Dynamics of particles with "key-lock" interactions
Nicholas A. Licata, Alexei V. Tkachenko
The dynamics of particles interacting by key-lock binding of attached biomolecules are studied theoretically. Examples of such systems include DNA-functionalized colloids as well a…

Statistical Mechanics of DNA-Mediated Colloidal Aggregation
Nicholas A. Licata, Alexei V. Tkachenko
We present a statistical mechanical model of aggregation in colloidal systems with DNA mediated interactions. We obtain a general result for the two-particle binding energy in term…

Self-assembly of DNA-coded nanoclusters
Nicholas A. Licata, Alexei V. Tkachenko
We present a theoretical discussion of a self-assembly scheme which makes it possible to use DNA to uniquely encode the composition and structure of micro- and nanoparticle cluster…
