We present an experimental investigation of the mechanisms that can be used to control blunt-end induced effective attractions between densely packed spherical double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) brushes. Using microscopy and particle tracking, we determine effects varying parameters controlling brush dsDNA fragment conformation, in particular functionality, salinity, length. The analysis structure dyn...
