Self-assembly of DNA-coded nanoclusters | | Nicholas A. Licata

15 Jun 2006 | | Subject: | Soft Condensed Matter; Materials Science; Statistical Mechanics | | Abstract: | We present a theoretical discussion of a self-assembly scheme which makes it possible to use DNA to uniquely encode the composition and structure of micro- and nanoparticle clusters. These anisotropic DNA-decorated clusters can be further used as building blocks for hierarchical self-assembly of larger structures. We address several important aspects of possible experimental implementation of the proposed scheme: the competition between different types of clusters in a solution, possible jamming in an unwanted configuration, and the degeneracy due to symmetry with respect to particle permutations. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0606397 | | Other source: | [GID 499884] pmid17155011 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
