    The document discusses protein memory, which uses the light-sensitive protein bacteriorhodopsin to store data in a 3D format. Bacteriorhodopsin changes structure when exposed to light and can be switched between two states representing binary 0 and 1. Data can be written by exposing bacteriorhodopsin to different colored lights and read back by detecting the resulting light absorption.

    Some of the key takeaways are that protein memory uses the light-sensitive protein bacteriorhodopsin to store data optically in a 3D format, it has advantages in terms speed, reliability, temperature tolerance and cost compared to electronic memory, and potential applications include ultrafast RAM, fingerprint processing, and optical computing.

    Bacteriorhodopsin is a light-sensitive protein found in certain bacteria that changes its structure when exposed to light. It plays the key role in protein memory by being able to exist in two stable states (corresponding to 0 and 1) when exposed to different wavelengths of light, allowing binary data to be stored by arranging molecules in different states.

    Bacteriorhodopsin folds into a seven alpha-helix membrane structure with a retinal molecule attached via a lysine residue. This structure allows it to undergo a photocycle and change conformation when exposed to different wavelengths of light, encoding data in its two stable states.

    Introduction
    Since the dawn of time, human has tried to record their
    events, information and techniques for future use.

    From the evaluation of computers, many storage


    techniques were used like punch cards, Storage disk,
    magnetic disk and electronic chips.

    Protein memory was discovered by Walther Stoeckenius


    and Dieter Oesterhelt at Rockefeller University in New York.

    They discovered that a protein isolated from a salt marsh


    bacterium exhibited photosensitive properties. They called
    this protein bacteriorhodopsin ,because it was very similar
    to the protein, rhodopsin that founds in the eyes of humans
    and animals.
    Present State of Storage
    Device
    The demand made upon the computers and computing
    devices are increasing each years. However, the RAM
    used in most devices are of same type.

    In response to the demand for faster, more


    compact and more affordable memory storage devices,
    several alternative have appeared in recent years.
    Among the most promising approaches include
    memory storage using protein-based memory.
    Protein Memory

    How Protein Memory compete with electronic memory?

    1. Speed
    2. Reliability
    3. Capability
    4. Cost

    It is 3-Dimensional Optical RAM Storage using the light


    sensitive protein bacteriorhodopsin.

    Basic unit of Protein Memory

    Bacterial protein molecule - Bacteriorhodopsin (bR)


    Bacteriorhodopsin
    Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein found in purple
    membranes of several species bacteria, most notably
    Halobacterium Halobium.

    The main scheme of this protein that changes


    structure when it is exposed to light, the two lasting
    state can be assigned the binary value 0 or 1, making it
    possible to store information as series of
    Bacteriorhodopsin molecules in one state or another.

    Data Erase and
    Refresh
    Blue laser erases encoded data.

    Q state absorb blue light and return to original


    bR state.

    Individual data can be erased using blue laser.

    The page is refreshed by new write operation.


    Advantages

    This is based on protein that is inexpensive to produce


    in quantity.
    The system has the ability to operate over a wider range
    of temperatures than a semiconductor memory can do.
    The data is stable i.e. the memory systems power is
    turned off, the molecules retain their information.
    This is portable i.e. we can remove small data cubes and
    ship GBs of data around for storage or backups.
    Data can be stored for many years without any
    refreshment.
    Applications

    Ultra fast RAM

    Finger print processing

    Optical switches

    Neural Logic gates (genetic engineering).


    Conclusion

    During the past decade, the speed of computer


    processors increased almost 1,000 times, where as
    data storage capacities increased only by a factor
    of 50. Also, the transfer of data within the
    computer remains the principal bottleneck that
    limits performance.

    Protein memories use laser beam, which


    improve their life with reduction in wear and tear.
