Designing DNA-grafted particles that self-assemble into desired crystalline structures using the genetic algorithm.
In conventional research, colloidal particles grafted with single-stranded DNA are allowed to self-assemble, and then the resulting crystal structures are determined. Although this Edisonian approach is useful for a posteriori understanding of the factors governing assembly, it does not allow one to a priori design ssDNA-grafted colloids that will assemble into desired structures. Here we addre...
متن کاملDense regular packings of irregular nonconvex particles.
We present a new numerical scheme to study systems of nonconvex, irregular, and punctured particles in an efficient manner. We employ this method to analyze regular packings of odd-shaped bodies, both from a nanoparticle and from a computational geometry perspective. Besides determining close-packed structures for 17 irregular shapes, we confirm several conjectures for the packings of a large s...
متن کاملTailless keratins assemble into regular intermediate filaments in vitro.
To study the influence of the non alpha-helical tail domain of keratins in filament formation, we prepared a truncated keratin 8 mutant, K8/tailless. Using site-directed in vitro mutagenesis we introduced a stop codon in the position coding for amino acid number 417 of the K8/wild-type sequence, thereby deleting 86 amino acids of the non alpha-helical tail domain but leaving the consensus seque...

متن کاملA route to self-assemble suspended DNA nano-complexes
Highly charged polyelectrolytes can self-assemble in presence of condensing agents such as multivalent cations, amphiphilic molecules or proteins of opposite charge. Aside precipitation, the formation of soluble micro- and nano-particles has been reported in multiple systems. However a precise control of experimental conditions needed to achieve the desired structures has been so far hampered b...
