A logical conclusion: Dna logic gates constructed by using a Cu2+-dependent DNA-cleaving deoxyribozyme are as efficient as the relatively unstable ribonucleotide-containing systems. The inputs (effectors), gates (deoxyribozymes), and outputs (substrates) are represented by chemically robust Dna oligonucleotides, which perform logic operations including "YES", "NOT", and "And (A,Not (B),Not (C))" (see picture).
