The cell is the basic unit of life and can be interpreted as a chemical machine. The present knowledge of molecular biology allows the characterization of the metabolism as a processing unit/concept. This concept is an evolutionary biochemical product, which has been developed over millions of years. In this paper we will present and discuss the analyzed features of metabolism, which represent the fundamental features of the metabolic computing process. Furthermore, we will compare this molecular computing method with methods which are defined and discussed in computer science. Finally, we will formalize the metabolic processing method.
