Daly B, Moody T, Huxley A, Yao C, Schazmann B, Alves-Areias A, et al.
Nat Commun . 2019 Jan; 10(1):49. PMID: 30664631
Molecular-logic based computation (MLBC) has grown by accumulating many examples of combinational logic gates and a few sequential variants. In spite of many inspirations being available in biology, there are...

McLaughlin B, Surender E, Wright G, Daly B, de Silva A
Chem Commun (Camb) . 2017 Dec; 54(11):1319-1322. PMID: 29210385
The fluorescence of sensors 1 and 6, which are designed in terms of photoinduced electron transfer (PET), is switched 'on' by factors of 15 and 6 with avidin in a...

Ling J, Naren G, Kelly J, Fox D, de Silva A
Chem Sci . 2017 Nov; 6(8):4472-4478. PMID: 29142699
The recently-discovered ability of small logical molecules to recognize edges is exploited to achieve outline drawing from binary templates. Outlines of arbitrary curvature, several colours and thicknesses down to 1...

McKinney B, Daly B, Yao C, Schroeder M, de Silva A
Chemphyschem . 2017 Mar; 18(13):1760-1766. PMID: 28349591
Proton-driven YES and PASS 1 molecular logic tags based on anthracene and 4-aminonaphthalimide fluorophores, emitting blue and green, respectively, are employed on amino-terminated polyethylene glycol-polystyrene and aminopropyl silica particles. The...

Beilstein J Org Chem . 2016 Feb; 11:2774-84. PMID: 26877799
The circumstances in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which led to a) the generalization of luminescent PET (photoinduced electron transfer) sensing/switching as a design tool, b) the...

Uchiyama S, Fukatsu E, McClean G, de Silva A
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2015 Oct; 55(2):768-71. PMID: 26503173
The Na(+) concentration near membranes controls our nerve signals aside from several other crucial bioprocesses. Fluorescent photoinduced electron transfer (PET) sensor molecules target Na(+) ions in nanospaces near micellar membranes...

Ling J, Naren G, Kelly J, Qureshi A, de Silva A
Faraday Discuss . 2015 Sep; 185:337-46. PMID: 26395473
Molecular logic-based computation continues to throw up new applications in sensing and switching, the newest of which is the edge detection of objects. The scope of this phenomenon is mapped...

Ling J, Daly B, Silverson V, de Silva A
Chem Commun (Camb) . 2015 Mar; 51(40):8403-9. PMID: 25752825
Molecular logic-based computation is a broad umbrella covering molecular sensors at its simplest level and logic gate arrays involving steadily increasing levels of parallel and serial integration. The fluorescent PET...

Ling J, Naren G, Kelly J, Moody T, de Silva A
J Am Chem Soc . 2015 Mar; 137(11):3763-6. PMID: 25751676
Genetically engineered bacteria and reactive DNA networks detect edges of objects, as done in our retinas and as also found within computer vision. We now demonstrate that simple molecular logic...
