A terbium complex (Figure 5.13) is a molecular logic gate corresponding to a two-input INHIBIT function the output (a terbium emission line) is observed only when the inputs , the presence of proteins and the absence of oxygen, are both satisfied. 

The logic gate can enable information processing and computation at the molecular level. Examples of molecular logic gates were described already...

Combinations of these switches, appropriately wired, lead to molecular logic gates. Collier et al. illustrate this by setting up two-input AND and three-input OR gates with a small array of switches containing several million viologen molecules in each. The excellent on/off discrimination in the output current can be ascribed to the diode-like nonlinearity in the switches when in their closed states.
