89. It is worth noting that, in the case of all-optical molecular logic gates, thermodynamically downhill energy-transfer processes are required to achieve serial connection. Hence, only a limited number of serial integrations can be performed before the energy of the photons used to propagate the signal becomes too small. For a brief discussion, see reference [15a].

104. It should be recalled that, although the oligonucleotides used in references [21], [22], and [23c,d] are synthetic molecules, their operation as logic devices relies on the outstanding recognition properties of the natural DNA bases.
