Abstract
A method is provided for improving a nucleic acid-based molecular computing system comprised of (i) a nucleic acid structure, (ii) at least one polynucleotide displacement molecule that can bind with the nucleic acid structure under hybridizing conditions, and (iii) a clashing polynucleotide molecule that competes with the polynucleotide displacement molecule for binding the nucleic acid structure under the hybridizing conditions The method entails incorporation of chemical modification that inhibits the binding of the clashing molecule and the nucleic acid structure or facilitates the binding of the displacement molecule and the nucleic structure.
