The studied enzyme-based biocatalytic system mimics NXOR Boolean logic gate, which is a logical operator that corresponds to equality in Boolean algebra. It gives the functional value true (1) if both functional arguments (input signals) have the same logical value (0,0 or 1,1), and false (0) if they are different (0,1 or 1,0). The output signal producing reaction is catalyzed by pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (PQQ-GDH), which is inhibited at acidic and basic pH values.

The biocatalytic reactions proceeded through bulk solution diffusion of intermediate substrates or substrate channeling, when the systems were dispersed or aggregated, respectively. The both pathways have shown very similar kinetics, unless the intermediate substrate was consumed by an additional biocatalytic process called "filter" for brevity.

Inputs-represented by pairs of chemicals-cross-react to largely cancel out when both are nearly equal. The cross-reaction can be designed to also optimize gate functioning for noise handling.
