In this theoretical work, I investigate photoswitchable proteins as possible building blocks of computing, and signal processing architectures of the future. Coulomb-coupled, photon-pulse controlled macromolecular arrays are proposed and explored with the aid of a simple, mixed quantum-classical, nanoelectromechanical model. I show chains for digital signal propagation, and possibly universal logic gates, therefore computing architectures can be constructed from such proteins. Furthermore, I explore the basic molecular properties needed for their realization, and I show that photoswitchable proteins are possible candidates for this purpose.
