Abstract: This paper introduces APA (“Artificial Prion Assembly”): a pattern recognition system based on artificial prion crystalization. Specifically, the system exhibits the capability to classify patterns according to the resulting prion self- assembly simulated with cellular automata. Our approach is inspired in the biological process of proteins aggregation, known as prions, which are assembled as amyloid fibers related with neurodegenerative disorders.

Keywords: pattern recognition, prion protein aggregation, crystal growth, simulation models.

ACM Classification Keywords: F.1. Computation by abstract devices, F1.1. Models of Computation.
