A deep artificial neural network powered by enzymes

Molecular networks have been developed that can classify complex mixtures of DNA sequences that cannot be categorized by a single linear classifier. To do this, artificial ‘neurons’ powered by enzymes are wired together to form an architecture that mimics the structure of a neural network.

This is a summary of: Okumura, S. et al. Nonlinear decision-making with enzymatic neural networks. Nature 610, 496–501 (2022).
