=== Toehold exchange === Besides simple strand displacement schemes, DNA computers have also been constructed using the concept of toehold exchange.<ref name=":4" /> In this system, an input DNA strand binds to a [[sticky end]], or toehold, on another DNA molecule, which allows it to displace another strand segment from the molecule. This allows the creation of modular logic components such as AND, OR, and NOT gates and signal amplifiers, which can be linked into arbitrarily large computers. This class of DNA computers does not require enzymes or any chemical capability of the DNA.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Seelig|first1=G.|last2=Soloveichik|first2=D.|last3=Zhang|first3=D.
