Abstract:
In previous work, a large number of articles have been published to implement coupled synchronization of chaotic systems in DNA-based reaction networks. Up to now, there have been few studies on backstepping synchronous control of chaotic systems through DNA strand displacement. A backstepping synchronization control approach for three-dimensional chaotic system by employing DNA strand displacement is developed in this study. First of all, using the programming properties of DNA molecules, four basic strand displacement reaction modules are given. In the light of these reaction modules as well as the law of mass action kinetics, a novel three-dimensional DNA chaotic system is presented. Second of all, by relying on backstepping control theory and DNA reaction modules, three synchronous controllers are developed to guarantee the synchronization between two three-dimensional DNA chaotic systems. Final of all, numerical simulation results are carried out to verify the validity and applicability of the backstepping synchronization control.

There are several major differences between synthesis of the leading strand and synthesis of the lagging strand. 1) Leading strand synthesis happens in the direction of replication fork opening, whereas lagging strand synthesis happens in the...

The synthesis of the leading and lagging strands is a highly coordinated process. To explain this, the “Trombone model” was proposed by Bruce Alberts in 1980. The DNA loop formation starts when a primer is synthesized on the parent lagging strand. The loop grows with...
