Regular 2D arrays of multiple types of nanocomponents were constructed by self-assembly
to DNA scaffolding with alternating rows of sequence-encoded hybridization sites. Different …

The paranemic crossover (PX) is a motif for assembling two nucleic acid molecules using
Watson− Crick (WC) basepairing without unfolding preformed secondary structure in the …

Linear oligomeric supramolecular assemblies of defined length have been generated using
the Vernier principle. Two molecules, containing a different number (n and m) of mutually …

Using atomic force microscopy, we describe the linear arrangement of cationic gold
nanoparticles directed by programmable self-assembling RNA ladders and demonstrate that …

Algorithmic self-assembly, a generalization of crystal growth, has been proposed as a
mechanism for bottom-up fabrication of complex nanostructures and autonomous DNA …

Magnesium-ion-mediated RNA− RNA loop− receptor interactions, in conjunction with gold
nanoparticles derivatized with DNA, have been used to make self-assembled nanowires. A …

RNA offers a variety of interactions and dynamic conformational switches not available with
DNA that may be exploited for the construction of nanomolecular structures. Here, we show …

This work reveals that mutant forms of RNA methyltransferases that form 5-methylcytosine
(m5C) have characteristics that may make them useful for biomacromolecular assembly. The …

A new configurational-bias Monte Carlo (CBMC) method is developed for lattice polymer
simulation. In contrast to usual approaches, no particular structure is assumed a priori …
