title: A systems perspective to digital structures in molecular analysis.
abstract: Within the last decade, the advance of miniaturization has opened the window to new systems that permit digital and molecular science to intersect, suggesting a new role for organic chemistry. Currently, fusion of molecules and electronic digits, as well as molecular-based digital structures, have expanded the conventional interpretation of the digit. This emergence has already generated new technological platforms with unique applications for molecular analysis and computation. We provide a brief overview of the conventional understanding of digital devices, examine the concept of molecular-based digits, and suggest new architectures by examining studies conducted on the compact discs. This analysis presents a perspective for the unique interaction of molecules and digits and the development of digital-based platforms for molecular analysis.
