professor Privman's contributions to quantum computing were in the evaluation of decoherence for quantum computing architectures, modeling of semiconductor spintronics, quantum control, nuclear spin‐based memory and logic in quantum hall semiconductors, Hamiltonians for quantum computing, and three‐spin XOR gate.
In 2005 Professor Privman edited the Special Issue containing papers from the 2004 IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) Quantum Device Technology Workshop, which was held on 17–21 May 2004, in Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY. The contents of the issue demonstrated breakthroughs in several fields of novel materials and devices, including biochemical logical gates, styrene butadiene rubber nanocomposites, swarms of microscale nanorobots, robots for target therapies, biomolecular motors, magnetoresistive detection of nanoparticles, and self‐assembly of quantum dots. In 2017 the International Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems (vol. 32, issue 1) published a special issue Signal processing, biosensing, and computing with bio‐inspired and biochemical systems compiled and edited by Professor Privman. He presented the field of unconventional computing with diverse contributions such as reaction–diffusion chemistry implementation of neural networks, fluidic infrastructure for enzyme‐based Boolean logic circuits, architectures of nano‐biointerfaces, modeling of enzymatic signal processing, wireless sensor networks with biological cultures, biosensors and memristors in networks of plants, oscillator dynamics of slime mold, insulin biosensor, and biocomputing in forensic analysis.
Professor Privman was highly regarded by his peers and students. He was proud of his trainee's success and advancement and took an active role in mentoring undergraduate, graduate, postdoc, and senior researchers in several departments at Clarkson University. He enjoyed training and collaborating with scientists throughout the United States and internationally. His passing is a great loss to the scientific community.

1Introduction
1.1 Motivation and Applications
Exponential development of computing systems based on silicon materials and binary algorithms formulated as the “Moore's law” [1] (Figure 1.1) is coming to the end being limited by further component miniaturization and by the speed of operation. Conceptually novel ideas are needed to break through these limitations. The quest for novel ideas in the information processing has resulted in several exciting directions in the general area of unconventional computing [2–4], including research in quantum computing [5] and biologically inspired molecular computing [6–9]. Molecular computing systems, generally motivated by mimicking natural biological information processing [10, 11], are not necessarily based on biomolecules and could be represented by synthetic molecules with signal‐controlled switchable properties. Synthetic molecular systems and nano‐species have been designed to mimic the operation of Boolean logic gates and demonstrate basic arithmetic functions and memory units. However, despite progress achieved in assembling synthetic molecular systems performing basic Boolean operations and simple computations, these systems have limited complexity, and further increase of their complexity is very challenging. A new advance in the development of molecular information systems has been achieved with the use of biomolecular species [12] (Figure 1.2) such as DNA/RNA [13–16], oligopeptides [17], proteins [18], enzymes [2, 19, 20], antigens/antibodies [21], and even whole biological cells/organisms [22–24] capable of operating in a biological environment [25], borrowing some ideas from systems biology [26]. The advantage of the biomolecular computing systems is their ability to be integrated in artificially designed complex reacting processes mimicking multistep information processing networks. These systems are still far away from the natural information processing in cells but are already much more complex than pure synthetic molecular systems. In fact, biochemical reactions are at the core of the mechanism of life itself, and therefore one could set rather ambitious expectations for how far can (bio)chemical reaction systems be scaled up in complexity, if not speed, for information processing. While in a long perspective a “biocomputer” might become a reality [27], particularly for some special applications, e.g., for solving complex combinatorial problems [28], potentially promising to have an advantage over silicon‐based electronic computers due to parallel computing performed by numerous biomolecular units, the present level of technology does not allow any practical use of biomolecular systems for real computational applications. For achieving any practical result soon, some other applications, different from making a biocomputer, should be considered using the (bio)molecular systems with a limited complexity. One of the immediate possible applications for molecular logic systems is a special kind of biosensing [29–31] where the multiple input signals are logically processed through chemical reactions resulting in YES/NO decisions in the binary (0,1) format. In this subarea of biomolecular logic systems, practical results are already possible at the present level of the system complexity, particularly for biomedical applications [32, 33]. Overall, the research in molecular/biomolecular information processing, which has been motivated originally to progress unconventional computing applications, is broadly developing to areas not directly related to computing in its narrow definition. This research is bringing us to novel areas in sensing/biosensing [29–31], switchable “smart” materials controlled by logically processed signals [34–36], bioelectronic devices (e.g., biofuel cells) controlled by external signals [37, 38], signal‐controlled release processes [39–43], etc.

1.2 Enzyme‐Based Logic Gates and Short Logic Circuits
While the major research efforts have been directed to the DNA‐based computing systems [10, 13–15], mostly aiming at computing applications in their direct narrow definition [27, 44–50] and expecting acceleration of the computing process due to massively parallel data processing [28, 51], enzyme logic systems [19, 20] received smaller attention since they are less promising for real large‐scale computational applications. Growing interest to the enzyme logic systems is based on their activation with physiologically relevant biomolecular signals (metabolites) appearing at physiological concentrations [52–54] allowing low‐scale information processing for biomedical applications, such as binary (YES/NO format) biosensing [32, 33], signal‐controlled materials, and implantable bioelectronic devices [55].
Enzyme‐based logic gates are usually realized through relatively simple enzyme‐catalyzed reactions [19, 20] (Figure 1.3). Rapid progress in enzyme‐based information processing systems has resulted in the design of biocatalytic cascades mimicking various Boolean logic gates, including AND [52, 56–59], OR [59, 60], NAND [61], NOR [57, 61], CNOT [62], XOR [57, 59, 63–65], INHIB [57, 59], Identity [57], and Inverter [57] gates. In order to digitalize chemical processes, the reacting species considered as logic input signals were applied at two levels of their concentrations: their physical absence (zero concentration) was defined as logic 0 input, while logic 1 input was defined as experimentally optimized and conveniently high concentration, thus allowing significant separation in the produced output signals when inputs 0 and 1 were applied in different combinations. Depending on specific needs set by applications, the input signals were defined as variable concentrations of substrates and/or cofactors reacting with enzymes [57] or different concentrations of the biocatalytic enzymes added to a “soup” of substrates/cofactors being ready to react with the enzymes [59]. The non‐variable part of the system was considered as a “machinery” operating with the variable input signals applied in various combinations. Multistep biocatalytic cascades activated by several (more than two) input signals have been assembled to mimic logic circuits composed of concatenated logic gates [66–69]. Various reaction cascades have been designed to mimic different combinations of concatenated logic gates; however, they usually do not include more than three or four logic steps. Due to noise formation and amplification through the reaction steps, the number of logic steps is limited, and theoretical estimation limits the system complexity by approximately 10 logic steps (which have never been realized experimentally in those enzyme‐biocatalyzed reactions) [70]. Complex branched biocatalytic reactions realized in flow cell systems have been used to mimic operation of reversible logic gates, such as Feynman gate, Double Feynman gate, Toffoli gate, Peres gate, and Fredkin gate [71–74].
