ABSTRACT
Computer simulation has been an important technique to capture the dynamics of biochemical networks. In most networks, however, few kinetic parameters have been measured in vivo because of experimental complexity. We develop a kinetic parameter estimation system, named the CADLIVE Optimizer, which comprises genetic algorithms-based solvers with a graphical user interface. This optimizer is integrated into the CADLIVE Dynamic Simulator to attain efficient simulation for dynamic models.
ABSTRACT
DNA electronic devices were prepared on silicon-based three-terminal electrodes. Both ends of DNA molecules (400 bp long, mixed sequences) were bridged via chemical bonds between the source-drain nanogap (120 nm) electrodes. S-Shaped I-V curves were obtained and the electric current can be modulated by the gate voltage. The DNA molecules act as semiconducting p-type nanowires in the three-terminal device.
