Extensive research work has already been done on non deterministic Watson Crick automata and on deterministic Watson Crick automata. Parallel Communicating Watson Crick automata systems have been introduced by E. Czeziler et al. In this paper we discuss about a variant of Watson Crick automata known as the two-way Watson Crick automata which are more powerful than non-deterministic Watson Crick automata. We also establish the equivalence of different subclasses of two-way Watson crick automata. We further show that recursively enumerable (RE) languages can be realized by an image of generalized sequential machine (gsm) mapping of two-way Watson-Crick automata.展开更多

Geometry optimizations were carried out on the four bases and ten base pairs at the B3LYP level with 6-31G^（＊＊） basis set. All the optimizations were performed within Cs symmetry. The optimum structures for the four bases and seven cis WC/WC base pairs were obtained, and Natural Bond Orbital analysis（NBO） was based on these structures. The possibilities of matches between any two of the four bases through their Watson-Crick（WC） edges were discussed. The structures of seven cis WC/WC base pairs change to a certain extent relative to these of the four bases due to the formation of hydrogen bonds. These base pairs existing in DNA have an important influence on the structural stability of the double helix. The analysis of the electronic structures and molecular orbitals for seven cis WC/WC base pairs can provide significant information about the relationship between charge transfer along the hydrogen bond and the Frontier orbitals of these base pairs.展开更多
