我们提出了一个自组装方案，这使得有可能使用DNA唯一编码的微粒和纳米粒子簇的组成和结构的理论讨论。这些各向异性的DNA修饰的簇可以进一步用作较大结构的分级自组装的构建块。我们解决几个重要方面的可能的实验实施方案：不同类型的集群之间的竞争在一个解决方案中，可能的干扰在一个不需要的配置，和退化由于对称性相对于粒子排列。
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 microparticle and nanoparticle clusters. These anisotropic DNA-decorated clusters can be further used as building blocks for hierarchical self-assembly of larger structures. We address several important aspects of possible experimental implementation of the proposed scheme: the competition between different types of clusters in a solution, possible jamming in an unwanted configuration, and the degeneracy due to symmetry with respect to particle permutations.
