A method is developed to automatically generate an assembling procedure for an assembly. In this work, an assembly is described by its components and their relationship in an assembly, especially the mating conditions. From the mating conditions of the components, an assembling procedure is generated in two steps. First, a hierarchical structure of the assembly is generated. Second, an assembly...

Self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffolds are an excellent material for applications such as tissue repair, tissue regeneration, instant stopping of bleeding, and slow drug release. We report a new self-assembling peptide D-EAK16 consisting purely of D-amino acids. D-EAK16 and L-EAK16 display mirror-image CD spectra at 20 degrees C. Like L-EAK16, D-EAK16 self-assembles into nanofibers, thus d...

We present a tile system for assembling a counter of width K and height N = 2 on top of a seed-row in optimum time Θ(N). Our counter works at temperature 2. Earlier known constructions either took sub-optimal time or required temperature 3. Using existing techniques, our system for assembling a counter from a seed row can be extended into a system for assembling an N × N square in optimum time ...

The three-dimensional structures of noncoding RNA molecules reveal recurring architectural motifs that have been exploited for the design of artificial RNA nanomaterials. Programmed assembly of RNA nanoobjects from autonomously folding tetraloop-receptor complexes as well as junction motifs has been achieved previously through sequence-directed hybridization of complex sets of long oligonucleot...
