Monodisperse self-assembly in a model with protein-like interactions.

Abstract:

We study the self-assembly behavior of patchy particles with "proteinlike" interactions that can be considered as a minimal model for the assembly of viral capsids and other shell-like protein complexes. We thoroughly explore the thermodynamics and dynamics of self-assembly as a function of the parameters of the model and find robust assembly of all target structures considered. Optimal assembly occurs in the region of parameter space where a free energy barrier regulates the rate of nucleati...
