Abstract :
Computing with biochemical reactions emerges in synthetic biology. With high-level programming languages, a target computation can be intuitively and effectively specified. As control flows form the skeleton of most programs, how to translate them into biochemical reactions is crucial but remains ad hoc. This paper shows a systematic approach to transforming control flows into robust molecular reactions. Case studies demonstrate its usefulness.
