Signal Amplification in Thermodynamic Binding Networks.
Student-Run Research Seminar| Speaker: | Joshua Petrack, UC Davis |

Molecular computing is a growing and heavily interdisciplinary field that seeks to develop ways to do computation using molecular substrates, primarily DNA, instead of silicon. Thermodynamic Binding Networks are a relatively new combinatorial model that models the thermodynamic equilibrium of a mixture of DNA strands. I will go over the model and my work on the problem of signal amplification, that is, having a large change in the thermodynamic equilibrium of a system in response to a small change in its input. I will also show some preliminary experimental results.
