Numerical evidence for nucleated self-assembly of DNA brick structures.
The observation by Ke et al. [Science 338, 1177 (2012)] that large numbers of short, predesigned DNA strands can assemble into three-dimensional target structures came as a great surprise, as no colloidal self-assembling system has ever achieved the same degree of complexity. That failure seemed easy to rationalize: the larger the number of distinct building blocks, the higher the expected erro...
متن کاملExperiments in Stochastic Self Assembly
The reaction rate equations of chemical kinetics provide a useful model for molecular self assembly, which can be exhibited as a continuous-time, continuous-space limit under the LLN (law of large numbers) scaling. The model takes the form of a set of first order, usually nonlinear ODEs describing the concentrations of the various reactants. With explicit solutions in mind, these systems have r...
متن کاملStochastic Control for Self-assembly of Xbots
We propose a stochastic, decentralized algorithm for the self-assembly of a group of modular robots into a geometric shape. The method is inspired by chemical kinetics simulations, particularly, the Gillespie algorithm [1, 2] that is widely used in biochemistry, and is specifically designed for modules with dynamic constraints, such as the XBot [3]. The most important feature of our algorithm i...
متن کاملOptimal Rules for Programmed Stochastic Self-Assembly
We consider the control of programmable selfassembling systems whose dynamics are governed by stochastic reaction-diffusion dynamics. In our system, particles may decide the outcomes of reactions initiated by the environment, thereby steering the global system to produce a desired assembly type. We describe a method that automatically generates a program maximizing yield based on tuning the rat...
متن کاملStochastic Analysis of Reversible Self-Assembly
The theoretical basis of computational self-assembly dates back to the idea of Wang tiling models in the early 1960s. More recently, it has been recognized that self-assembly is a promising route to nano-scale computation and there have been many experimental demonstrations of self-assembling DNA tiles performing computation. Winfree proposed abstract irreversible (only tile accretion is allowe...
