We report the construction of a DNA-based computational platform that uses a library of catalytic nucleic acids (DNAzymes)10, and their substrates, for the input-guided dynamic assembly of a universal set of logic gates and a half-adder/half-subtractor system.We demonstrate multilayered gate cascades, fan-out gates and parallel logic gate operations. In response to input markers, the system can regulate the controlled expression of anti-sense molecules, or aptamers, that act as inhibitors for enzymes.
