A possible mechanism of image recognition by molecules and the design of receiving-and-transforming systems

Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of the mechanism of image recognition by a complex molecular system based on a set of independent primary signals is considered. Image recognition is interpreted as the appearance of a structural transformation in one remote receiving-and-recording center taking place when and only when all the primary signals have appeared. This principle ensures the most economical pattern for the information and energy transfer. The necessary properties of the receiving-and-transforming molecular elements are discussed. The task of designing a receiving-and-transforming molecular system is reduced to solution of either a formal logical equation or a set of kinetic differential equations of a special form. Examples of computer simulations are given.
