It has been proved that deoxyribozymes, which is the DNA counterparts of ribozymes, can be used to develop logic gates and can solve simple computational problems [6]. Ribozymes, which are specific nucleic acid enzymes, exist in nature. These enzymes are structurally single stranded RNA molecules which have catalytic power and several other biological activities. On the other hand, deoxyribozymes, which are also single stranded structure, have to be synthesized in vitro. These enzymes generally catalyze the reactions of nucleic acid substrates, such as DNA-RNA ligation, RNA cleavage, and many more.
