In Whiplash PCR (WPCR), autonomous biomolecular computation is implemented in vitro by the recursive, self-directed polymerase extension of a mixture of DNA hairpins. In this work, the statistical thermodynamic formalism for modeling and simulation of two related processes, mis-hybridization and back-hybridization, which are known to compromise the computational fidelity and efficiency of both WPCR and PNA-mediated WPCR (PWPCR) is reviewed and expanded. Illustrative simulations of the predicted impact of each effect are provided, and their relative effects on overall WPCR feasibility are compared, along with a discussion of existing strategies to improve efficiency. A novel re-engineered architecture, Displacement WPCR (DWPCR) is then proposed, which eliminates back-hybridization, via targeted protection by primer annealing, polymerase extension, and DNA strand displacement.
