Abstract
This paper deals with information processing in biomolecule-based biomimetic systems (i.e., artificial systems in which a biomolecule is involved, and whose purpose is to mimic biological functions). Several approaches are presented, based on structures ranging from the macroscopic to the nanoscopic scale. The first part is devoted to the biosensing function: the basic principle, the possible transducers, the main applications. The second part presents integrated information on processing functions in macroscopic structures: active transport, biological clocks, mathematical operations, information storage and control functions. In the third part, the evolution of this field toward the nanoscopic scale is described, with the presentation of some methods of creating nanoscopic structures (adsorbed and chemically bound monolayers, black lipid membrane (BLM) and Langmuir-Blodgett techniques), and their application in the field of biosensors. Finally, new trends in information processing by nanoscopic systems are discussed.
