Abstract
DNA RAM can eliminate the computational overhead of sequence design because the same RAM can be used for various computations once it is made. In this paper, we report a new method to construct RAM by using the hairpin structure of DNA, and the 4-bit RAM that we actually constructed with this method. We conducted an experiment to distinguish all 16 states of the 4-bit RAM, and another to verify our achievement of a successive writing operation. Finally, we performed aqueous computing with this 4-bit RAM.
