Abstract

Two specific mappings called doubler fd and linearizer f l are introduced to bridge two domains of languages. That is, f d maps string languages into (double-stranded) molecular languages, while fl transforms in the other way around. Using these mappings, we give new characterizations for the families of sticker languages and of Watson-Crick languages, which leads to not only a unified view of the two families of languages but also a clarified view of the computational capability of the DNA complementarity. One of the results implies that any recursively enumerable language can be expressed as the projective image of fd(L) for a minimal linear language L.
