DNA possesses unique electronic properties which may be of utility for devising electronic elements of nanometer size. We present some examples of double‐stranded oligonucleotides with control electrodes which realize logical elements NOT, OR, AND, and XOR basic for Boolean logic. The logical gates constructed are nondissipative which solves the well‐known problem of huge energy consumption by electronic systems of ultrahigh density. We demonstrate that DNA‐based electronic computing circuits can be created in principle. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2008
