TT-100
The TT-100 was the first attempt within bioelectronics to build a computer on the basis of DNA , i.e. the genetic material of living beings . It was designed by Leonard Adleman in 1994 to demonstrate the storage and processing capabilities of DNA. The problem to be solved was coded as specially sequenced DNA. The solution was then the molecule synthesized in free reaction.
The DNA computer consisted of a test tube containing 100 microliters of a DNA-saturated liquid. For this reason he called him TT-100 ( T est t ube with 100 microliters). With the help of this invention, he solved a simple version of Hamilton's path problem .
