Symmetry in Sphere-Based Assembly Configuration Spaces

Abstract: Many remarkably robust, rapid and spontaneous self-assembly phenomena occurring in nature can be modeled geometrically, starting from a collection of rigid bunches of spheres. This paper highlights the role of symmetry in sphere-based assembly processes. Since spheres within bunches could be identical and bunches could be identical, as well, the underlying symmetry groups could be of large order that grows with the number of participating spheres and bunches. Thus, understanding symmetries and associated isomo… Show more

“…It also describes the preliminary extensions of EASAL beyond dimer assemblies and viability of using EASAL for atlasing a wide variety of assembly systems including clusters of up to 24 assembling spherical particles. Leveraging symmetry of the assembly landscape arising from identical input rigid molecular components is discussed in ref 79. The key ideas presented in the above contributions are sketched in Section 2.…”

“…they don't move far from a reference configurationthe definition coincides with the geometrical symmetries of the configuration, such as a symmetry upon reflection or upon rotation by certain angles around certain axes. Much effort has gone into developing methods to evaluate the geometrical symmetry group of molecules, an effort which is ongoing since this computation is a challenge for large molecules [2,3,4,5,6].…”
