In 1952, Turing outlined computational processes in the morphogenesis [8], thus thinking of the biological evolution of an organism as a consequence of the computation that it can perform. Following Turing’s idea on morphogenesis, many biological processes have been recently analysed from a computational standpoint. In 1995, Bray [2] argued that
a single protein is a computational or information carrying element
, being able to convert input signals into an output signal. Evolution had already been associated with computation many years before, by von Neumann and Burks [9], who constructed a self-replicating cellular automaton with the aim of developing synthetic models of a living organism. Starting from this concept, in this work we propose a relation between computation and metabolism.
