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 کاملSynthetic diamond and wurtzite structures self-assemble with isotropic pair interactions.
Using inverse statistical-mechanical optimization techniques, we have discovered isotropic pair interaction potentials with strongly repulsive cores that cause the tetrahedrally coordinated diamond and wurtzite lattices to stabilize, as evidenced by lattice sums, phonon spectra, positive-energy defects, and self-assembly in classical molecular dynamics simulations. These results challenge conve...
متن کاملEvolutionary Discovery of Arbitrary Self-replicating Structures
In this paper we describe our recent use of genetic programming methods to automatically discover CA rule sets that produce self-replication of arbitrary given structures. Our initial results have produced larger, more rapidly replicating structures than past evolutionary models while requiring only a small fraction of the computational time needed in past similar studies. We conclude that gene...
متن کاملThe self assembly of proteins; probing patchy protein interactions.
The ability to control the self-assembly of biological molecules to form defined structures, with a high degree of predictability is a central aim for soft matter science and synthetic biology. Several examples of this are known for synthetic systems, such as anisotropic colloids. However, for biomacromolecules, such as proteins, success has been more limited, since aeolotopic (or anisotropic) ...
متن کاملAre Presynaptic Proteins Predisposed to Self-Assemble?
Tight control of synapse formation ensures that neurons connect to appropriate targets. In this issue of Neuron, Klassen et al. identify ARL-8 GTPase as a regulator of presynaptic assembly. Without ARL-8, presynaptic material aggregates en route to its destination, suggesting that ARL-8 acts like a dispersant to prevent premature synaptic assembly in the axon.
