The next great
change in computer science and information technology will
come from mimicking the techniques by which biological
organisms process information. To do this computer scientists
must draw on expertise in subjects not usually associa-ted
with their field, including organic chemistry, molecular
biology, bioengineering, and smart mate-rials. This book
provides an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of
molecular computing.

The book moves
from abstract principles of molecular computing to the
building of actual systems. The topics include the use of
proteins and other molecules for information-processing,
molecular recognition, computation in nonlinear media,
computers based on physical reaction-diffusion systems found
in chemical media, DNA computing,
bioelectronics and protein-based optical computing, and
biosensors.

This book has been
written in an attempt to elucidate many of the issues
surrounding the above ideas and their application to molecular
computing systems. We have tried to organize the chapters in
such a way that the flow is from most abstract and most basic
to more and more complex or applied systems.
