Templated self-assembly of patchy particles
Alexander J. Williamson, Alex W. Wilber, Jonathan P. K. Doye +1
We explore the use of templated self-assembly to facilitate the formation of complex target structures made from patchy particles. First, we consider the templating of high-symmetr…
Monodisperse self-assembly in a model with protein-like interactions
Alex W. Wilber, Jonathan P. K. Doye, Ard A. Louis +1
We study the self-assembly behaviour of patchy particles with `protein-like' interactions that can be considered as a minimal model for the assembly of viral capsids and other shel…
Self-assembly of monodisperse clusters: Dependence on target geometry
Alex W. Wilber, Jonathan P. K. Doye, Ard A. Louis
We apply a simple model system of patchy particles to study monodisperse self-assembly, using the Platonic solids as target structures. We find marked differences between the assem…
The self-assembly and evolution of homomeric protein complexes
Gabriel Villar, Alex W. Wilber, Alex J. Williamson +6
We introduce a simple "patchy particle" model to study the thermodynamics and dynamics of self-assembly of homomeric protein complexes. Our calculations allow us to rationalize rec…
Controlling crystallization and its absence: Proteins, colloids and patchy models
Jonathan P. K. Doye, Ard A. Louis, I-Chun Lin +5
The ability to control the crystallization behaviour (including its absence) of particles, be they biomolecules such as globular proteins, inorganic colloids, nanoparticles, or met…
Reversible self-assembly of patchy particles into monodisperse icosahedral clusters
Alex W. Wilber, Jonathan P. K. Doye, Ard A. Louis +3
We systematically study the design of simple patchy sphere models that reversibly self-assemble into monodisperse icosahedral clusters. We find that the optimal patch width is a co…
